Consistency and Risk Stratification Performance of 4 Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions SHOCK Stage Definitions: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a critical condition associated with high mortality rates, making prompt diagnosis essential for timely interventions that may improve patient outcomes. The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) SHOCK Stage Classification is a validated tool for assessing CS and predicting patient outcomes. Here, we evaluated how different parameter definitions affect SCAI stage adjudication, hypothesizing that variations may influence stage determination and the overall assessment of CS.

Effectiveness of the Medical Chatbot PROSCA to Inform Patients About Prostate Cancer: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background And Objective: Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered conversational agents are increasingly finding application in health care, as these can provide patient education at any time. However, their effectiveness in medical settings remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to assess the impact of the chatbot "PROState cancer Conversational Agent" (PROSCA), which was trained to provide validated support from diagnostic tests to treatment options for men facing prostate cancer (PC) diagnosis.

An artificial intelligence-based chatbot for prostate cancer education: Design and patient evaluation study.

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in healthcare. AI-based chatbots can act as automated conversational agents, capable of promoting health and providing education at any time. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a user-friendly medical chatbot (prostate cancer communication assistant (PROSCA)) for provisioning patient information about early detection of prostate cancer (PC).
