Article Abstract
Study Objectives: In previous research, we built a deep neural network model based on Inception-Resnet-v2 to predict bone age (EFAI-BAA). The primary objective of the study was to determine if the EFAI-BAA was substantially concordant with the qualified physicians in assessing bone ages. The secondary objective of the study was to determine if the EFAI-BAA was no different in the clinical rating (advanced, normal, or delayed) with the qualified physicians.
Method: This was a retrospective study. The left-hand X-ray images of male subjects aged 3-16 years old and female subjects aged 2-15 years old were collected from China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) and Asia University Hospital (AUH) retrospectively since the trial began until the included image amount reached 368. This was a blinded study. The qualified physicians who ran, read, and interpreted the tests were blinded to the values assessed by the other qualified physicians and the EFAI-BAA.
Results: The concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) between the EFAI-BAA (EFAI-BAA), the evaluation of bone age by physician in Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital (KVGH), Taichung Veterans General Hospital (TVGH2), and in Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital (TZUCHI-TP) was 0.9828 (95% CI: 0.9790-0.9859, -value = 0.6782), 0.9739 (95% CI: 0.9681-0.9786, -value = 0.0202), and 0.9592 (95% CI: 0.9501-0.9666, -value = 0.4855), respectively.
Conclusion: There was a consistency of bone age assessment between the EFAI-BAA and each one of the three qualified physicians (CCC = 0.9). As the significant difference in the clinical rating was only found between the EFAI-BAA and the qualified physician in TVGH2, the performance of the EFAI-BAA was considered similar to the qualified physicians.

Increasingly, adolescents are struggling with poor mental health outcomes, making it essential to improve access to high-quality mental health services. Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) act as key "safety-net" health centers for low-income youth seeking mental health services, as the majority accept Medicaid. This study examines how administrative burdens, i.

Introduction: Individuals dually eligible for insurance through both Medicaid and Medicare ("duals") have more comorbidities, higher costs, and poorer outcomes compared to other groups. Unfortunately, policy and care redesign initiatives suffer from limited knowledge about ambulatory care patterns among duals.
Methods: Using 2022 Medicare fee-for-service claims and other sources of clinician and geographic data, we described care patterns for ambulatory services among dual vs non-duals.

Importance: Prenatal intensive behavioral therapy (IBT) interventions that promote adequate gestational weight gain (GWG) have had variable and mostly modest effects on clinically relevant maternal and infant outcomes. It is unknown whether different maternal obesity metabolic phenotypes underlie the heterogeneity in response.
Objective: To examine GWG, adverse perinatal outcomes, substrate changes, and differential changes in each in a prenatal IBT intervention conducted among pregnant individuals with 2 identified obesity phenotypes.
