Article Abstract

In many regions of the world, significant data collection, analysis, and availability on comorbidity and fatality incidents caused by COVID-19 during the lockdown period (2020-2022) is rare. This is especially true for hospitals and COVID treatment facilities in India. This lack of understanding impedes the development of appropriate treatment options, potentially resulting in inferior planning, patient recovery results, and a load on healthcare resources. This project intends to bridge the gap and enhance patient care in Assam, India, in light of the COVID pandemic. Furthermore, this study aims to determine baseline patient characteristics associated with an elevated risk of death among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Assam. We employed machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) approaches to discover hidden patterns in patient data that could predict which individuals are more sensitive to severe consequences. This knowledge has the potential to transform patient care by allowing doctors to personalize treatment plans and prioritize resources for individuals who are most at risk. A retrospective observational analysis was performed using data from 5329 individuals hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 illness between April and December 2021. ML and DL algorithms could be used to examine patient characteristics and identify risk factors for death (in this case, 554). We expect this to help us better understand the risk factors for in-hospital death among COVID19 patients in Assam. The findings could be useful in building risk assessment tools to guide patient care.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of death, particularly in developing countries, where their incidence continues to rise. Traditional CVD diagnostic methods are often time-consuming and inconvenient, necessitating more efficient alternatives. Rapid and accurate measurement of cardiac biomarkers released into body fluids is critical for early detection, timely intervention, and improved patient outcomes.

Importance: Consumer wearable technologies have wide applications, including some that have US Food and Drug Administration clearance for health-related notifications. While wearable technologies may have premarket testing, validation, and safety evaluation as part of a regulatory authorization process, information on their postmarket use remains limited. The Stanford Center for Digital Health organized 2 pan-stakeholder think tank meetings to develop an organizing concept for empirical research on the postmarket evaluation of consumer-facing wearables.

Importance: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with or without prostate biopsy, has become the standard of care for diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer. Resource capacity limits widespread adoption. Biparametric MRI, which omits the gadolinium contrast sequence, is a shorter and cheaper alternative offering time-saving capacity gains for health systems globally.

Importance: The efficacy of home end-of-life care in enhancing the quality of life for terminally ill patients and families has been well documented. While previous studies have explored perspectives on quality home palliative care and end-of-life care in several countries, limited knowledge exists regarding its specific components in the Chinese context.

Objective: To explore the core elements that constitute quality home end-of-life care in China.
