Deep learning has bested experienced neurosurgeons at predicting poor outcomes, including mortality, among patients admitted comatose with severe traumatic brain injuries.
Researchers in Sweden deployed drones during real-life emergencies, noting that the drone often arrived to the patient's location ahead of an ambulance.
The model combines clinical data with imaging from head CT scans in individuals with severe traumatic brain injuries to quickly predict 6-month outcomes.
The American Heart Association and Enduring Hearts awarded the grants to two research teams studying ways to improve heart transplant outcomes in children.
Utilization of head CT perfusion (CTP) for imaging stroke patients spiked 428% between 2012 and 2019. Curiously, the uptrend was associated with higher mortality up to a year after discharge.
