Predicting sleep quality with digital biomarkers and artificial neural networks by Hyolim Lee, Minsung Cho, Sang Won Lee, Sang Won Lee, Sungkyu Park

“…We analyzed seven days of preceding data to predict next-day WASO using various machine learning approaches including ARIMA, Random Forest, XGBoost, GRU, TCN, Transformers, and LSTM models.ResultsAmong HRV features, the low-frequency to high-frequency (LF/HF) ratio emerged as the strongest correlate with WASO, showing statistically significant differences between groups (Lower LF/HF: 7.5±2.0 min vs. Higher LF/HF: 14.9±3.0 min, p=0.012). LSTM demonstrated superior predictive performance with 90.4% accuracy, 91.3% precision, and 89.9% recall for binary WASO classification. …”

Validity of ICD-10-CM codes for determination of diabetes type for persons with youth-onset type 1 and type 2 diabetes by Xia Li, Gloria C Chi, Sara Y Tartof, Jeff M Slezak, Corinna Koebnick, Jean M. Lawrence

“…We obtained 90.6% (95% CI 88.4% to 92.9%) sensitivity, 96.3% (95% CI 95.4% to 97.1%) specificity, 89.3% (95% CI 86.9% to 91.6%) positive predictive value, 96.8% (95% CI 96.0% to 97.6%) negative predictive value, and 94.8% (95% CI 94.0% to 95.7%) accuracy for discriminating T2DM from T1DM.Conclusions ICD-10-CM codes can accurately classify diabetes type for persons with youth-onset diabetes, showing promise for rapid, cost-efficient diabetes surveillance.…”

Сauses of Dizziness in Patients with Suspected Stroke by E. V. Shevchenko, G. R. Ramazanov, S. S. Petrikov

“…In 70.6% patients (n=113), the dizziness was associated with peripheral vestibulopathy: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (n=85 (75%)), vestibular neuritis (n=19 (17%)), Meniere’s disease (n=7 (6%)), labyrinthitis (n=2 (1,3%)). In 6.9% patients (n=11), the cause of dizziness was hypertensive encephalopathy, 1.9% of patients (n=3) had heart rhythm disturbance, 9.4% of patients (n=15) had psychogenic dizziness, 0.6% of patients (n=1) had demyelinating disease, and 0.6% of patients (n=1) had hemic hypoxia associated with iron deficiency anemia.Conclusion In 70.6% patients with acute dizziness, admitted to hospital with a suspected stroke, peripheral vestibulopathy was revealed. …”
