In cluster analysis, a common first step is to scale the data aiming to better partition them into clusters. Even though many different techniques have throughout many years been introduced to this en...
Early literacy skills, the foundational abilities necessary for the development of literacy, must be examined holistically in preschool children. This study aimed to investigate early literacy skills ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a heterogeneous condition. We performed a cluster analysis in a cohort of patients with AF and assessed the prognostic implication of the identified cluster phenotypes....
We used two multicentre, prospective, observational registries of AF: the SAKURA AF registry (Real World Survey of Atrial Fibrillation Patients Treated with Warfarin and Non-vitamin K Antagonist Oral ...
The analysis subclassified derivation cohort patients into five clusters. Cluster 1 (n=414, 13.6%) was characterised by younger men with a low prevalence of comorbidities; cluster 2 (n=1003, 32.8%) by...
Machine learning-based cluster analysis identified five different phenotypes of AF with unique clinical characteristics and different clinical outcomes. The use of these phenotypes may help identify h...
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital cryptocurrency. Its network is a Peer-to-peer(P2P) network consisting of distributed nodes. Some of these nodes are always online and in this article are called Bitc...
Healthcare providers must understand patients' expectations and perceptions of the care they receive to provide high-quality care. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse different cluste...
A cross-sectional design was applied. The data were collected in 2017 from three Finnish acute care hospitals with the Revised Humane Caring Scale (RHCS) as a paper questionnaire, including six backgr...
A total of 1810 patients participated in the study. Patient satisfaction was categorised into four groups: dissatisfied (n = 58), moderately dissatisfied (n = 249), moderately satisfied (n = 608), and...
The results mostly demonstrated high levels of patient satisfaction; however, the perceptions of minority populations of dissatisfied patients should be assessed to identify shortcomings in the care p...
Cancer has become a major health concern due to the increasing morbidity and mortality rates, and its negative social, economic consequences and the heavy financial burden incurred by cancer patients....
We conducted a cross-sectional survey of adult patients at Mohamed Sekkat and Sidi Othmane Hospitals in Casablanca, Morocco. Data collection was conducted by two trained interviewers who administered ...
The cluster-based analysis showed that participants in cluster 1 had the highest mean attitude score (13.9 ± 2.15) and percentage of individuals with a high level of knowledge (50.8%) whereas the lowe...
The findings showed that female individuals living in rural settings, belonging to an older age group, who were least likely to use health professionals as an information source had the lowest levels ...
Seizure clustering, is the most frequently reported adverse event in epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) safety studies which, can also potentiate other adverse events, such as falls, status epilepticus, a...
A retrospective review of patients admitted to the EMU over a two-year period was completed. Data collected included patient demographics, types of epilepsy, seizure frequency, anti-seizure medication...
Two hundred seven patients were included in our study; of these, ninety patients experienced two or more seizures in a 24-hour period (24SC), and 68 patients experienced two or more seizures in a 4-ho...
Our data showed that long-acting ASMs can be protective against seizure clustering. Furthermore, patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, and those on increased numbers of ASMs, were more likely to exper...
Previous studies suggested that distinct phenotypes of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA; formerly known as Churg-Strauss syndrome) could be determined by the presence or absence of ...
This study used standardized data of 15 European centers for patients with EGPA fulfilling widely accepted classification criteria. We used multiple correspondence analysis, hierarchical cluster analy...
The analyses included 489 patients diagnosed between 1984 and 2015. ANCA were detected in 37.2% of patients, mostly perinuclear ANCA (85.4%) and/or antimyeloperoxidase (87%). Compared with ANCA-negati...
Although reinforcing the known association of ANCA status with clinical manifestations, cluster analysis does not support a complete separation of EGPA in ANCA-positive and -negative subsets. Collecti...
This article aims to analyze spatial and temporal patterns of maternal mortality in Brazil during the period 2010-2020 and identify related socioeconomic indicators. We conducted an ecological study o...
Although Kawasaki disease is commonly regarded as a single disease entity, variability in clinical manifestations and disease outcome has been recognised. We aimed to use a data-driven approach to ide...
We analysed clinical data from patients with Kawasaki disease diagnosed at Rady Children's Hospital (San Diego, CA, USA) between Jan 1, 2002, and June 30, 2022. Patients were grouped by hierarchical c...
Among 1016 patients with complete data in the final analysis, four subgroups were identified with distinct clinical features: (1) hepatobiliary involvement with elevated alanine transaminase, gamma-gl...
Our data-driven analysis provides insight into the heterogeneity of Kawasaki disease, and supports the existence of distinct subgroups with important implications for clinical management and research ...
