Accuracy of machine learning methods in predicting prognosis of patients with psychotic spectrum disorders: a systematic review by Wilson W S Tam, Kang Sim, Jing Ling Tay, Yun Ling Ang

“…Logistic regression and random forest were the best performing algorithms. Factors influencing outcomes included demographic (age, ethnicity), illness (duration of untreated illness, types of symptoms), functioning (baseline functioning, interpersonal relationships and activity engagement), treatment variables (use of higher doses of antipsychotics, electroconvulsive therapy), data from passive sensor (call log, distance travelled, time spent in certain locations) and online activities (time of use, use of certain words, changes in search frequencies and length of queries).Conclusion Machine learning methods show promise in the prediction of prognosis (specifically functioning, relapse and remission) of mental disorders based on relevant collected variables. …”

Enhancing Spatial Allocation of Pediatric Medical Facilities for Reduced Travel-Related CO₂ Emissions: A Case Study in Tianjin, China by Hongjie Dong, He Zhang, Rui Wang, Yutong Zhang, Yuxue Zhang, Lisha Zhang

“…The results show that (1) travel-related CO₂ emissions for pediatric medical-seeking are the highest in the city center, outpatient-related CO₂ emissions surpass inpatient ones, and children’s hospital-related CO₂ emissions are higher than those related to comprehensive hospitals, from which potential carbon reduction points can be explored; (2) children’s hospitals with multibranch and composite functional allocations can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions; (3) comprehensive hospitals can further alleviate CO₂ emissions from children’s hospitals by enhancing the medical level, transportation infrastructure, population distribution, and other spatial environmental factors; (4) from the perspective of low-carbon travel and equity, a spatial allocation strategy should be adopted for children’s hospitals that includes multiple branches and composite functions, while comprehensive hospitals should focus on service capacity, parity, supply–demand ratio, and the population density of children.…”
