Mortality risk after the first occurrence of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures in the general population: A nationwide cohort study
This study aimed to evaluate mortality risk after the first occurrence of OVCF in the general population using a nationwide dataset from the Korean National Health Insurance System. We identified 291,203 newly diagnosed patients with OVCF and 873,609 patients without OVCF at a ratio of 1:3 matched by sex and age between 2010 and 2012. We investigated the latent characteristics of patients’ demographic information and chronic comorbidities that could affect mortality when diagnosed with OVCF.

What Robotaxis Mean for Healthcare
BY KIM BELLARD
You may have seen that last week the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) gave approval for two companies to operate self-driving taxicabs (“robotaxis”) in San Francisco, available 24/7 and able to charge fares. Think Uber or Lyft but without drivers.

Development of Prediction Model Using Machine-Learning Algorithms for Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug-Induced Gastric Ulcer in Osteoarthritis Patients: Retrospective Cohort Study of a Nationwide South Korean Cohort
CONCLUSIONS: We obtained a prediction model for NSAID-induced gastric ulcers using the GBM method. Since personal prescription period and the severity of comorbidities were considered numerically, individual patients' risk could be well reflected. The prediction model showed high performance and interpretability, so it is meaningful to both clinicians and NSAID users.PMID:37529187 | PMC:PMC10375806 | DOI:10.4055/cios22240
