Using growth velocity to predict child mortality12
Background: Growth assessment based on the WHO child growth velocity standards can potentially be used to predict adverse health outcomes. Nevertheless, there are very few studies on growth velocity to predict mortality. Objectives: We aimed to determine the ability of various growth velocity measures to predict child death within 3 mo and to compare it with those of attained growth measures. D...
متن کاملMyocardial Tissue Doppler Velocity in Child Growth
BACKGROUND In adults, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a recommended component of routine echocardiography. However, TDI velocities are less accepted in pediatrics, due to their strong variability and age dependence in children. This study examines the distribution of myocardial tissue Doppler velocities in healthy children to assess the effect of age with cardiac growth on the various echocardi...
متن کاملUsing neural networks to predict road roughness
When a vehicle travels on a road, different parts of vehicle vibrate because of road roughness. This paper proposes a method to predict road roughness based on vertical acceleration using neural networks. To this end, first, the suspension system and road roughness are expressed mathematically. Then, the suspension system model will identified using neural networks. The results of this step sho...
متن کاملUsing Highly Detailed Administrative Data to Predict Pneumonia Mortality
BACKGROUND Mortality prediction models generally require clinical data or are derived from information coded at discharge, limiting adjustment for presenting severity of illness in observational studies using administrative data. OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a mortality prediction model using administrative data available in the first 2 hospital days. RESEARCH DESIGN After dividing th...
متن کاملUsing Neural Networks to Predict Individual Tree Mortality
Within forest growth modeling it is customary to employ LOGIT models to predict individual tree mortality. In this paper we use Learning Vector Quantization and the self-organizing map as diierent formalisms to predict individual tree mortality. The data set for this study came from permanent sample plots in uneven-aged Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) stands in Austria. After parameterizin...
