Background: Early prediction of the outcome situation of COVID-19 patients can decrease mortality risk by assuring efficient resource allocation and treatment planning. This study introduces a very accurate and fast system for the prediction of COVID-19 outcomes using demographic, vital signs, and laboratory blood test data. Methods: In this analytic study, which is done from May 2020 to June ...

INTRODUCTION In assessing erythropoietic agents for chemotherapy-induced anemia, traditional single time-point end points (e.g., hematopoietic response [HR]) fail to reflect clinical benefits over the entire therapy course. Area under the hemoglobin change curve (Hb AUC) is introduced as an alternative measure, and its reliability, clinical significance, and superiority are assessed. METHODS ...

PURPOSE To create a multivariable predictive model for glaucoma in an exclusively African American population and to compare the performance of the model with individual structural parameters derived from SD-OCT. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 103 healthy eyes and 118 glaucomatous eyes of African American patients underwent SD-OCT optic disc and macular scanning. Twenty-seven optic nerve hea...

Our objective was to assess whether the total area under the curve (AUC) of high-dose cyclophosphamide (CPA), combined with cisplatin and 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, could be predicted from its AUC on the first day of treatment. We reviewed the AUC of CPA in 470 patients who underwent pharmacokinetic monitoring of the drug. All patients received the same high-dose regimen of CPA, cisp...

The objective of this manuscript is to find area under the plasma concentrationtime curve (AUC) for multiple doses of salbutamol sulphate sustained release tablets (Ventolin oral tablets SR 8 mg, GSK, Pakistan) in the group of 18 healthy adults by using computational mathematics techniques. Following the administration of 4 doses of Ventolin tablets 12 hourly to 24 healthy human subjects and bi...
