Utilizing Machine Learning to Predict Neurological Injury in Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Patients: An Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry Analysis

In a study analyzing 37,473 VV-ECMO patients, machine learning was used to predict acute brain injury (ABI), revealing a 7.1% incidence of ABI and identifying pre-ECMO cardiac arrest as the most significant risk factor. The study’s machine learning models, however, showed sub-optimal performance in predicting ABI, attributed to the low prevalence of ABI and the lack of standardized neuromonitoring and imaging protocols in the ELSO Registry data.

A Review of Top Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine Journal Guidelines regarding the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence Tools in Scientific Writing

A review of the top 25 cardiology and cardiovascular medicine journals according to the 2023 SCImago rankings revealed that all allow the use of generative AI in scientific writing within ICMJE limitations, but prohibit AI in authorship, image generation, and peer review processes, requiring authors to take full responsibility for their work. These guidelines are standardized and followed by all studied journals, emphasizing the importance of adhering to and updating these policies to uphold scientific integrity.

Differentiating ChatGPT-Generated and Human-Written Medical Texts: Quantitative Study

This study compares medical texts written by human experts with those generated by ChatGPT, revealing that while ChatGPT’s texts are fluent, they lack the specific, useful information typically found in human-authored texts. It also presents a machine learning method, with over 95% accuracy, for distinguishing between these two types of texts, underscoring the importance of responsible AI use in medicine.

Supervised Machine Learning Model to Predict Mortality in Patients Undergoing Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation from a Nationwide Multicentre Registry

Machine learning models, specifically extreme gradient boosting and light gradient boosting, demonstrated higher accuracy than conventional models in predicting 90-day mortality for patients undergoing venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). These advanced models, outperforming existing methods like RESP and PRESERVE, show potential for improving patient selection by identifying those less likely to benefit from VV-ECMO therapy.

Artificial Intelligence-Based Analysis of Body Composition Predicts Outcome in Patients Receiving Long-Term Mechanical Circulatory Support

This study used artificial intelligence to analyze preoperative CT scans of heart failure patients receiving left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantations, revealing that greater adipose tissue areas are associated with higher postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality. It concluded that preoperative body composition, particularly adipose tissue, can predict poorer outcomes post-LVAD implantation, impacting postoperative quality of life and walking distance.

Role of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Publishing. What is Acceptable, What is Not

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), including platforms like ChatGPT, is increasingly used in the scientific publishing world for tasks ranging from improving the quality of manuscripts to aiding in peer review processes. However, its use raises ethical concerns, such as potential cheating by students, breach of confidentiality by peer reviewers, and the opacity of AI systems, leading to calls for transparency and accountability in the use of AI in scientific publications, as well as guidelines for authors, reviewers, and publishers in declaring AI-generated content.
