SATS CAN BE USED FOR MORTALITY PREDICTION

Sats can be used for mortality prediction

Methods We did not find any publication reporting mortality prediction using SATS. To determine mortality prediction, we decided to use data from patients admitted to the Hopital Nap Kenbe of MSF in Port au Prince, Haiti. Data from 5813 patients admitted to that institution from 01/01/2013 to 31/12/2014 were used. Age of the patients, motif of admission according to MSF classification, triage c...

Can Prostate Specific Antigen Be Used as New Biomarker for Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer?

Introduction: As a glycoprotein, Plasma Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is mainly produced by prostate epithelial cells and is used as a major diagnostic tool for prostate cancer. A group of researchers relate the elevated number of estrogen receptors in breast cancer samples to the over-production of PSA in this type of cancer. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the participants' ...

Can Fault Prediction Models and Metrics be Used for Vulnerability Prediction?

Finding security vulnerabilities requires a different mindset than finding general faults in software thinking like an attacker. Therefore, security engineers looking to prioritize security inspection and testing efforts may be better served by a prediction model that indicates security vulnerabilities rather than faults. At the same time, faults and vulnerabilities have commonalities that may ...

Can Design Science be Used for Design?

Design Science is currently much discussed in Information Systems research. In our analysis we distinguish two distinct threads in this discussion. The first thread is a meta-debate about the nature of IS research, and (in particular) how design work can properly be enacted as research. The second thread is a normative discussion of how design work should be conducted – important in a field whe...
