Hong Kong consensus recommendations on the management of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Hong Kong Med J. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.12809/hkmj2210476. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis project was undertaken to develop the first set of consensus statements regarding the management of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in Hong Kong, with the goal of providing guidance to local clinicians. A multidisciplinary panel of experts discussed issues surrounding current PDAC management and reviewed evidence gathered in the local context to propose treatment recommendations. The experts used the Delphi approach to finalise management recommendations. Consensus was defined as ≥80% acceptance among all expert panel membe...

Prediction of hospital mortality among critically ill patients in a single centre in Asia: comparison of artificial neural networks and logistic regression-based model
CONCLUSION: Our ANN model outperformed the APACHE II model but was similar to the APACHE IV model in terms of predicting hospital mortality in Hong Kong. Artificial neural networks are valuable tools that can enhance real-time prognostic prediction.PMID:38545639 | DOI:10.12809/hkmj2210235 (Source: Hong Kong Medical Journal)
