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)

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis in Hong Kong
CONCLUSION: This study showed that SJS/TEN are uncommon in Hong Kong but can cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Early recognition, prompt withdrawal of offending agents, and multidisciplinary supportive management are essential for improving clinical outcomes.PMID:38531617 | DOI:10.12809/hkmj2210131 (Source: Hong Kong Medical Journal)

Comparison of clinical characteristics between ACOSOG Z0011-eligible cohort and sentinel lymph node-positive breast cancer patients in Hong Kong
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that clinicopathological features were comparable between SLN-positive breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy and those undergoing breast-conserving treatment. Low-risk SLN-positive mastectomy patients may safely avoid completion axillary lymph node dissection.PMID:38523397 | DOI:10.12809/hkmj2210286 (Source: Hong Kong Medical Journal)
