Data-driven clustering supports adaptive remodeling of athlete's hearts: An echocardiographic study from the Taipei Summer Universiade
CONCLUSION: Hierarchical clustering could analyze complicated multiparametric interactions among numerous echocardiography-derived phenotypes to discern the adaptive propensity of the athlete's heart. The endorsement or generation of hypotheses by a data-driven approach can be applied to various domains.PMID:34740491 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2021.10.017

Comparison of risk scores in predicting symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after endovascular thrombectomy
CONCLUSION: Among various risk scores, the TAG and SEDAN scores best predict SICH after EVT. Higher glucose level and unsuccessful recanalization, which are included in the TAG and SEDAN scores, are independent risk factors of SICH in the present cohort, highlighting their detrimental effects.PMID:34556379 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2021.09.005
