The effect of machine learning tools for evidence synthesis on resource use and time-to-completion: protocol for a retrospective pilot study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-17)Background Machine learning (ML) tools exist that can reduce or replace human activities in repetitive or complex tasks. Yet, ML is underutilized within evidence synthesis, despite the steadily growing rate of primary study publication and the need to periodically update reviews to reflect new evidence. Underutilization may be partially explained by a paucity of evidence on how ML tools can reduce ... -
Novel approach to artefact detection and the definition of normal ranges of segmental strain and strain-rate values
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-13)Aims - Strain artefacts are known to hamper the correct interpretation of segmental strain and strain-rate (S/SR). Defining the normal ranges of myocardial segmental deformation is important in clinical studies and routine echocardiographic practice. In order to define artefact-free normal ranges for segmental longitudinal S/SR parameters, we investigated the extent to which different types of ... -

Characterization of the degree of food processing in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition: Application of the Nova classification and validation using selected biomarkers of food processing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-16)Background: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between the degree of food processing in our diet and the risk of various chronic diseases. Much of this evidence is based on the international Nova classification system, which classifies food into four groups based on the type of processing: (1) Unprocessed and minimally processed foods, (2) Processed culinary ingredients, ... -
Deep learning-derived cardiovascular age shares a genetic basis with other cardiac phenotypes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-31)Artifcial intelligence (AI)-based approaches can now use electrocardiograms (ECGs) to provide expertlevel performance in detecting heart abnormalities and diagnosing disease. Additionally, patient age predicted from ECGs by AI models has shown great potential as a biomarker for cardiovascular age, where recent work has found its deviation from chronological age (“delta age”) to be associated ... -
Borte bra, men hjemme best
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-24)Jeg var tre år og alene første gang jeg var i Oslo og på Rikshospitalet.
