UROSEPSIS
Despite the limitations, this is the first study using ANN to estimate the urosepsis risk for upper urinary tract calculi base on ultrasound and urinalysis. This model could help determine the probability of urosepsis and then perform targeted examinations or interventions, which would be more efficient to improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment.Availability of data and materialsThe datasets used and/or analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.Ethical approvalThe study was conducted following the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the ethics committee for medical research at Shantou Central Hospital (IRB Number: 2019-sci-No.070).
