Intravenous immunoglobulin as an adjunct to phototherapy in neonatal haemolytic disease: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Phototherapy remains the first‐line treatment of haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), a potentially life‐threatening condition caused by maternal alloimmunisation. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been proposed as an adjunct to ...

Convolutional neural network for red blood cell transfusion prediction: A machine learning based study
Background: Subjective, inconsistent clinician judgement on red blood cell (RBC) transfusion demand causes unnecessary blood wastage, increased perioperative safety risks, and poorly balanced hospital blood inventory. To tackle these per...
