Exploring Neural-Network Models in Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease

Send us Fan MailDr. Derek Ng joins EPITalk host and co-author, Dr. Patrick Sullivan to explore whether a neural-network model utilizing two blood biomarkers can more accurately estimate kidney function in pediatric chronic kidney disease than current standard equations. “A comparison of neural networks and regression-based approaches for estimating kidney function in pediatric chronic kidney disease: Practical predictive epidemiology for clinical management of a progressive disease” is published in the May 2025 issue (Vol. 105) of Annals of Epidemiology.Read the full article here:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1047279725000717 Episode Credits:Executive Producer: Sabrina Debas (Episodes 1-18) and Sofina Tran (19-)Technical Producer: Paula BurrowsAnnals of Epidemiology is published by Elsevier
