Developing a machine learning algorithm to predict prostate cancer risk in men aged 40 and above at risk of prostate cancer
(Makerere University, 2024)Introduction – Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men globally and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Uganda. Despite the availability of screening tools, the accuracy of prostate cancer ... -
Machine learning and orthology-based design of synergistic drug combinations against aspergillus fumigatus
(Makerere University, 2024)Background: Aspergillus fumigatus is a common fungal species that can cause invasive aspergillosis, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. In Uganda, around 9% of the population suffers from fungal diseases. Drug ... -
A machine learning approach to predict E. coli antibacterial resistance using whole-genome sequencing data
(Makerere University, 2023)Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health threat, particularly impacting low- and middle-income countries(LMICS) such as Uganda, where reliable and rapid methods for detecting AMR in E. coli ... -
Predicting suicidality in people living with HIV in Uganda: A machine learning approach
(Makerere University, 2024-10)Background Suicidality is a major risk factor for future suicide attempts and completed suicide. People living with HIV (PLWH) are at a higher risk of fatal suicide attempts compared to the general population due to the ... -
Predicting switch to second-line antiretroviral therapy regimen: A comparison of the traditional linear classification methods and advance nonlinear machine learning algorithms
(Makerere University, 2022)Introduction: Due to changes in data patterns, self-learning approaches have been adopted in research which is commonly known as Machine Learning (ML). ML has been used previously to predict health outcomes such as early ...
