TI  - Prediction of outcome in acute lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage: role of 
      artificial neural network.
PG  - 1064-9
AB  - Acute lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage (LGIH) has traditionally been defined as 
      bleeding that occurs distal to the ligament of Treitz. More recently, however, it 
      has been subdivided into mid-intestinal (small bowel) hemorrhage and bleeding 
      that originates from the colon. Acute LGIH has diverse etiologies, is a frequent 
      cause of hospital admission, and is associated with significant patient morbidity 
      and mortality, as well as substantial economic cost. In contrast to hemorrhage 
      from the upper gastrointestinal tract (UGIH), the management of acute LGIH is 
      less well defined; furthermore, there is a paucity of published studies that 
      evaluate predictive models in this disorder. Nonetheless, extrapolating from what 
      is known in UGIH, the development of reliable predictive models in LGIH may lead 
      to improved patient care and outcome, by enhancing clinical triage, and by the 
      more cost-effective use of limited healthcare resources. In this review, we 
      discuss the technical development and potential use of artificial neural network 
      in patients presenting with acute LGIH.
