Machine-learning based prediction of Cushing’s syndrome in dogs attending UK primary-care veterinary practice (2021)
Journal Article
Schofield, I., Brodbelt, D. C., Kennedy, N., Niessen, S. J. M., Church, D. B., Geddes, R. F., & O’Neill, D. G. (2021). Machine-learning based prediction of Cushing’s syndrome in dogs attending UK primary-care veterinary practice. Scientific Reports, 11(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-88440-z

Cushing’s syndrome is an endocrine disease in dogs that negatively impacts upon the quality-of-life of affected animals. Cushing’s syndrome can be a challenging diagnosis to confirm, therefore new methods to aid diagnosis are warranted. Four machine-...
