Systematic review found AI and machine learning may improve mortality prediction after road traffic crashes by modelling non-linear patterns among demographic, clinical and crash factors.

A systematic review published 7 August 2026 examined 18 retrospective studies from 2014-2025 that used AI or machine learning to predict death after road traffic crashes, drawing mostly on national or regional databases, hospital records, and police or insurance tabular data.

Most classical AI models for bipolar disorder treatment optimization had high risk of bias and lack of external validation, and remain exploratory rather than ready for clinical use.

A PRISMA-guided systematic review of 35 studies examined classical AI for treatment optimization in adult bipolar disorder across five outcomes: acute response, long-term maintenance, relapse/readmission, safety/dose, and brain aging/phenotyping. By the July 2026 publication date, pooled performance ranged from modest for acute response (AUC 0.68) to moderate-to-high for maintenance (AUC 0.80) and high accuracy for safety/dose (85%-97%).
