    (Başkent Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi, 2024-02-19) Alberto, Isabelle Rose I.; Alberto, Nicole Rose I.; Altinel, Yuksel; Blacker, Sarah; Binotti, William Warr; Celi, Leo Anthony; Chua, Tiffany; Fiske, Amelia; Griffin, Molly; Karaca, Gulce; Mokolo, Nkiruka; Naawu, David Kojo N.; Patscheider, Jonathan; Petushkov, Anton; Quion, Justin Michael; Senteio, Charles; Taisbak, Simon; Tirnova, Ismail; Tokashiki, Harumi; Velasquez, Adrian; Yaghy, Antonio; Yap, Keagan
    Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are central components of today's medical environment. The fairness of AI, i.e. the ability of AI to be free from bias, has repeatedly come into question. This study investigates the diversity of members of academia whose scholarship poses questions about the fairness of AI. The articles that combine the topics fairness, artificial intelligence, and medicine were selected from Pubmed, Google Scholar, and Embase using keywords. Eligibility and data extraction from the articles were done manually and cross-checked by another author for accuracy. Articles were selected for further analysis, cleaned, and organized in Microsoft Excel; spatial diagrams were generated using Public Tableau. Additional graphs were generated using Matplotlib and Seaborn. Linear and logistic regressions were conducted using Python to measure the relationship between funding status, number of citations, and the gender demographics of the authorship team. We identified 375 eligible publications, including research and review articles concerning AI and fairness in healthcare. Analysis of the bibliographic data revealed that there is an overrepresentation of authors that are white, male, and are from high-income countries, especially in the roles of first and last author. Additionally, analysis showed that papers whose authors are based in higher-income countries were more likely to be cited more often and published in higher impact journals. These findings highlight the lack of diversity among the authors in the AI fairness community whose work gains the largest readership, potentially compromising the very impartiality that the AI fairness community is working towards.

    Literature Review and 2 Cases of Isolated Chylothorax After Pediatric Living-Donor Liver Transplant
    (2023) Tirnova, Ismail; Alim, Altan; Vehbi, Sezan; Demir, Baris; Akbulut, Akin; Karatas, Cihan; Kanmaz, Turan; 0000-0003-4488-1607; 37503801; ISB-9235-2023
    Objectives: Chylothorax without chylous ascites after liver transplant is rare. We present 2 cases of isolated chylothorax after liver transplant and a literature review. Materials and Methods: We compiled a literature review of chylothorax cases after abdominal surgery and analyzed the cases related to liver transplant. The demographic information, follow-up results, and treatment details of our 2 cases of chylothorax after living-donor pediatric liver transplant were discussed. Results: An 8-month-old child and a 15-month-old child with cholestatic liver disease and urea cycle defect, respectively, underwent living-donor left lateral segment liver transplant. Patients who presented with chylothorax after discharge were treated conservatively. Conclusions: Isolated chylothorax is rare complication after abdominal surgery, which is mostly possible to treat with conservative methods. Interventional procedures and a surgical approach should only be performed in resistant cases when conservative treatment has failed.
