She was guided with in-hospital respiratory training to the extent that the patient could tolerate it and then was discharged from the hospital to have a home-based respiratory rehabilitation for a period of 3 months. The training plan was as follows: (i) Respiratory muscle function test: the patient's resting maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) were assessed by the respiratory trainer equipment, and the respiratory muscle weakness/invulnerability was defined as a measured maximal pressure value less than 80 cmH<sub>2</sub>O according to the ERS guidelines.<span><sup>1</sup></span> (ii) Respiratory muscle training impedance progression: first month, 30% of the MIP and MEP of this test, 30 repetitions/day, 5–7 days/week for 1 month; second month, reassessment of respiratory muscle strength with impedance of 35% of the MIP and MEP of this test, 30 repetitions/day, 5–7 days/week for 1 month; and month 3, reassessment of respiratory muscle strength with impedance of MIP and 40% of MEP, 30 times/day, 5–7 days/week for 1 month.

The complex biomarker and mechanistic data from these “omics” studies present analytical and interpretive challenges, especially for traditional statistical methods.

We consolidate existing literature to date around ML for chronic disease prediction to synthesize major trends and trajectories that may inform both future research and clinical translation efforts in this growing field.
