Objective:
As the demand for community mental health services continues to grow, the need for well-equipped and organized services has become apparent. This study aimed to optimize the roles and infrastructure of mental health services, by establishing, among other initiatives, standardized operating models.
Methods:
The study was conducted in multiple phases from May 12, 2021, to December 29, 2021. Stakeholders within South Korea and metropolitan mental health welfare centers were targeted, but addiction management support centers, including officials, patients, and their families, were integrated as well. A literature review and survey, focus group interviews, a Delphi survey, and expert consultation contributed to comprehensive revisions and improvements of the mental health service model.
Results:
The proposed model for community mental health welfare centers emphasizes the expansion of personnel and infrastructure, with a focus on severe mental illnesses and suicide prevention. The model for metropolitan mental health welfare centers delineates essential tasks in areas such as project planning and establishment, community research, and education about severe mental illnesses. The establishment of a 24-hour emergency intervention center was a crucial feature. In the integrated addiction support center model, the need to promote addiction management is defined as an essential task and the establishment of national governance for addiction policies is recommended.
Conclusion
This study proposed standard operating models for three types of mental health service centers. To meet the increasing need for community care, robust mental health service delivery systems are of primary importance.

Purpose:
To develop a machine learning (ML) classifier for predicting post-induction hypotension (PIH) in non-cardiac surgeries.
Materials and Methods:
Preoperative data and early vital signs were obtained from 3669 cases in the VitalDB database, an opensource registry. PIH was defined as sustained mean arterial pressure (MAP) <65 mm Hg within 20 minutes since induction or from induction to incision. Six different ML algorithms were used to create binary classifiers to predict PIH. The primary outcome was the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of ML classifiers.
Results:
A total of 2321 (63.3%) cases exhibited PIH. Among ML classifiers, the random forest regressor and extremely gradient boosting regressor showed the highest AUROC, both recording a value of 0.772. Excluding these models, the light gradient boosting machine regressor showed the second highest AUROC [0.769; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.767–0.771], followed by the gradient boosting regressor (0.768; 95% CI, 0.763–0.772), AdaBoost regressor (0.752; 95% CI, 0.743–0.761), and automatic relevance determination regression (0.685; 95% CI, 0.669–0.701). The top three important features were mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP), minimum MAP, and minimum DBP from anesthetic induction to tracheal intubation, and these features were lower in cases with PIH (all p<0.001).
Conclusion
ML classifiers exhibited moderate performance in predicting PIH, and have the potential for real-time prediction.

Journal of the Korean Society of Radiology 2025;86(1):114-126
Purpose:
To identify US findings suggestive of malignancy in thyroid nodules with follicular lesions of undetermined significance (FLUS) or follicular neoplasm (FN) on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and evaluate the diagnostic performance.
Materials and Methods:
Seventy FLUS (n = 57) or FN (n = 13) nodules on FNAC that underwent surgical excision between February 2018 and November 2020 were selected. US findings were retrospectively reviewed. Orientation, margin, echogenicity, calcification, additional findings of the rim, echogenicity, heterogeneity of the solid portion, and the ratio of anterior posterior diameter to lateral diameter (criteria) were assessed. The diagnostic performances of US findings, criteria, and the Korean Society of Thyroid Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (K-TIRADS) were evaluated using logistic regression analysis.
Results:
Microcalcification, homogeneous solid echotexture, and thickened rims were suggestive of malignancy. Our criteria showed a highest area under the ROC curve (AUC) value of 0.771, sensitivity of 97.14%, accuracy of 77.14%, positive predictive value of 93.33%, negative predictive value of 95.24%, and specificity of 97.14%. The criteria showed a significantly higher AUC value than K-TIRADS.
Conclusion
US findings of homogenous solid portions, thick rims, and microcalcifications suggested malignancy in nodules with FLUS or FN on FNAC. These additional US findings could improve the diagnostic performance of K-TIRADS.
