To develop and validate predictive models for osteoradionecrosis (ORN) after head and neck radiation therapy (RT) using time-to-event data with death as the competing risk, and to quantify the degree of risk overestimation when the competing risk is ignored. In this prognostic study of patients who underwent curative RT between 2011 and 2018, with ongoing follow-up, sociodemographic, clinical, and dosimetric data were collected. The binary ORN outcome was defined by the ClinRad system (grade ≥ 1); all-cause mortality was the competing event. Fine-Gray regression (FGR), Random Survival Forests (RSF) with Gray's test splitting rule, and DeepHit were implemented using repeated nested stratified cross-validation. Feature selection and interpretation were guided by SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). For comparison, non-competing risk models such as Cox proportional hazards (Cox PH) and standard RSF (S-RSF) with log-rank splitting rule were also trained. Of 2,466 patients, 183 developed ORN during follow-up, and 714 died. Three versions of each model were developed using 20, 10, and 5 features. The 10- and 5-feature RSF models performed best. Considering simplicity, the 5-feature model, which included tumor site, D10cc, smoking pack-years, periodontal condition, and dental insurance, was selected for production. At 60 months, Brier Score was 0.061 (95% CI: 0.060-0.063), Integrated Brier Score 0.038 (95% CI: 0.037-0.040), time-dependent AUC 0.776 (95% CI: 0.762-0.789), and C-index 0.772 (95% CI: 0.757-0.787). FGR closely followed, whereas DeepHit underperformed. Non-competing models, including the S-RSF, overestimated ORN risk, predicting an average 60-month cumulative incidence of 8.7% versus 6.8% with the 5-feature RSF. A parsimonious RSF model reliably estimated individualized ORN risk while avoiding overestimation from ignored competing risks. An interactive web application was developed to support clinical implementation.

Drop-on-demand inkjet printing has shown great potential for wearable health monitoring applications because of its ability to directly pattern on flexible substrates that can conform to curved surfaces such as the skin. Surface biopotential measurements such as electrocardiography is one such example requiring conductive electrodes that can be attached to skin to record the electrical activity of the heart, otherwise known as an electrocardiogram (ECG). Typical pre-gelled, silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes; also known as "wet electrodes", are known to cause skin irritations with performance degradation over time, and therefore remain largely non-ideal especially in long-term, mobile heath monitoring scenarios. This paper reports, for the first time, the development of a single, fully inkjet-printed graphene-on-plastic monolithic wearable armband, whose performance was benchmarked against commercial Ag/AgCl electrodes during a 1-hour-long ECG recording with five participants. The inkjet-printed graphene-on-plastic armband displayed excellent ECG reception with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of up to 4.2 dB higher than that of commercial electrodes.
