The year 2023 marked a significant change for Internal Medicine, as the number of submissions related to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) declined significantly and interest shifted to other disease fields and research areas. Our journal published its first articles on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and these articles have shown that AI may be useful for the early detection of potential cardiac diseases, while ML can be used to predict the risk of serious illness in patients hospitalized with COVID-19, providing new possibilities for diagnoses and treatment. In addition to touching on the above, the present article also highlights the status of submissions to the journal (including the number of submissions and acceptance rate) in 2023.
2023 年，内科领域发生了重大变化，与新型冠状病毒感染（COVID-19）相关的投稿数量显著下降，人们的兴趣转向了其他疾病领域和研究领域。本刊发表了第一批关于人工智能（AI）和机器学习（ML）的文章，这些文章表明 AI 可能有助于早期发现潜在的心脏疾病，而 ML 可用于预测 COVID-19 住院患者发生重病的风险，为诊断和治疗提供了新的可能性。除了上述内容外，本文还重点介绍了 2023 年本刊投稿的情况（包括投稿数量和接受率）。
