Predicting depression risk in COPD patients: a model based on NHANES 2007–2012 data | BMC Public Health

by

To date, no studies have established a depression risk prediction model specifically for COPD patients. In this study, we analyzed data from the NHANES 2007–2012 cohort and found that the unweighted prevalence of depression in the COPD population was 63.55%. We then identified eight independent risk predictors for depression: age, gender, marital status, PIR, BMI, … Read more

Construction and validation of a prediction model for short-term mortality risk in elderly patients with sepsis: a retrospective study | BMC Infectious Diseases

by

The targeted population of this study was patients with sepsis aged ≥ 65 years. The patients were divided into the survival group and the death group based on their short-term (< 30 days) outcomes at discharge. Patients in the death group exhibited lower levels of ALB, PCT, WBC, NEUT count, high-sensitivity CRP, ALT, and vitamin C positivity rates … Read more

Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting cognitive frailty in patients on cancer | BMC Geriatrics

by

Elevated cognitive frailty risk in older cancer patients The study found that 26.7% of older cancer patients had cognitive frailty, which is higher than Ho MH et al. [7] (8.2%). Examining the underlying causes, cancer patients are susceptible to frailty due to the intricate effects of the cancer and the extensive treatments involved, including surgery and … Read more

Breast MRI Quantification of Intra-Tumoral Heterogeneity May Help Predict Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

by

A nomogram that combines breast MRI-derived intra-tumoral heterogeneity (ITH) quantification with clinicopathologic factors may offer significant prognostic benefit in assessing neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in patients with breast cancer. In a new multicenter retrospective study, recently published in Radiology, researchers trained and evaluated the capability of the nomogram to predict pathologic complete response (pCR) in a … Read more

Intensive care unit-based mortality risk model construction for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome patients: a retrospective study | BMC Infectious Diseases

by

The investigation revealed a 51.83% mortality rate among severe SFTS patients in the ICU. GCS score, log10(virus loads), lactic acid, and CYS-C were identified as IRFs for 28-day mortality in this cohort. A nomogram, developed using these risk factors, improved prognostic accuracy for severe SFTS patients and may offer valuable clinical application. The pathogenesis of … Read more
