Establishment of a nomogram for personalized prediction model of heart valve calcification in elderly patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis by Li Xiao-mei

“…Objective To establish a nomogram of effectively predicting the occurrence of cardiac valve calcification（CVC）in elderly patients with chronic renal failure（CRF）on hemodialysis.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed for clinical data of elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis from December 2015 to December 2018,using single factor and Logistic regression for analyzing the independent risk factors of CVC and establishing the correlation Nomogram prediction model.Results Dialysis age ≥24 months（OR=7.488,95%CI 2.524～22.215）,diabetes mellitus（OR=6.256,95%CI 2.624～14.919）,pAlb <200 mg/L（OR=5.623,95%CI 1.965～16.091）,calcium & phosphorus product ≥ 55 mg²/dL²（OR=3.954,95%CI 1.679～9.311）,iPTH ≥100 ng/L（OR=6.883,95%CI 2.478～19.118）and C-reactive protein（CRP）≥5 mg/L（OR=3.422,95%CI 1.424～8.221）were independent risk factors for CVC in elderly CRF hemodialysis patients（P<0.05）.Based upon the above six independent risk factors, a nomogram model indicated that the predicted value was basically consistent with the actual value and C-index index was 0.878（95%CI 0.852～0.904）,indicating that this nomogram model had an excellent predictive capability.Conclusions Dialysis age ≥24 months, diabetes mellitus, pAlb <200 mg/L,calcium & phosphorus product ≥55 mg²/dL²,iPTH ≥100 ng/L and CRP ≥5 mg/L are independent risk factors for CVC in elderly CRF hemodialysis patients.The nomogram model can effectively predict the probability of CVC in elderly CRF hemodialysis patients.…”

Grain Yield Prediction Based on the Improved Unbiased Grey Markov Model by Wu Yuan, Zhou Rui, Yu Bao, Huang Xiang, Li Bo

“…This paper proposes to replace the method of taking the median of the first and last transitions in the unbiased Markov chain with the average for the calculation of state division and to correct the residual values of the prediction results by using the improved unbiased grey Markov model, in order to improve the accuracy of the predicted value of grain yield. Simulation experiments were conducted to compare the grey GM (1, 1) model, the unbiased grey GM (1, 1) model, the unbiased grey Markov model and the improved unbiased grey Markov model. …”
