Evaluating the potential of phenotypic age to enhance cardiovascular risk prediction over chronological age in the UK Biobank by Kristine J. S. Kwan, Shi-Shuai Xie, Hai-Lei Li, Xue-Guang Lin, Yi-Jie Lu, Bo Chen, Kai-Xin Ge, Shu-Ya Tang, Hui Zhang, Shuai Jiang, Jing-Dong Tang

“…We applied a Cox regression model with time-dependent variables to assess the association between PhenoAgeAccel and incident CVD. The predictive value of PhenoAge and PhenoAgeAccel was evaluated with reference to the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) model using Kaplan-Meier curves, receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC), and Harrel’s C-index. …”

Risk factors of adverse outcome of COVID-19 and experience of Tocilizumab administration in patients on maintenance hemodialysis due to diabetic kidney disease by E. M. Zeltyn-Abramov, M. A. Lysenko, N. F. Frolova, T. N. Markova, N. I. Belavina, N. N. Klochkova, S. V. Kondrashkina, R. T. Iskhakov, A. I. Ushakova

“…For risk identification of upcoming lethal outcome a predictive model was created with the use of discovered RF as variables. The predictive value of this model is 92,45% (positive prognostic value — 96,5%, negative prognostic value — 87,5%).In TCZ treated subgroup the laboratory markers of adverse outcome were detected with application of correlation analysis. …”
