Development of a simple prediction model for adrenal crisis diagnosis.

ABSTRACT: To develop a prediction model for adrenal crisis (AC) diagnosis among individuals with adrenal insufficiency that relies on the values of routinely measured clinical parameters, for application in standard clinical practice. We retrospectively analysed data from five referral centres in Japan. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of AC, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine their optimal cut-off points. The analysis included data from 54 patients with 90 AC events. Logistic regression revealed that serum sodium and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were independent predictors of AC. Serum sodium levels??1.3 mg/dL had a sensitivity of 84.4% and specificity of 94.9%. In combination, serum sodium levels??1.3 mg/dL for AC diagnosis had sensitivity and specificity values of 97.8% and 94.4%, respectively. The combined use of serum sodium and CRP levels had high sensitivity and specificity, and can be used for AC screening in standard clinical practice. The model can assist in identifying AC among high-risk individuals. A larger prospective study is needed to validate these results.

Project description:Background and objectivesPathogenic variants in the neuronal sodium channel α1 subunit gene (SCN1A) are the most frequent monogenic cause of epilepsy. Phenotypes comprise a wide clinical spectrum, including severe childhood epilepsy; Dravet syndrome, characterized by drug-resistant seizures, intellectual disability, and high mortality; and the milder genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+), characterized by normal cognition. Early recognition of a child's risk for developing Dravet syndrome vs GEFS+ is key for implementing disease-modifying therapies when available before cognitive impairment emerges. Our objective was to develop and validate a prediction model using clinical and genetic biomarkers for early diagnosis of SCN1A-related epilepsies.MethodsWe performed a retrospective multicenter cohort study comprising data from patients with SCN1A-positive Dravet syndrome and patients with GEFS+ consecutively referred for genetic testing (March 2001-June 2020) including age at seizure onset and a newly developed SCN1A genetic score. A training cohort was used to develop multiple prediction models that were validated using 2 independent blinded cohorts. Primary outcome was the discriminative accuracy of the model predicting Dravet syndrome vs other GEFS+ phenotypes.ResultsA total of 1,018 participants were included. The frequency of Dravet syndrome was 616/743 (83%) in the training cohort, 147/203 (72%) in validation cohort 1, and 60/72 (83%) in validation cohort 2. A high SCN1A genetic score (133.4 [SD 78.5] vs 52.0 [SD 57.5]; p < 0.001) and young age at onset (6.0 [SD 3.0] vs 14.8 [SD 11.8] months; p < 0.001) were each associated with Dravet syndrome vs GEFS+. A combined SCN1A genetic score and seizure onset model separated Dravet syndrome from GEFS+ more effectively (area under the curve [AUC] 0.89 [95% CI 0.86-0.92]) and outperformed all other models (AUC 0.79-0.85; p < 0.001). Model performance was replicated in both validation cohorts 1 (AUC 0.94 [95% CI 0.91-0.97]) and 2 (AUC 0.92 [95% CI 0.82-1.00]).DiscussionThe prediction model allows objective estimation at disease onset whether a child will develop Dravet syndrome vs GEFS+, assisting clinicians with prognostic counseling and decisions on early institution of precision therapies (http://scn1a-prediction-model.broadinstitute.org/).Classification of evidenceThis study provides Class II evidence that a combined SCN1A genetic score and seizure onset model distinguishes Dravet syndrome from other GEFS+ phenotypes.

Project description:PurposeThis study aims to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of bloodstream infections (BSI) in critically ill patients based on their admission status to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).Patients and methodsPatients' data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database (training set), the Beijing Friendship Hospital (BFH) database (validation set) and the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD) (validation set). Univariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the influencing factors, and lasso regression was used to select the predictive factors. Model performance was assessed using area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and Presented as a Nomogram. Various aspects of the established predictive nomogram were evaluated, including discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility.ResultsThe model dataset consisted of 14930 patients (1444 BSI patients) from the MIMIC-IV database, divided into the training and internal validation datasets in a 7:3 ratio. The eICU dataset included 2100 patients (100 with BSI) as the eICU validation dataset, and the BFH dataset included 419 patients (21 with BSI) as the BFH validation dataset. The nomogram was constructed based on Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), sepsis related organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, white blood cell (WBC), red width of distribution (RDW), renal replacement therapy and presence of liver disease on their admission status to the ICU. The AUROCs were 0.83 (CI 95%:0.81-0.84) in the training dataset, 0.88 (CI 95%:0.88-0.96) in the BFH validation dataset, and 0.75 (95%CI 0.70-0.79) in the eICU validation dataset. The clinical effect curve and decision curve showed that most areas of the decision curve of this model were greater than 0, indicating that this model has a certain clinical effectiveness.ConclusionThe nomogram developed in this study provides a valuable tool for clinicians and nurses to assess individual risk, enabling them to identify patients at a high risk of bloodstream infections in the ICU.
