Background: The in-hospital mortality of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) increases to more than 50% following a cardiogenic shock (CS) event. This study highlights the need to consider the risk of delayed calculation in developing in-hospital CS risk models. This report compared the performances of multiple machine learning models and established a late-CS risk nomogram for STEMI patients. Methods: This study used logistic regression (LR) models, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), support vector regression (SVM), and tree-based ensemble machine learning models [light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)] to predict CS risk in STEMI patients. The models were developed based on 1,598 and 684 STEMI patients in the training and test datasets, respectively. The models were compared based on accuracy, the area under the curve (AUC), recall, precision, and Gini score, and the optimal model was used to develop a late CS risk nomogram. Discrimination, calibration, and the clinical usefulness of the predictive model were assessed using C-index, calibration plotd, and decision curve analyses.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. Early diagnosis has great significance for the survival of patients with lung cancer. In this paper, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was used to study the serum samples from patients with lung cancer and healthy people. The results of spectral band area comparison showed that the concentrations of protein, lipid and nucleic acids molecules in serum of patients with lung cancer were increased compared with those in healthy people. The original spectra were preprocessed to improve the accuracy of principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models. PLS-DA results for first derivative spectral data in nucleic acids (1250-1000cm-1) band showed 80% sensitivity, 91.89% specificity and 87.10% accuracy with high Rc2 of 0.8949 and Rv2 of 0.8153, low RMSEC of 0.3136 and RMSEV of 0.4180. It is shown that ATR-FTIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics might be developed as a simple method for clinical screening and diagnosis of lung cancer.
Accurate risk assessment of high-risk patients is essential in clinical practice. However, there is no practical method to predict or monitor the prognosis of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by hyperuricemia. We aimed to evaluate the performance of different machine learning models for the prediction of 1-year mortality in STEMI patients with hyperuricemia. We compared five machine learning models (logistic regression,
k
-nearest neighbor, CatBoost, random forest, and XGBoost) with the traditional global (GRACE) risk score for acute coronary event registrations. We registered patients aged >18 years diagnosed with STEMI and hyperuricemia at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University between January 2016 and January 2020. Overall, 656 patients were enrolled (average age,

years
; 83.6%, male). All patients underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention. We evaluated the performance of five machine learning classifiers and the GRACE risk model in predicting 1-year mortality. The area under the curve (AUC) of the six models, including the GRACE risk model, ranged from 0.75 to 0.88. Among all the models, CatBoost had the highest predictive accuracy (0.89), AUC (0.87), precision (0.84), and F1 value (0.44). After hybrid sampling technique optimization, CatBoost had the highest accuracy (0.96), AUC (0.99), precision (0.95), and F1 value (0.97). Machine learning algorithms, especially the CatBoost model, can accurately predict the mortality associated with STEMI complicated by hyperuricemia after a 1-year follow-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
