[Retracted] A Prediction Model for Cognitive Impairment Risk in Colorectal Cancer after Chemotherapy Treatment

Abstract

Background. A prediction model can be developed to predict the risk of cancer-related cognitive impairment in colorectal cancer patients after chemotherapy. Methods. A regression analysis was performed on 386 colorectal cancer patients who had undergone chemotherapy. Three prediction models (random forest, logistic regression, and support vector machine models) were constructed using collected clinical and pathological data of the patients. Calibration and ROC curves and C -indexes were used to evaluate the selected models. A decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to determine the clinical utility of the line graph. Results. Three prediction models including a random forest, a logistic regression, and a support vector machine were constructed. The logistic regression model had the strongest predictive power with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.799. Age, BMI, colostomy, complications, CRA, depression, diabetes, QLQ-C30 score, exercise, hypercholesterolemia, diet, marital status, education level, and pathological stage were included in the nomogram. The C -index (0.826) and calibration curve showed that the nomogram had good predictive ability and the DCA curves indicated that the model had strong clinical utility. Conclusions. A prediction model with good predictive ability and practical clinical value can be developed for predicting the risk of cognitive impairment in colorectal cancer after chemotherapy.

Preoperative Serum Calcitonin Level and Ultrasonographic Characteristics Predict the Risk of Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: Functional Analysis of Calcitonin-Related Genes

“…Consistent with the results of earlier studies, least absolute shrinkage and selection operators (LASSO) and Cox regression were used for screening variables. Logistic regression 3 Disease Markers analysis was used to screen for LN metastasis-related ultrasonographic features and to construct a nomogram model [16][17][18]. The model was evaluated by plotting the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.…”

‘Food for Thought’—The Relationship between Diet and Cognition in Breast and Colorectal Cancer Survivors: A Feasibility Study

“…This effect was more pronounced in survivors who had received chemotherapy [ 49 ]. In colorectal cancer survivors, BMI has not been found to significantly predict cognitive dysfunction [ 50 ]. While descriptive data for BMI are often reported as an important clinical detail, it is less commonly explored as a predictor of CRCI, highlighting that further exploration of this relationships is needed to clarify the role of body composition on survivorship cognitive outcomes.…”

“…Based on the neural network prediction model, we constructed a new logistic regression-based AD risk prediction model in order to provide a visual basis for the formulation of exercise prescription. Factors with p -values < 0.05 were further screened and used to construct a column line graph prediction model, as described previously ( Chen et al, 2020 ; Ying et al, 2021 ; Zhou et al, 2021 ). The GSE44770 dataset was used as an external dataset to validate the findings.…”
