Abstract:
Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune disease followed by exocrine gland dysfunction. In this work, a web application was developed as a screening test based on a machine learning model that was trained on clinical data and is used to predict lymphoma outcomes in pSS patient. The results of the final model reveal a sensitivity of 100%, accuracy of 82%, and area under the curve of 98% and confirms the importance of C4 value, lymphadenopathy, and rheumatoid factor as prominent lymphoma predictors.
