Summary
This study developed a nomogram using machine learning to predict recurrence in cystitis glandularis, identifying key factors like urinary infections and blood cell counts for better patient management.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Inflammatory Diseases
- Medical Informatics
Background:
- Cystitis glandularis is a chronic urinary system inflammatory disease with high recurrence rates.
- The underlying causes of cystitis glandularis recurrence remain largely unknown.
- Understanding recurrence factors is crucial for effective patient management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify predictors of cystitis glandularis recurrence.
- To develop a prognostic nomogram for predicting recurrence.
- To establish a simple and feasible model for clinical application.
Main Methods:
- Machine learning techniques were employed to identify key predictors of recurrence.
- A nomogram was constructed using identified predictors.
- Model performance was validated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, decision curve analysis, and calibration curves.
Main Results:
- The study included 252 patients with a 12-month recurrence rate of 57.14%.
- Five predictors for recurrence were identified: urinary infections, urinary calculi, eosinophil count, lymphocyte count, and serum magnesium.
- The developed nomogram demonstrated good predictive performance with AUC values exceeding 0.75.
Conclusions:
- A reliable machine learning-based nomogram for predicting cystitis glandularis recurrence has been developed.
- This nomogram can aid in identifying patients at high risk for recurrence.
- The model offers a feasible tool for clinical prognostication and management strategies.
