Introduction: Lyme borreliosis (LB) is a multisystemic zoonotic disease transmitted by the bite of infected tick vectors.The aim of the study is to develop a mathematical model for predicting the risk of severity of Lyme disease by the risk factor of the disseminated form of LB in children who have had a tick attack. To test the effectiveness of the formula for predicting the development of the disseminated stage of LB, we built a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and determined the specificity and sensitivity of our model.

Objective: The aim: To create a mathematical model for predicting the level of heat sensitivity in healthy young people based on multivariate regression analysis.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 150 healthy young people aged 17-20 years answered the questionnaire "Levels of heat sensitivity", underwent a heat test and mathematical analysis of the heart rate, after which the results were used to build a regression model of heat sensitivity.

Results: Results: The model of mathematical prediction of heat sensitivity (CHSL1/CHSL2), which we proposed for the first time, takes into account the most significant factors that influence the determination of higher and lower sensitivity to heat (Q1-Q6, %LF2, %HF1, %HF2, HR1, HR2), so its use will allow timely identi¬fication of individuals who are particularly susceptible to the effects of elevated ambient temperature and prevent the development of potential negative consequences of this exposure.
