- Vitamin D deficiency is common among patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in southern Bangladesh, and the study examines various factors influencing this deficiency, such as limited sun exposure and certain medical conditions.
- The research assesses the relationship between vitamin D levels and SLE disease activity using clinical data from 50 patients, employing statistical tests, data visualization, and machine learning methods like Linear Regression and Random Forest.
- Results indicate that both models identify hemoglobin (Hb), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and age as key factors affecting vitamin D levels, with the Random Forest model performing better in terms of predictive accuracy.
