Deciphering prognostic indicators in non-HIV cryptococcal meningitis: Constructing and validating a predictive Nomogram model.

Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is a well-recognized fungal infection, with substantial mortality in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes in non-HIV adults remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the characteristics and prognostic indicators of CM in non-HIV adult patients, integrating a novel predictive model to guide clinical decision-making.

Constructing and Validating a Nomogram Model for Short-Term Prognosis of Patients with AChR-Ab+ GMG.

Objective: This study aimed to establish and validate a nomogram prognostic model for predicting short-term efficacy of acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive (AChR-Ab+) generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG).

Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, enrolling patients diagnosed with AChR-Ab+ GMG from May 2020 to September 2022. The primary outcome was the change in the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) post-intervention status after 6 months of standard treatment.
