Article Abstract
Modern statistical methods using incomplete data have been increasingly applied in a wide variety of substantive problems. Similarly, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, a method used in evaluating diagnostic tests or biomarkers in medical research, has also been increasingly popular problem in both its development and application. While missing-data methods have been applied in ROC analysis, the impact of model mis-specification and/or assumptions (e.g. missing at random) underlying the missing data has not been thoroughly studied. In this work, we study the performance of multiple imputation (MI) inference in ROC analysis. Particularly, we investigate parametric and non-parametric techniques for MI inference under common missingness mechanisms. Depending on the coherency of the imputation model with the underlying data generation mechanism, our results show that MI generally leads to well-calibrated inferences under ignorable missingness mechanisms.

Factors related to sedentary behavior in older adult stroke patients in China: a study based on decision tree and logistic regression model.
Front Public Health
December 2024
Department of Nursing, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China.
Objective: This study investigates the factors influencing sedentary behavior in older adult Chinese stroke patients using decision trees and logistic regression models.
Methods: Convenience sampling method was employed to enroll 346 respondents aged ≥60 years with stroke from the Department of Neurology of three tertiary-level A hospitals in Heilongjiang province, based on the inclusion criteria. The Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire for Older Adults, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-S), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and the Social Support Scale (SSRS) were used to assess sedentary behavior, physical activity level, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and social support, respectively.
A Synergistic Effect of Remnant Cholesterol and C-Reactive Protein on Predicting the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease.
J Inflamm Res
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, College of Medicine, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu Cardiovascular Disease Research Institute, The Third People's Hospital of Chengdu, Chengdu, Sichuan, People's Republic of China.
Background: Increased levels of remnant cholesterol (RC) and inflammation are linked to higher risks of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Whether a combination of C-reactive protein (CRP) and RC improves the predictive ability for evaluating the severity of coronary artery lesions remains unknown.
Methods: A total of 1675 patients with coronary artery disease were stratified according to the Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (SYNTAX) score (SYNTAX score ≤22 versus SYNTAX score >22).
Diagnostic Value of RDW-Albumin Ratio for the Prediction of Mortality in Sepsis Associated Nonthyroidal Illness Syndrome Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
J Inflamm Res
December 2024
The Department of Emergency, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.
Background: The correlation between RAR is linked to negative outcomes in sepsis, but it remains uncertain if RAR is connected to prognosis in patients with sepsis-related NTIS. So we investigated it in this study.
Methods: Patients with sepsis-associated NTIS admitted to Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, between March 2013 and April 2017 were included in the study.
Predictors of breakthrough invasive fungal infections (BIFI) in pediatric acute leukemia: a retrospective analysis and predictive model development.
Front Med (Lausanne)
December 2024
Department of Hematology and Oncology, Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital (Anhui Hospital, Pediatric Hospital of Fudan University), Hefei, China.
Objective: This study aims to identify key risk factors associated with the development of breakthrough invasive fungal infections (BIFI) in pediatric acute leukemia patients to improve early detection and intervention strategies.
Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 160 pediatric patients with acute leukemia admitted to Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital between October 2018 and June 2022. The study evaluated the impact of various clinical parameters on BIFI risk using univariate and multivariable analyses, with data including patient demographics, treatment regimens, and infection outcomes.
An analysis of different modalities of bone mineral densitometry evaluation in cage subsidence in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
Front Surg
December 2024
Department of Spinal Surgery, The Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, China.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of different measurement methods on bone miner density (BMD), including cervical HU of CT, MRI-based cervical vertebral bone quality (C-VBQ), and value of DEXA, for predicting cage subsidence after single-level ACDF.
Methods: This is a retrospective study, and patients who underwent single-level ACDF from June 2019 to June 2022 were recruited. We collected preoperative total segmental vertebral height (pre-TSVH), cage subsidence height, cervical angle (CA), T1-slope, straight or reverse cervical curvature, mean HU value of C3-7 (C-HU), mean HU of segment (seg-HU), C-VBQ, segmental C-VBQ (seg-VBQ), and total lumbar value ( value).
