A significant factor influencing the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is tumor metastasis. Studies have shown that abnormal DNA methylation in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is associated with tumour metastasis. Based on the genes expressed in CTCs that play an important role in DNA methylation, we hope to build a risk model to predict prognosis and provide a therapeutic strategy in LUAD. The CTC sequencing data for LUAD were obtained from GSE74639, which contains 10 CTC samples and 6 primary tumour samples. To carefully assess the clinical value, functional status, involvement of the tumor microenvironment (TME) based on the risk model, and genetic variants based on based on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), a reliable risk model was successfully built. Three differentially methylated genes (DMGs) of CTCs for LUAD, including mitochondrial ribosomal protein L51 (MRPL51), STE20-like kinase (SLK), and protein regulator of cytokinesis 1(PRC1), were effectively used to construct a risk model. Both the training and validation cohorts' stability and accuracy of the risk model were evaluated. Each patient in the TCGA-LUAD cohort received a risk score, and based on the median score, they were divided into high- and low-risk groups. The tumors in the high-risk group in this study were classified as "cold" and immunosuppressed, which may be linked to a poor prognosis. The tumors in the low-risk group, however, were deemed "hot" and had immune hyperfunction linked to a positive prognosis. Additionally, patients in the low-risk group showed greater sensitivity to immunotherapy than those in the high-risk group. Based on DMGs of CTCs from LUAD, we successfully developed a predictive risk model and discovered differences in biological function, TME, genetic variation, and clinical outcomes between those at high and low risk group.

Background: Recent research has revealed the potential value of machine learning (ML) models in improving prognostic prediction for patients with trauma. ML can enhance predictions and identify which factors contribute the most to posttraumatic mortality. However, no studies have explored the risk factors, complications, and risk prediction of preoperative and postoperative traumatic coagulopathy (PPTIC) in patients with trauma.

Importance: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often undiagnosed. Although genetic risk plays a significant role in COPD susceptibility, its utility in guiding spirometry testing and identifying undiagnosed cases is unclear.
Objective: To determine whether a COPD polygenic risk score (PRS) enhances the identification of undiagnosed COPD beyond a case-finding questionnaire (eg, the Lung Function Questionnaire) using conventional risk factors and respiratory symptoms.
