Published: June 2024

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of linear regression models, focusing on addressing multicollinearity challenges in breast cancer patient data. Linear regression methodologies, including GAM, Beta, GAM Beta, Ridge, and Beta Ridge, are compared using two statistical criteria. The study, conducted with R software, showcases the Beta regression model's exceptional performance, achieving a BIC of - 5520.416. Furthermore, the Ridge regression model demonstrates remarkable results with the best AIC at - 8002.647. The findings underscore the practical application of these models in real-world scenarios and emphasize the Beta regression model's superior ability to handle multicollinearity challenges. The preference for AIC over BIC in Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) is rooted in the AIC's calculation framework, highlighting its effectiveness in capturing the complexity and flexibility inherent in GAMs.

Background: Adolescent diabetes is one of the major public health problems worldwide. This study aims to estimate the burden of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adolescents from 1990 to 2021, and to predict diabetes prevalence through 2030.

Methods: We extracted epidemiologic data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) on T1DM and T2DM among adolescents aged 10-24 years in 204 countries and territories worldwide.

Background: Many studies have found more severe COVID-19 outcomes in migrants and ethnic minorities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, while recent evidence also suggests higher risk of longer-term consequences. We studied the risk of a long COVID diagnosis among adult residents in Sweden, dependent on country of birth and accounting for known risk factors for long COVID.

Methods: We used linked Swedish administrative registers between March 1, 2020 and April 1, 2023, to estimate the risk of a long COVID diagnosis in the adult population that had a confirmed COVID-19 infection.

Background: This study compared the ventilatory variables and computed tomography (CT) features of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) versus those of patients with pulmonary non-COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during the early phase of ARDS.

Methods: This prospective, observational cohort study of ARDS patients in Taiwan was performed between February 2017 and June 2018 as well as between October 2020 and January 2024. Analysis was performed on clinical characteristics, including consecutive ventilatory variables during the first week after ARDS diagnosis.

Background: The metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF) is a recently identified index for evaluating visceral fat, also referred to as abdominal obesity. The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) serves as a critical measure for assessing muscle mass and sarcopenia. Both obesity and the reduction of muscle mass can significantly affect human health.
