文摘BACKGROUND Research has shown that several factors can influence postoperative abnormal liver function;however,most studies on this issue have focused specifically on hepatic and cardiac surgeries,leaving limited research on contributing factors in other types of surgeries.AIM To identify the risk factors for early postoperative abnormal liver function in multiple surgery types and construct a risk prediction model.METHODS This retrospective cohort study involved 3720 surgical patients from 5 surgical departments at Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Patients were divided into abnormal(n=108)and normal(n=3612)groups based on liver function post-surgery.Univariate analysis and LASSO regression screened variables,followed by logistic regression to identify risk factors.A prediction model was constructed based on the variables selected via logistic re-gression.The goodness-of-fit of the model was evaluated using the Hosm-er–Lemeshow test,while discriminatory ability was measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.Calibration curves were plotted to visualize the consistency between predicted probabilities and observed outcomes.RESULTS The key factors contributing to abnormal liver function after surgery include elevated aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels and reduced platelet counts pre-surgery,as well as the sevoflurane use during the procedure,among others.CONCLUSION The above factors collectively represent notable risk factors for postoperative liver function injury,and the prediction model developed based on these factors demonstrates strong predictive efficacy.
文摘BACKGROUND As a minimally invasive technique,endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)is widely used in treating early colorectal cancer(ECRC)and precancerous lesions(PCLs).However,a common postoperative complication-delayed postoperative bleeding(DPOB)-can significantly hinder patient recovery.AIM To build and validate a predictive model for assessing post-ESD DPOB risk in ECRC and PCL patients,utilizing logistic regression methodology.METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on ECRC/PCL 302 patients who received ESD at our hospital between July 2021 and July 2024.The cohort was stratified based on the incidence of DPOB following ESD,forming DPOB and non-DPOB groups.Through allocation,they were further allocated into model and validation cohorts.Clinical variables from both cohorts were collated and subjected to univariate analysis to determine potential factors associated with post-ESD DPOB.Subsequently,we constructed a predictive model for DPOB risk employing logistic regression analysis.Model performance assessment used receiver operating characteristic curves in both the training and validation cohorts,with internal validation accomplished via 10-fold cross-validation.RESULTS The occurrence rate of DPOB was 9.93%.Univariate analysis revealed that the number of lesions,lesion size,lesion location,degree of submucosal fibrosis,and intraoperative bleeding were significantly associated with DPOB.Binary logistic regression analysis identified the number of lesions,lesion size,lesion location,and degree of submucosal fibrosis as independent DPOB determinants.A nomogram that was developed to quantify the DPOB risk exhibited that an increment in the total score corresponded to an increased risk.The model achieved area under the curve values of 0.831 and 0.821 in the model and validation groups,respectively,with P values of 0.853 and 0.203 in the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.The model demonstrated robust discriminative performance,with an average area under the curve of 0.795(95%confidence interval:0.702-0.887)in 10-fold cross-validation.CONCLUSION Collectively,the presence of multiple lesions,lesion size of≥3 cm,lesion localization in the rectum,and severe fibrosis are significant independent predictors of DPOB in patients undergoing surgery for ECRC or PCLs.The proposed risk prediction model,which integrates these factors,demonstrates excellent predictive accuracy and clinical utility,thereby providing a valuable tool for risk stratification and postoperative management in this patient population.

文摘Energy storage batteries can smooth the volatility of renewable energy sources.The operating conditions during power grid integration of renewable energy can affect the performance and failure risk of battery energy storage system(BESS).However,the current modeling of grid-connected BESS is overly simplistic,typically only considering state of charge(SOC)and power constraints.Detailed lithium(Li)-ion battery cell models are computationally intensive and impractical for real-time applications and may not be suitable for power grid operating conditions.Additionally,there is a lack of real-time batteries risk assessment frameworks.To address these issues,in this study,we establish a thermal-electric-performance(TEP)coupling model based on a multitime scale BESS model,incorporating the electrical and thermal characteristics of Li-ion batteries along with their performance degradation to achieve detailed simulation of grid-connected BESS.Additionally,considering the operating characteristics of energy storage batteries and electrical and thermal abuse factors,we developed a battery pack operational riskmodel,which takes into account SOCand charge-discharge rate(Cr),using amodified failure rate to represent the BESS risk.By integrating detailed simulation of energy storage with predictive failure risk analysis,we obtained a detailed model for BESS risk analysis.This model offers a multi-time scale integrated simulation that spans month-level energy storage simulation times,day-level performance degradation,minutescale failure rate,and second-level BESS characteristics.It offers a critical tool for the study of BESS.Finally,the performance and risk of energy storage batteries under three scenarios—microgrid energy storage,wind power smoothing,and power grid failure response—are simulated,achieving a real-time state-dependent operational risk analysis of the BESS.

文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),which is essentially primary liver cancer,is closely related to CD8^(+)T cell immune infiltration and immune suppression.We constructed a CD8^(+)T cells related risk score model to predict the prognosis of HCC patients and provided therapeutic guidance based on the risk score.Using integrated bulk RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)and single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)datasets,we identified stable CD8^(+)T cell signatures.Based on these signatures,a 3-gene risk score model,comprised of KLRB1,RGS 2,and TNFRSF1B was constructed.The risk score model was well validated through an independent external validation cohort.We divided patients into high-risk and low-risk groups according to the risk score and compared the differences in immune microenvironment between these two groups.Compared with low-risk patients,high-risk patients have higher M2-type macrophage content(P<0.0001)and lower CD8^(+)T cells infiltration(P<0.0001).High-risk patients predict worse response to immunotherapy treatment than low-risk patients(P<0.01).Drug sensitivity analysis shows that PI3K-β inhibitor AZD6482 and TGFβRII inhibitor SB505124 may be suitable therapies for high-risk patients,while the IGF-1R inhibitor BMS-754807 or the novel pyrimidine-based anti-tumor metabolic drug Gemcitabine could be potential therapeutic choices for low-risk patients.Moreover,expression of these 3-gene model was verified by immunohistochemistry.In summary,the establishment and validation of a CD8^(+)T cell-derived risk model can more accurately predict the prognosis of HCC patients and guide the construction of personalized treatment plans.

文摘BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer(CRC)is one of the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumors worldwide.Currently,surgical intervention was the primary treatment modality for CRC.However,increasing studies have revealed that CRC patients may experience postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD).AIM To establish a risk prediction model for POCD in CRC patients and investigate the preventive value of dexmedetomidine(DEX).METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 140 CRC patients who underwent surgery at the People’s Hospital of Qian Nan from February 2020 to May 2024.Patients were allocated into a modeling group(n=98)and a validation group(n=42)in a 7:3 ratio.General clinical data were collected.Additionally,in the modeling group,patients who received DEX preoperatively were incorporated into the observation group(n=54),while those who did not were placed in the control group(n=44).The incidence of POCD was recorded for both cohorts.Data analysis was performed using statistical product and service solutions 20.0,with t-tests orχ^(2) tests employed for group comparisons based on the data type.Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression was applied to identify influencing factors and reduce the impact of multicollinear predictors among variables.Multivariate analysis was carried out using Logistic regression.Based on the identified risk factors,a risk prediction model for POCD in CRC patients was developed,and the predictive value of these risk factors was evaluated.RESULTS Significant differences were observed between the cognitive dysfunction group and the non-cognitive dysfunction group in diabetes status,alcohol consumption,years of education,anesthesia duration,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative hypoxemia,use of DEX during surgery,intraoperative use of vasoactive drugs,surgical time,systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS)score(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis identified that diabetes[odds ratio(OR)=4.679,95%confidence interval(CI)=1.382-15.833],alcohol consumption(OR=5.058,95%CI:1.255-20.380),intraoperative hypoxemia(OR=4.697,95%CI:1.380-15.991),no use of DEX during surgery(OR=3.931,95%CI:1.383-11.175),surgery duration≥90 minutes(OR=4.894,95%CI:1.377-17.394),and a SIRS score≥3(OR=4.133,95%CI:1.323-12.907)were independent risk factors for POCD in CRC patients(P<0.05).A risk prediction model for POCD was constructed using diabetes,alcohol consumption,intraoperative hypoxemia,non-use of DEX during surgery,surgery duration,and SIRS score as factors.A receiver operator characteristic curve analysis of these factors revealed the model’s predictive sensitivity(88.56%),specificity(70.64%),and area under the curve(AUC)(AUC=0.852,95%CI:0.773-0.919).The model was validated using 42 CRC patients who met the inclusion criteria,demonstrating sensitivity(80.77%),specificity(81.25%),and accuracy(80.95%),and AUC(0.805)in diagnosing cognitive impairment,with a 95%CI:0.635-0.896.CONCLUSION Logistic regression analysis identified that diabetes,alcohol consumption,intraoperative hypoxemia,non-use of DEX during surgery,surgery duration,and SIRS score vigorously influenced the occurrence of POCD.The risk prediction model based on these factors demonstrated good predictive performance for POCD in CRC individuals.This study offers valuable insights for clinical practice and contributes to the prevention and management of POCD under CRC circumstances.

文摘Snowmelt runoffis an important component of water resources in the Northwest China(NWC).With global cli-mate warming and the increasing frequency of extreme events,snowmelt floods have caused significant damage.However,current studies lack comprehensive research and systematic risk assessments of snowmelt floods across the NWC.Based on the snowmelt runoffsimulated by GLDAS-NOAH model(1948-2022),the multiple indicators of snowmelt floods were retrieved by Peaks Over Threshold(POT)model in the NWC,and comprehensive risk assessment was conducted by integrating socio-economic data.The results indicated that the snowmelt runoffin the NWC shows a significant increasing trend and exhibits a spatial pattern of being more abundant in the northwest and southwest edges while less in the central and eastern regions.In Northern Xinjiang,snowmelt floods occurred relatively infrequently but with large magnitudes,while around the Qilian Mountains,snowmelt floods were more frequent but of smaller magnitudes.The longest duration of snowmelt floods was observed in the Kashgar and Yarkant River.Basins near mountainous areas are prone to snowmelt floods,especially the Tongtian and Lancang River basins,as well as the Ebinur Lake,Ili River basin,and the rivers south of the Altai Mountains,which face the highest risk of snowmelt floods.Based on comprehensive assessment of hazard,expo-sure,vulnerability and adaptability,high and very high-risk areas account for 15.5%of the NWC.It is urgent to enhance monitoring,early warning systems,and implement corresponding disaster prevention and mitigation measures in large mountainous basins.

文摘BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease(CHD)is a prevalent type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)complication.Further,the risk stratification before angiography may help diagnose T2DM with CHD early.However,few studies have investigated the coronary imaging characteristics and risk factors of patients with T2DM complicated with CHD.AIM To compare the differences in coronary imaging between patients with T2DM with and without CHD,determine the risk factors of T2DM complicated with CHD,and establish a predictive tool for diagnosing CHD in T2DM.METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed 103 patients with T2DM from January 2022 to May 2024.They are categorized based on CHD occurrence into:(1)The control group,consisting of patients with T2DM without CHD;and(2)The observation group,which includes patients with T2MD with CHD.Age,sex,smoking and drinking history,CHD family history,metformin(MET)treatment pre-admission,body mass index,fasting blood glucose(FBG),triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen(BUN),alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),and coronary imaging data of both groups were collected from the medical record system.Logistic risk analysis was conducted to screen risk factors.The prediction model’s prediction efficiency was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic curves.RESULTS The control and observation groups consisted of 48 and 55 cases,respectively.The two groups were statistically different in terms of age(t=2.006,P=0.048),FBG(t=6.038,P=0.000),TG(t=2.015,P=0.047),LDL-C(t=2.017,P=0.046),and BUN(t=2.035,P=0.044).The observation group demonstrated lower proportions of patients receiving MET(χ^(2)=5.073,P=0.024)and higher proportions of patients with HbA1c of>7.0%(χ^(2)=6.980,P=0.008)than the control group.The observation group consisted of 15,17,and 23 cases of moderate stenosis,severe stenosis,and occlusion,respectively,with a greater number of coronary artery occlusion cases than the control group(χ^(2)=6.399,P=0.041).The observation group consisted significantly higher number of diffuse lesion cases at 35 compared with the control group(χ^(2)=15.420,P=0.000).The observation group demonstrated a higher right coronary artery(RCA)stenosis index(t=6.730,P=0.000),circumflex coronary artery(LCX)stenosis index(t=5.738,P=0.000),and total stenosis index(t=7.049,P=0.000)than the control group.FBG[odds ratio(OR)=1.472;95%confidence interval(CI):1.234-1.755;P=0.000]and HbA1c(OR=3.197;95%CI:1.149-8.896;P=0.026)were independent risk factors for T2DM complicated with CHD,whereas MET(OR=0.350;95%CI:0.129-0.952;P=0.040)was considered a protective factor for CHD in T2DM.CONCLUSION Coronary artery occlusion is a prevalent complication in patients with T2DM.Patients with T2MD with CHD demonstrated a higher degree of RCA and LCX stenosis than those with T2DM without CHD.FBG,HbA1c,and MET treatment history are risk factors for T2DM complicated with CHD.
文摘This article summarizes a joint research projec undertaken under the Risk Management Solutions, Inc(RMS) banner to investigate some of the possible approaches for agricultural risk modeling in China. Two modeling approaches were investigated—the simulated weather crop index and the burn yield analysis approach. The study was limited to Hunan Province and a single crop—rice. Both modeling approaches were dealt with probabilistically and were able to produce probabilistic risk metrics. Illustrative model outputs are also presented. The article discusses the robustness of the modeling approaches and their dependence on the availability, access to, and quality of weather and yield data. We offer our perspective on the requirements for models and platforms for agricultural risk quantification in China in order to respond to the needs of all stakeholders in agricultural risk transfer.
文摘Communicating risks and mitigation benefits associated with natural hazards such as wind to the general public is challenging given the location-dependency of parameters and the complexity of the problem.Web tools play a crucial role in educating residents,decision-makers,and stakeholders regarding potential wind hazard losses to,for example,residential buildings.However,a notable gap exists on the practical incorporation of mitigation actions within these tools.This gap hampers the collective awareness and understanding among stakeholders,communities,and citizens regarding the tangible advantages of mitigation strategies in reducing wind-related risks.Furthermore,there exists a need to elucidate the functionality and objectives of these tools in a more accessible manner.This study aims to present and outline the wind risk and mitigation calculator tool(WRMCT)within the Hazardaware platform,which is an address-based risk assessment tool.This tool,developed for 196 counties in the Gulf of Mexico coastal area,facilitates users’education of potential risks and benefits associated with mitigation strategies.WRMCT enables users to access location-specific wind risk and interactively suggests potential mitigation actions along with economic savings to support informed decisions and residential risk reduction.WRMCT intends to enhance users’ability to make informed decisions,take proactive measures in mitigating wind hazards,and contribute to the development of resilient,residential communities.

文摘Cyber-physical systems(CPSs)are becoming increasingly important in safety-critical systems.Particular risk analysis(PRA)is an essential step in the safety assessment process to guarantee the quality of a system in the early phase of system development.Human factors like the physical environment are the most important part of particular risk assessment.Therefore,it is necessary to analyze the safety of the system considering human factor and physical factor.In this paper,we propose a new particular risk model(PRM)to improve the modeling ability of the Architecture Analysis and Design Language(AADL).An architecture-based PRA method is presented to support safety assessment for the AADL model of a cyber-physical system.To simulate the PRM with the proposed PRA method,model transformation from PRM to a deterministic and stochastic Petri net model is implemented.Finally,a case study on the power grid system of CPS is modeled and analyzed using the proposed method.
文摘BACKGROUND Cancer patients often suffer from severe stress reactions psychologically,such as anxiety and depression.Prostate cancer(PC)is one of the common cancer types,with most patients diagnosed at advanced stages that cannot be treated by radical surgery and which are accompanied by complications such as bodily pain and bone metastasis.Therefore,attention should be given to the mental health status of PC patients as well as physical adverse events in the course of clinical treatment.AIM To analyze the risk factors leading to anxiety and depression in PC patients after castration and build a risk prediction model.METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 120 PC cases treated in Xi'an People's Hospital between January 2019 and January 2022.The patient cohort was divided into a training group(n=84)and a validation group(n=36)at a ratio of 7:3.The patients’anxiety symptoms and depression levels were assessed 2 wk after surgery with the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and the Selfrating Depression Scale(SDS),respectively.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting negative mood,and a risk prediction model was constructed.RESULTS In the training group,35 patients and 37 patients had an SAS score and an SDS score greater than or equal to 50,respectively.Based on the scores,we further subclassified patients into two groups:a bad mood group(n=35)and an emotional stability group(n=49).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that marital status,castration scheme,and postoperative Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score were independent risk factors affecting a patient's bad mood(P<0.05).In the training and validation groups,patients with adverse emotions exhibited significantly higher risk scores than emotionally stable patients(P<0.0001).The area under the curve(AUC)of the risk prediction model for predicting bad mood in the training group was 0.743,the specificity was 70.96%,and the sensitivity was 66.03%,while in the validation group,the AUC,specificity,and sensitivity were 0.755,66.67%,and 76.19%,respectively.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed aχ^(2) of 4.2856,a P value of 0.830,and a C-index of 0.773(0.692-0.854).The calibration curve revealed that the predicted curve was basically consistent with the actual curve,and the calibration curve showed that the prediction model had good discrimination and accuracy.Decision curve analysis showed that the model had a high net profit.CONCLUSION In PC patients,marital status,castration scheme,and postoperative pain(VAS)score are important factors affecting postoperative anxiety and depression.The logistic regression model can be used to successfully predict the risk of adverse psychological emotions.

文摘BACKGROUND Although the specific pathogenesis of preterm birth(PTB)has not been thoroughly clarified,it is known to be related to various factors,such as pregnancy complications,maternal socioeconomic factors,lifestyle habits,reproductive history,environmental and psychological factors,prenatal care,and nutritional status.PTB has serious implications for newborns and families and is associated with high mortality and complications.Therefore,the prediction of PTB risk can facilitate early intervention and reduce its resultant adverse consequences.AIM To analyze the risk factors for PTB to establish a PTB risk prediction model and to assess postpartum anxiety and depression in mothers.METHODS A retrospective analysis of 648 consecutive parturients who delivered at Shenzhen Bao’an District Songgang People’s Hospital between January 2019 and January 2022 was performed.According to the diagnostic criteria for premature infants,the parturients were divided into a PTB group(n=60)and a full-term(FT)group(n=588).Puerperae were assessed by the Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self rating Depression Scale(SDS),based on which the mothers with anxiety and depression symptoms were screened for further analysis.The factors affecting PTB were analyzed by univariate analysis,and the related risk factors were identified by logistic regression.RESULTS According to univariate analysis,the PTB group was older than the FT group,with a smaller weight change and greater proportions of women who underwent artificial insemination and had gestational diabetes mellitus(P<0.05).In addition,greater proportions of women with reproductive tract infections and greater white blood cell(WBC)counts(P<0.05),shorter cervical lengths in the second trimester and lower neutrophil percentages(P<0.001)were detected in the PTB group than in the FT group.The PTB group exhibited higher postpartum SAS and SDS scores than did the FT group(P<0.0001),with a higher number of mothers experiencing anxiety and depression(P<0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a greater maternal weight change,the presence of gestational diabetes mellitus,a shorter cervical length in the second trimester,a greater WBC count,and the presence of maternal anxiety and depression were risk factors for PTB(P<0.01).Moreover,the risk score of the FT group was lower than that of the PTB group,and the area under the curve of the risk score for predicting PTB was greater than 0.9.CONCLUSION This study highlights the complex interplay between postpartum anxiety and PTB,where maternal anxiety may be a potential risk factor for PTB,with PTB potentially increasing the incidence of postpartum anxiety in mothers.In addition,a greater maternal weight change,the presence of gestational diabetes mellitus,a shorter cervical length,a greater WBC count,and postpartum anxiety and depression were identified as risk factors for PTB.

文摘BACKGROUND Mucocutaneous separation(MCS)is a common postoperative complication in enterostomy patients,potentially leading to significant morbidity.Early identification of risk factors is crucial for preventing this condition.However,predictive models for MCS remain underdeveloped.AIM To construct a risk prediction model for MCS in enterostomy patients and assess its clinical predictive accuracy.METHODS A total of 492 patients who underwent enterostomy from January 2019 to March 2023 were included in the study.Patients were divided into two groups,the MCS group(n=110),and the non-MCS(n=382)based on the occurrence of MCS within the first 3 weeks after surgery.Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify the independent predictive factors of MCS and the model constructed.Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to assess the model’s performance.RESULTS The postoperative MCS incidence rate was 22.4%.Suture dislodgement(P<0.0001),serum albumin level(P<0.0001),body mass index(BMI)(P=0.0006),hemoglobin level(P=0.0409),intestinal rapture(P=0.0043),incision infection(P<0.0001),neoadjuvant therapy(P=0.0432),stoma site(P=0.0028)and elevated intra-abdominal pressure(P=0.0395)were potential predictive factors of MCS.Suture dislodgement[P<0.0001,OR:28.007595%CI:(11.0901-82.1751)],serum albumin level(P=0.0008,OR:0.3504,95%CI:[0.1902-0.6485]),BMI[P=0.0045,OR:2.1361,95%CI:(1.2660-3.6235)],hemoglobin level[P=0.0269,OR:0.5164,95%CI:(0.2881-0.9324)],intestinal rapture[P=0.0351,OR:3.0694,95%CI:(1.0482-8.5558)],incision infection[P=0.0179,OR:0.2885,95%CI:(0.0950-0.7624)]and neoadjuvant therapy[P=0.0112,OR:1.9769,95%CI:(1.1718-3.3690)]were independent predictive factors and included in the model.The model had an area under the curve of 0.827 and good clinical utility on decision curve analysis.CONCLUSION The mucocutaneous separation prediction model constructed in this study has good predictive performance and can provide a reference for early warning of mucocutaneous separation in enterostomy patients.

文摘This paper considers the one-and two-dimensional risk models with a non-stationary claim-number process.Under the assumption that the claim-number process satisfies the large deviations principle,the uniform asymptotics for the finite-time ruin probability of a one-dimensional risk model are obtained for the strongly subexponential claim sizes.Further,as an application of the result of onedimensional risk model,we derive the uniform asymptotics for a kind of finite-time ruin probability in a two dimensional risk model sharing a common claim-number process which satisfies the large deviations principle.

文摘Consider a nonstandard continuous-time bidimensional risk model with constant force of interest,in which the two classes of claims with subexponential distributions satisfy a general dependence structure and each pair of the claim-inter-arrival times is arbitrarily dependent.Under some mild conditions,we achieve a locally uniform approximation of the finite-time ruin probability for all time horizon within a finite interval.If we further assume that each pair of the claim-inter-arrival times is negative quadrant dependent and the two classes of claims are consistently-varying-tailed,it shows that the above obtained approximation is also globally uniform for all time horizon within an infinite interval.
