Sustained Therapeutic Efficacy of Intravenous Plasminogen Concentrate in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Plasminogen Deficiency: An Analysis of Dosing Parameters and Clinical Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Type 1 plasminogen deficiency (PLGD‐1) is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the PLG gene and affects approximately 1.6 individuals per million. The condition is characterized by decreased plasminogen levels and impaired function, resulting in fibrin‐rich lesions on mucous membranes throughout the body.

Data‐adaptive additive modeling

Statistics in Medicine, 2018
In this paper, we consider fitting a flexible and interpretable additive regression model in a data‐rich setting. We wish to avoid pre‐specifying the functional form of the conditional association between each covariate and the response, while still retaining interpretability of the fitted functions.
