The EBMT risk score [PDF]

open access: yesBone Marrow Transplantation, 2011
The European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) risk score provides a simple tool to assess instantly chances and risks of hematopoietic SCT(HSCT) for an individual patient pre-transplant. Five factors, age of the patient, stage of the disease, time from diagnosis, donor type and donor recipient gender combination augment risk for an ...

Communicating Risk—Coronary Risk Scores

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A: Statistics in Society, 2003
SummaryCardiovascular disease, particularly heart attack and stroke, is the major cause of death in adults in Europe. The underlying atherosclerosis which causes cardiovascular disease is difficult to treat or reverse, and this has led to intense interest in strategies to prevent its development.

Genomics and Prognosis Analysis of N6-Methyladenosine Regulators in Lung Adenocarcinoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Objective: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is involved in modulating various biological processes in human cancers. But the implication of m6A modification in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is still unclear.

Identification and Validation of Immune-Related LncRNA Prognostic Signature for Lung Adenocarcinoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
This study aimed to establish a prognostic risk model for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). We firstly divided 535 LUAD samples in TCGA-LUAD into high-, medium-, and low-immune infiltration groups by consensus clustering analysis according to immunological ...

A Quality Improvement Initiative to Standardize Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia Prophylaxis in Pediatric Patients With Solid Tumors

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients with extracranial solid tumors (ST) receiving chemotherapy are at an increased risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, evidence guiding prophylaxis practices in this population is limited. A PJP‐related fatality at our institution highlighted inconsistent prescribing approaches and concerns about

Learning Optimized Risk Scores

open access: yes, 2016
Risk scores are simple classification models that let users make quick risk predictions by adding and subtracting a few small numbers. These models are widely used in medicine and criminal justice, but are difficult to learn from data because they need to be calibrated, sparse, use small integer coefficients, and obey application-specific operational ...

Association of a Polygenic Risk Score With Breast Cancer Among Women Carriers of High- and Moderate-Risk Breast Cancer Genes

open access: yesJAMA Network Open, 2020
Key Points Question Are polygenic risk scores associated with changes in breast cancer risks for individuals with a pathogenic variant in moderate-risk breast cancer genes? Findings In this case-control study of 9802 women carrying pathogenic variants of

Potential Early Risk Biomarkers for Reduced Forced Expiratory Volume in Children Post‐Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We sought to identify potential early risk biomarkers for lung disease in children post‐allogeneic HCT. Patients with pulmonary function tests 3 months post‐transplant and plasma samples between days 7 and 14 post‐HCT were included. Six of 27 subjects enrolled had reduced forced expiratory volume 1 (FEV1) z scores.

Integration of risk factor polygenic risk score with disease polygenic risk score for disease prediction

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Polygenic risk score (PRS) is useful for capturing an individual’s genetic susceptibility. However, previous studies have not fully exploited the potential of the risk factor PRS (RFPRS) for disease prediction.
