A new method of kernel-smoothing estimation of the ROC curve

, 2016
The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is a popular graphical tool for describing the accuracy of a diagnostic test. Based on the idea of estimating the ROC curve as a distribution function, we propose a new kernel smoothing estimator of the ...

CX3CL1 in Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease: Plasma Dynamics Across Age and Disease Stages

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Backgrounds Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid‐beta plaques, tau tangles, and neuroinflammation. C‐X3‐C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CX3CL1, also known as fractalkine), a neuroimmune chemokine implicated in AD pathogenesis, shows inconsistent alterations in plasma/serum across studies.

Fluid Biomarkers of Disease Burden and Cognitive Dysfunction in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Identifying objective biomarkers for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is crucial to improving diagnosis and establishing clinical trial and treatment endpoints. This study evaluated fluid biomarkers in PSP versus controls and their associations with regional 18F‐PI‐2620 tau‐PET, clinical, and cognitive outcomes.

Reduction in Renal Relapse and Preservation of Long‐Term Kidney Function After Lupus Low Disease Activity in Patients With Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) is a validated treatment target in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but limited studies have explored the role of LLDAS in lupus nephritis (LN). This study aims to investigate the frequency and predictors of LLDAS attainment and its benefit on LN relapse and renal function preservation in patients ...

Determining cut-off values and predictors for the Snaith–Hamilton Pleasure Scale: comparison between clinical and school settings

BJPsych Open
Background Few previous studies have established Snaith–Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS) cut-off values using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and applied these values to compare predictors of anhedonia between clinical and nonclinical ...

Validation of a Genetic Risk Score Combined with Clinical Variables for Predicting Pulmonary Fibrosis in early Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a severe extra‐articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study aimed to externally validate a genetic risk score (GRS) and a combined risk score for predicting the risk of RA‐associated PF in an independent cohort of early‐RA patients. Methods This study utilized an inception cohort of 1118 patients

Performance Characteristics of Anti‐Collagen II Antibodies in Relapsing Polychondritis and Related Diseases: Prospective Analysis, Systematic Review, and Meta‐Analysis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare disease defined by recurrent cartilaginous inflammation. Anti‐collagen II (anti‐Col2) antibodies have been proposed as a diagnostic biomarker for RP, but their performance characteristics are not well defined.
