Validation of lung function prediction equations from patient survival data.
Diagnosing and managing pulmonary disease usually requires judging lung function against predicted values. We explored patient survival data to help identify the best equations for our population. The earliest spirometry, lung volumes and gas transfer data for all Caucasian patients were extracted from our database. Survival status was available for 8,139 patients. Lung function as standardised...
متن کاملLiquid-liquid equilibrium data prediction using large margin nearest neighbor
Guanidine hydrochloride has been widely used in the initial recovery steps of active protein from the inclusion bodies in aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). The knowledge of the guanidine hydrochloride effects on the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) phase diagram behavior is still inadequate and no comprehensive theory exists for the prediction of the experimental trends. Therefore the effect the ...
متن کاملImproved survival at low lung function in cystic fibrosis: cohort study from 1990 to 2007
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the survival of patients with cystic fibrosis whose lung function has deteriorated to a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) below 30% predicted in the recent treatment era and to explore factors associated with any change in survival. Design Cohort study. SETTING Adult cystic fibrosis unit in London. PARTICIPANTS 276 patients (147 (53%) male) whose FEV(1) ...
متن کاملImproved abundance prediction from presence–absence data
Aim Many ecological surveys record only the presence or absence of species in the cells of a rectangular grid. Ecologists have investigated methods for using these data to predict the total abundance of a species from the number of grid cells in which the species is present. Our aim is to improve such predictions by taking account of the spatial pattern of occupied cells, in addition to the num...
متن کاملAcute lung injury prediction score: derivation and validation in a population-based sample.
Early recognition of patients at high risk of acute lung injury (ALI) is critical for successful enrollment of patients in prevention strategies for this devastating syndrome. We aimed to develop and prospectively validate an ALI prediction score in a population-based sample of patients at risk. In a retrospective derivation cohort, predisposing conditions for ALI were identified at the time of...
