Risk factors and prediction model construction of urinary tract infection in elderly patients with diabetic nephropathy by Cong Feng, Bo Yang, Linlang Liang

“…[Results] There was no significant difference in the data between disease group 1 and disease group 2 (P>0.05).The gender, course of disease, use of catheter, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), and cystatin C(Cys-C) of the combined group and the non combined group in disease group 1 were statistically significant(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female, urinary catheter, HbA1c>7.5%, high Cys-C and low eGFR were the risk factors of urinary tract infection in elderly patients with diabetes nephropathy (P<0.05).A nomogram was constructed from the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis.In the ROC curve for validating the nomogram model, the area under the curve was higher in disease group 1 and disease group 2 [0.915 (95%CI: 0.871~0.959) and 0.926 (95%CI: 0.865~0.986)] (P<0.05).The fitting test results showed that the application performance of the prediction model was good in the disease 1 group and the disease 2 group, and the difference between the prediction results and the actual results was not significant (P>0.05).Calibration curve showed that disease group 1 and disease group 2 were almost consistent with the ideal curve in this prediction model. …”
