Establishment and internal validation of a model to predict the efficacy of Adalimumab in Crohn’s disease by Fang Wang, He Zhou, Yujie Zhang, Yu Da, Tiantian Zhang, Yanting Shi, Tong Wu, Jie Liang

“…A predictive model was constructed by multivariate logistic regression (Adalimumab-positive cell count (OR, 1.143; 95%CI, 1.056–1.261), disease duration (OR, 0.967; 95%CI, 0.937–0.986), and neutrophil count (×109/L) (OR, 1.274; 95%CI,1.014–1.734)). The predictive model yielded an area under the curve of 0.866 (95%CI, 0.776–0.956), and in the internal validation, the area under the curve was 0.870 (95%CI, 0.770–0.940). …”
