A Clinical Nomogram for Predicting Substandard Serum Valproic Acid Concentrations in Chinese Patients With Epilepsy by Zi-Hao Duan, MS, Chun-Yuan He, MS, Jie Chen, BS, Jun-Jie Jiang, BS, Zhi-Xiang Zhu, PhD, Jing Li, MS, Fa-Cai Wang, MD

“…The decision curve revealed that the nomogram that predicted the risk of substandard serum VPA concentration had a greater net benefit value (ranging from 12% to 94%), indicating that the model had a wide prediction interval. Conclusions: Our study established a nomogram risk prediction model for substandard serum VPA concentrations in Chinese patients with epilepsy, which can help doctors or patients control the serum VPA concentration within the target concentration range as soon as possible.…”
