Article Abstract
Purpose: Statistical shrinkage is a potential statistical method to improve the accuracy of signal detection results and avoid spurious associations detected by disproportionality analyses. In this study, we introduced statistical shrinkage influence on disproportionality methods in spontaneous reporting system in China.
Methods: We added the shrinkage parameters in the numerator and denominator, denoted as in the formula of disproportionality analysis. The shrinkage parameters were subjectively set to between 0 and 5, with an interval of 0.1. Adverse drug reaction product label database was deemed as a proxy of golden standard to evaluate the effect of statistical shrinkage. Reports in the years of 2010-2011 were extracted from the national spontaneous reporting system database as the data source for analysis in this study.
Results: When α was around 0.5, the Youden index reached the maximum for each disproportionality methods in this study. The value of 0.6 was suggested as the most appropriate statistical shrinkage parameter for reporting odds ratio and proportional reporting ratio and 0.2 for information component based on the spontaneous reporting system of China.

Prediction of bone oligometastases in breast cancer using models based on deep learning radiomics of PET/CT imaging.
Front Oncol

Department of Nuclear Medicine, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, Shenyang, Liaoning, China.
Objective: To develop a deep learning radiomics(DLR)model integrating PET/CT radiomics, deep learning features, and clinical parameters for early prediction of bone oligometastases (≤5 lesions) in breast cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 207 breast cancer patients with 312 bone lesions, comprising 107 benign and 205 malignant lesions, including 89 lesions with confirmed bone metastases. Radiomic features were extracted from computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and fused PET/CT images using PyRadiomics embedded in the uAI Research Portal.
Predicting venous thromboembolism among hospitalized adults: a protocol for development and validation of an implementable real-time prognostic model.

Department of Biostatistics, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA.
Background: Hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized adults. Numerous prognostic models have been developed to identify those patients with elevated risk of HA-VTE. None, however, has met the necessary criteria to guide clinical decision-making.

Background: A relationship between obesity, as measured by body mass index (BMI), and multiple sclerosis (MS) has been reported in several observational studies. This study aimed to investigate the potential causal relationship between BMI and the risk of developing MS using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.
Materials And Methods: A two-sample MR analysis was performed using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the exposures - BMI and MS - sourced from publicly available genome-wide association studies (GWAS) at a genome-wide significance threshold of = 5 × 10.
Rethinking calibration as a statistical estimation problem to improve measurement accuracy.

Calibration in analytical chemistry is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measurements. Proper calibration strategies minimize errors, enhance reproducibility, and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. Without it, data integrity could be compromised, leading to incorrect conclusions and potentially flawed decisions in both research and industrial applications.

Objective: To develop a risk predictive model for inadvertent hypothermia (IH) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and to validate the accuracy of the model.
Methods: The data was collected at the ICU of a tertiary hospital in Zunyi from November 2022 to June 2023 for model construction and internal validation. Data collected at the ICU of another tertiary hospital in Zunyi from July 2023 to December 2023 was used for external validation.
