Inflammatory myopathies

A nomogram based on clinical factors and CT radiomics for predicting anti-MDA5+ DM complicated by rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD)

Rheumatology (Oxford)Published Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

Our results suggest that the combination model built with clinical and radiomics features could reliably predict the occurrence of RP-ILD in MDA5+ DM patients.

Independent predictors of RP-ILD

Dyspnoea
P = 0.000
Duration of illness in months
P = 0.001
Three radiomics features
P = 0.001, 0.044 and 0.008
No imaging features significantly different between the two groups

Nomogram calibration and decision curve analyses

Satisfactory consistency and clinical utility of the nomogram
