Establishment and analysis of a novel diagnostic model for systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis based on machine learning

Pediatr Rheumatol Online JPublished Diagnostic model development study

Authors' conclusion

We successfully developed a new SJIA diagnostic model that can be used for a novel aid in the identification of SJIA.

Study context

Population
Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) gene expression samples from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO): training set merged from GSE11,907-GPL96, GSE8650-GPL96 and GSE13,501; validation set GSE7753training dataset
Participants
125 vs 92
Comparison
sJIA vs healthy samples
  • Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA)n = 125
  • Healthyn = 92reference
Outcome
RF diagnostic model based on 4 key genes (ALDH1A1, CEACAM1, YBX3, SLC6A8) distinguishing sJIA from healthy samples
