A succession of predictive renal models was developed including variables routinely collected in primary care and hypothesized to be predictive of first end-stage renal events.
For example, Soussan et al. found only the post- to pretreatment difference of volumetric PET parameters to be predictive of outcome in patients with stage III NSCLC; pretreatment parameters alone were not predictive.
Even so, separate analysis of cortical and cancellous BD and area with CT-assisted osteodensitometry may be predictive of stem failure at an early stage, and may possibly detect osteolytic lesions long before they are visible on plain radiographs.
Aguayo et al. [ 57] also reported lower VEGF plasma levels to be predictive of shorter survival times in early-stage CLL as well as in β2-microglobulin negative cases.
This prevented exclusive analysis of patients with endosonographic T3 tumours, to establish the relative influence of the radiological factors other than EUS T stage, that may be predictive of CRM involvement.
This result shows that line (hence genotype) trait measurements in larvae can be predictive of disease state in a different developmental stage, in this case heart dysfunction in adult flies.
Pretransplant stage was found to be predictive of neurodevelopmental outcome.
The finding of lactate buildup in the SMNΔ7 mouse and the correlation with a score that is predictive of disease stage provide an interesting insight into the disease pathophysiology and a possible biomarker for SMA.
Both urinary (expressed as the ratio of NGAL on urinary creatinine) and plasma NGAL were predictive of AKI Stage 1. Predictive value of plasmatic measurements was higher than the urinary one (AUC of 0.627 and 0.758, respectively, p = 0.0273 between AUC), but not higher than either baseline serum creatinine (AUC = 0.737) or 24 h diuresis (AUC = 0.735).
Furthermore, in the UK setting of universal health-care coverage, we found no evidence that socio-economic factors were predictive of DLBCL stage at presentation, treatment or survival.
