Prediction Model of Bone Marrow Infiltration in Patients with Malignant Lymphoma Based on Logistic Regression and XGBoost Algorithm.

Abstract

Objective The prediction model of bone marrow infiltration (BMI) in patients with malignant lymphoma (ML) was established based on the logistic regression and the XGBoost algorithm. The model's prediction efficiency was evaluated. Methods A total of 120 patients diagnosed with ML in the department of hematology from January 2018 to January 2021 were retrospectively selected. The training set (n = 84) and test set (n = 36) were randomly divided into 7 : 3, and logistic regression and XGBoost algorithm models were constructed using the training set data. Predictors of BMI were screened based on laboratory indicators, and the model's efficacy was evaluated using test set data. Results The prediction algorithm model's top three essential characteristics are the blood platelet count, soluble interleukin-2 receptor, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The area under the curve of the logistic regression model for predicting the BMI of patients with ML was 0.843 (95% CI: 0.761~0.926). The area under the curve of the XGBoost model is 0.844 (95% CI: 0.765~0.937). Conclusion The prediction model constructed in this study based on logistic regression and XGBoost algorithm has a good prediction model. The results showed that blood platelet count and soluble interleukin-2 receptor were good predictors of BMI in ML patients.
