Analysis of risk factors and a clinical prediction model for human cerebral echinococcosis in Ganzi region, China.

ABSTRACT: The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is one of the regions with the highest prevalence of cerebral echinococcosis worldwide. Investigating the risk factors for cerebral echinococcosis in Ganzi and developing an effective clinical risk prediction model is crucial for enhancing disease prevention and control in the region. Study participants were selected from the People's Hospital of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture between January 2016 and December 2023. In this subject, 152 cases were diagnosed with cerebral echinococcosis (case group), while 580 cases were diagnosed with non-Echinococcus infection (control group).
