Construction of a Prediction Model for the Mortality of Elderly Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy.

ABSTRACT: To construct a prediction model for all-cause mortality in elderly diabetic nephropathy (DN) patients, in this cohort study, the data of 511 DN patients aged ≥65 years were collected and the participants were divided into the training set (n = 358) and the testing set (n = 153). The median survival time of all participants was 2 years. The data in the training set were grouped into the survival group (n = 203) or the death group (n = 155). Variables with P ≤ 0.1 between the two groups were selected as preliminary predictors and involved into the multivariable logistic regression model and the covariables were gradually adjusted. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC), Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS), and calibration curves were plotted for evaluating the pred
