The predictive ability of the nomogram model was assessed using a calibration curve. Additionally, decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the practical applicability of the model. For the ...

Calibration curve, ROC curve and clinical decision curve were ... The laboratory data were procalcitonin, prealbumin, D-dimer, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ferritin, interleukin-6, lactate ...

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate procalcitonin (PCT) and D-dimer as severity predictors in CHF ... while the Area under the Curve (AUC) was determined through multivariate analysis levels. The ...

Then, patients were randomized to either D-dimer testing or no D-dimer testing (controls). In the D-dimer group, patients with low clinical probabilities and negative D-dimer tests underwent no ...
