RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with tremor-dominant (TD) and non-tremor-dominant (NTD) subtypes exhibit heterogeneity. Rapid identification of different motor subtypes may help to develop personalized treatment plans. METHODS: The data were acquired from the Parkinson's Disease Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI). Following the identification of predictors utilizing recursive feature elimination (RFE), seven classical machine learning (ML) models, including logistic regression, support vector machine, decision tree, random forest, extreme gradient boosting, etc., were trained to predict patients' motor subtypes, evaluating the performance of models through the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and validating by the follow-up data. RESULTS: The feature subset engendered by RFE encompassed 20 features, comprising some clinical assessments and cerebrospinal fluid α-synuclein (CSF α-syn). ML models fitted in the RFE subset performed better in the test and validation sets. The best performing model was support vector machines with the polynomial kernel (P-SVM), achieving an AUC of 0.898. Five-fold repeated cross-validation showed the P-SVM model with CSF α-syn performed better than the model without CSF α-syn (P = 0.034). The Shapley additive explanation plot (SHAP) illustrated that how the levels of each feature affect the predicted probability as NTD subtypes. CONCLUSION: An interactive web application was developed based on the P-SVM model constructed from feature subset by RFE. It can identify the current motor subtypes of PD patients, making it easier to understand the status of patients and develop personalized treatment plans.

Background and aims: In China, a significant number of undergraduates are experiencing poor sleep quality. This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of poor sleep quality and identify associated factors among undergraduates in Jiangsu Province, China. Methods: A total of 8,457 participants were collected in 2022 using whole-group convenience sampling. The factors studied included basic demographics, family and social support, personal lifestyles, physical and mental health, mobile phone addiction index (MPAI), and the Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. Four models, including weighted multiple linear regression, binary logistic regression, weighted linear mixed model, and logistic regression with random effects, were applied to identify associated factors for sleep quality. Results: Of the 8,457 participants analyzed, 26.64% (2,253) were classified into the poor sleep quality group with a PSQI score >7. No significant relationship was found between sleep quality and gender, native place, economic level of family, physical exercise, dormitory light, dormitory hygiene, and amativeness matter. Risk factors for sleep quality identified by the four models included lower CD-RISC, higher MPAI, fourth grade or above, smoking, drinking, greater academic pressure, greater employment pressure, roommate sleeping late, noisy dormitory, poorer physical health status, poorer mental health status, and psychological counseling. Conclusions: These findings provide valuable insights for university administrators, enabling them to better understand the risk factors associated with poor sleep quality in undergraduates. By identifying these factors, administrators can provide targeted intervention measures and counseling programs to improve students' sleep quality.
