Abstract
Aim: Adalimumab (ADA) is an effective treatment for Crohn’s disease (CD); however, some patients still experience adverse reactions and nonresponse. This study aimed to explore the risk factors associated with ADA poor efficacy through machine learning algorithms, which provide promising guidance for the management of ADA in clinical practice.
Methods: This single-center investigation included 114 CD patients treated with ADA in the Department of Gastroenterology from January 2020 to January 2023. Risk factors associated with each poor efficacy event were explored using logistic regression and machine learning algorithms. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and partial dependence plot methods were used to analyze the risk factors of each event.
Results: The results showed 8 of these patients experienced primary non-response (PNR), 35 patients developed secondary loss of response (LOR), and 27.2% (31/114) of patients experienced at least one adverse events (AEs). After comparing the fit of the models established by 10 algorithms, the risk factors associated with PNR, LOR, and AEs were analyzed using the logistic regression algorithm, KNN algorithm, and Extra Tree algorithm, respectively. The most important variables related to the PNR, LOR, and AEs events were the history of corticosteroid use, baseline CDAI, and uric acid, respectively.
Conclusions: This study confirmed the efficacy of ADA for clinical practice in the Chinese CD population, and that patients with a history of corticosteroid use, high levels of disease activity, and high inflammatory state before ADA treatment were associated with increased risks of poor efficacy.
期刊介绍:
Dermatologic Therapy has been created to fill an important void in the dermatologic literature: the lack of a readily available source of up-to-date information on the treatment of specific cutaneous diseases and the practical application of specific treatment modalities. Each issue of the journal consists of a series of scholarly review articles written by leaders in dermatology in which they describe, in very specific terms, how they treat particular cutaneous diseases and how they use specific therapeutic agents. The information contained in each issue is so practical and detailed that the reader should be able to directly apply various treatment approaches to daily clinical situations. Because of the specific and practical nature of this publication, Dermatologic Therapy not only serves as a readily available resource for the day-to-day treatment of patients, but also as an evolving therapeutic textbook for the treatment of dermatologic diseases.
