Univariable logistic regression was performed to assess the effect of potential factors to predict DM, with confirmed diabetes as the outcome. Subsequently, multivariable logistic regression analysis with stepwise variable selection was employed to develop the final models for predicting DM.ResultsSixty‐five (6.1%) and 83 (7.7%) of the 1074 participants were medically confirmed with T2DM and prediabetes, respectively. The ‘best’ predictive risk model for DM included body mass index (BMI), family history of diabetes, smoking and a diagnosis of Stage III/IV or severe periodontitis with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.717 (95% confidence interval, CI [0.689–0.744]) and 0.721 (95% CI [0.693–0.748]), respectively.

Serum (SE), plasma (PL) and GCF samples were quantitatively analysed for the following inflammatory biomarkers: active matrix metalloproteinase‐8 (aMMP‐8), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and surfactant protein D (SP‐D). Therapy outcomes were evaluated using a ‘treat‐to‐target’ endpoint (T2T) at the patient level, defined as ≤ 4 sites with pocket depth ≥ 5 mm.ResultsPatients presented with 23 ± 6 teeth (mean ± SD) at baseline. After steps I and II therapy, 41.6% of the patients reached T2T and after NSRI 47.4%. Univariate analysis identified a potential association between high levels of PL‐SP‐D and more favourable treatment outcomes. Multivariate binary logistic regression adjusted for sex, mean baseline probing depth, diabetes and current smoking status confirmed an independent relationship between baseline PL‐SP‐D and the T2T after steps I and II therapy (aOR 0.432, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.011), implying that a higher level PL‐SP‐D at baseline is associated with a > 50% reduced risk of failing T2T. However, no such association was found for PL‐SP‐D and NSRI.ConclusionHigher baseline PL‐SP‐D levels might be associated with more favourable treatment outcomes after steps I and II therapy. This may be due to its role in the regulation of neutrophil function. However, further investigation is required to confirm this hypothesis. If proven, PL‐SP‐D could play a role as a biomarker for identifying individuals who respond differentially to primary therapy.","PeriodicalId":15380,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Periodontology","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142597980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the present study is to explore whether the screening models could be modified to improve prediction performance; this methodology is called ‘updating’.MethodsUpdating the models for ‘total’ and ‘severe’ PD was performed using two datasets. One dataset from a previous study (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 155) was used to explore the updating, and a second (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 187, built for the current study) was used to validate whether updating improved performance. Updating was based on different statistical approaches, including model recalibration and revision. Discrimination and calibration were assessed after updating.ResultsFor ‘total’ PD, the update based on model revision improved its performance. However, still low AUCs were found: 0.64 (0.56–0.73) and 0.61 (0.53–0.69) with corresponding O:E ratios 1.00 (0.80–1.23) and 0.92 (0.75–1.13) in the update and validation cohorts, respectively. For ‘severe’ PD, performance of the original model without update performed still the best; AUCs were 0.72 (0.61–0.83) and 0.75 (0.66–0.84) in the update and validation cohorts, respectively, with corresponding O:E ratios 0.60 (0.38–0.84) and 0.62 (0.42–0.87).ConclusionsThe updating methodology did not further improve the performance of the original ‘severe’ PD screening model; it performed satisfactorily in the medical care setting.
