The primary outcome measure was in-hospital mortality rate. The participants were categorized into three groups according to RAR tertiles: T1 (2.535-3.871), N = 198; T2 (3.88-4.547), N = 196; and T3 (4.56-11.031), N = 200.

This study evaluated machine learning models that merge methylated SEPTIN9 (SEPT9) and secreted frizzled-related protein 2 (SFRP2) within circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) to detect HCC.Methods: A cohort of 165 healthy volunteers, 24 precancerous patients of HCC and 112 HCC patients were divided into training and validation sets. Methylated SEPT9 and SFRP2 (mSEPT9/mSFRP2) were detected using real-time PCR. Based on those methylation biomarkers and/or conventional biomarkers (CEA, AFP, CA125, and CA19-9), six machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest (RF), were employed to establish models for the training set. Models were evaluated for area under the ROC curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity, and subsequently validated in the validation set.Results: The RF model outperformed other models.

We employed Egger's test to check publication bias, sensitivity analyses to identify studies that significantly impacted the meta-analysis results, and subgroup analyses to ascertain the source of heterogeneity.Results: 10 articles involving 78,194 patients were enrolled. The pooled data indicated that NLR was a significant predictor of hypertension risk (OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.05-1.17, p = 0.004). Additionally, NLR was notably linked with all-cause (OR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.29-3.15, p = 0.002) and cardiovascular deaths (OR = 2.10, 95% CI = 1.51-2.61, p < 0.0001) in hypertensive patients. Sensitivity analyses validated the robustness of the findings, and subgroup analyses ascertained a source of heterogeneity.Conclusion: NLR is a reliable and valuable biomarker for predicting both the risk of hypertension and outcomes in hypertensive patients.","PeriodicalId":9182,"journal":{"name":"Biomarkers in medicine","volume":" ","pages":"783-791"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12416170/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144774644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
