Survival following the development of ascites and/or peripheral oedema in primary biliary cirrhosis: A staged prognostic model
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Current prognostic models in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) have low precision, partly due to the restricted inclusion criteria of some cohorts used for modelling but also because of the prolonged natural course of the disease. It is hypothesized that better precision could be achieved with a staged model, using ascites or peripheral oedema as a new starting-point for prediction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was based on an established database of 289 consecutive patients, followed between 1977 and 1998. Stepwise Cox regression was used to construct a staged model based on 143 patients who first developed ascites (n=111) or peripheral oedema (n=32) at entry or during subsequent follow-up. The model was compared with published models using graphical methods and receiver operating characteristics (ROCs). RESULTS: Mean time from clinical diagnosis of ascites or peripheral oedema to death was 3.1 years. The following variables had independent prognostic significance: log10(bilirubin) (p<0.001), albumin (p<0.001), age (p<0.001) and history of encephalopathy (p<0.001). Goodness of fit showed that the survival probabilities predicted by the Ascites Stage Model fitted well with the observed data. The Ascites Stage Model (ROC 0.8324 (SE 0.0348)) was a better predictor of survival than the Mayo long-term model (ROC 0.7833 (SE 0.0397)), the Mayo Repeated Patient Visits Model (ROC 0.7779 (SE 0.0399)) and the Royal Free PBC Prognostic Model (ROC 0.7785 (SE 0.0396)). CONCLUSIONS: The Ascites Stage Model gives a better survival estimate for PBC patients once they have developed ascites or peripheral oedema compared with the current models, and demonstrates an advantage of staged models in diseases with a prolonged natural history.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
