Abstract
Abstract
Context
Although elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels are associated with higher mortality risks, the evidence is limited as to when PTH is expected to be elevated and thus should be measured among the general population.
Objective
This work aimed to build a machine learning–based prediction model of elevated PTH levels based on demographic, lifestyle, and biochemical data among US adults.
Methods
This population-based study included adults aged 20 years or older with a measurement of serum intact PTH from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003 to 2006. We used the NHANES 2003 to 2004 cohort (n = 4096) to train 6 machine-learning prediction models (logistic regression with and without splines, lasso regression, random forest, gradient-boosting machines [GBMs], and SuperLearner). Then, we used the NHANES 2005 to 2006 cohort (n = 4112) to evaluate the model performance including area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
Results
Of 8208 US adults, 753 (9.2%) showed PTH greater than 74 pg/mL. Across 6 algorithms, the highest AUC was observed among random forest (AUC [95% CI] = 0.79 [0.76-0.81]), GBM (AUC [95% CI] = 0.78 [0.75-0.81]), and SuperLearner (AUC [95% CI] = 0.79 [0.76-0.81]). The AUC improved from 0.69 to 0.77 when we added cubic splines for the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the logistic regression models. Logistic regression models with splines showed the best calibration performance (calibration slope [95% CI] = 0.96 [0.86-1.06]), while other algorithms were less calibrated. Among all covariates included, eGFR was the most important predictor of the random forest model and GBM.
Conclusion
In this nationally representative data in the United States, we developed a prediction model that potentially helps us to make accurate and early detection of elevated PTH in general clinical practice. Future studies are warranted to assess whether this prediction tool for elevated PTH would improve adverse health outcomes.
