Objective:This study aims to develop a laboratory-based predictive model for early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) using baseline data collected at hospital admission.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. Clinical and baseline laboratory test data from 502 patients with ACI admitted to the Department of Neurology at our hospital between January 1, 2022 and May 31, 2025. Of these patients, 313 were male and 189 were female, with a median age of 67 years (interquartile range: 58-73). Patients were classified into an END group and a non-END group according to the occurrence of END within 7 days of admission. Subsequently, using the caret package in R (version 4.4.2), the dataset was randomly divided into a training set ( n=351) and a validation set ( n=151) at a 7∶3 ratio, with END status as the stratification variable and a fixed random seed to ensure reproducibility. Following baseline characteristic comparisons between groups, these datasets were used for model development and validation, respectively. The differences in clinical indicators between the two patients groups were assessed using the chi-square test and the Wilcoxon rank sum test. In the training group, Lasso regression was utilized to identify variables significantly associated with END. Seven machine learning algorithms-decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), light gradient boosting machine (LGBM), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and logistic regression (LR)-were employed to develop predictive models. The optimal hyperparameters were determined via grid search integrated with 5-fold cross-validation. The final algorithm was selected based on comprehensive model performance evaluation. Additionally, clinical data of 79 patients with ACI, collected between June 1 to August 31, 2025, were compiled as an independent test set for external validation. The cohort comprised 49 males and 30 females, with a median age of 68 years (interquartile range: 57-72). The SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method was employed to access feature importance and model interpretability. SHAP dependence plots and interaction plots were utilized to emplore the nonlinear relationships and interaction effects among the featurevariables. Results:Among the 502 patients, 166 experienced END during 7 days of hospitalization. Lasso regression identified nine significant predictors: history of hyperlipidemia, admission NIHSS score, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), hemoglobin, D-dimer, albumin, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), homocysteine (HCY), and vitamin B12. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for the seven machine learning models ranged from 0.709 to 0.946. The XGB model achieved the highest predictive performance, with an AUC of 0.946 (95% CI 0.924-0.960) in the training cohort and 0.867 (95% CI 0.902-0.933) in the validation cohort. SHAP analysis revealed that the top five variables contributing to END prediction were admission NIHSS score, HCY, D-dimer, history of hyperlipidemia, and vitamin B12. Conclusion:This study successfully developed a laboratory-based prediction model for END using the XGB machine learning algorithm, which demonstrated strong predictive performance.

Objective To investigate the relationship of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level and blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods The clinical data of 300 pa-tients with T2DM in the hospital were analyzed retrospectively.According to the level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ,the patients were divided into the good control of blood glucose group (<6.5%) ,the medium con-trol of blood glucose group (6.5% -7.5%) and the poor control of blood glucose group (>7.5%).Another 44 healthy individuals with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) confirmed by oral glucose tolerance test (OGT T) were selected as normal control group.The level of 25(OH)D in each group was compared ,and the correlation between HbA1c and 25(OH)D was analyzed.Results The level of serum 25(OH)D in the poor control of blood glucose group was significantly lower than that in the good control of blood glucose group and the con-trol group ,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) ;the levels of serum 25(OH)D in the the medium and good control of blood glucose groups were significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).HbA1c was negatively correlated with 25 (OH) D level (r= -0.212 ,P=0.000).Conclusion The level of serum 25 (OH) D is related to the development of T2DM.Proper vitamin D supplementation can be used as an adjuvant therapy for T 2DM.
