Development and validation of a nomogram model for sleep disorders in patients with recurrent implantation failure based on physiological and lifestyle factors by You Zhang, Ningxin Qin, Jing Hu, Jie Bai, Mengjia Pan, Yan Xu, Xin Huang, Ke Wang, Ke Wang

“…Lasso regression was used to screen potential predictive variables and multifactor logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the final predictors. A nomogram model was established, and the model was evaluated using methods such as plotting receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test, and decision curve analysis.ResultsThrough Lasso regression and multifactor logistic regression, 7 predictors were identified, including FSH, E2, depression mood (moderate, severe), daily exercise time, sun exposure, caffeine intake, and shift work (>16h/w) for constructing the nomogram model. …”
