A Multivariate prediction model for amlodipine therapeutic efficacy in pediatric primary hypertension by Yao Lin, Hui Wang, Yaqi Li, Yang Liu, Yanyan Liu, Hongwei Zhang, Yanjun Deng, Lin Shi

“…After statistical adjustment, 4 variables were found to be independently associated with therapeutic efficacy, including hyperinsulinemia (OR = 3.000, 95% CI: 1.409-6.386, p  = 0.004), insulin resistance (OR = 2.354, 95% CI: 1.032-5.370, p = 0.042), the baseline plasma Endothelin-1 level (OR = 0.627, 95% CI: 0.532-0.740, p < 0.001) and amlodipine dosages (OR = 1.743, 95% CI: 1.400-2.169, p <0.001). Compared to the baseline model, the full model with the four variables had a good calibration with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.967 (95% CI: 0.945-0.990), yielding a sensitivity and a specificity of 91.0% and 92.1%, respectively; the clinical decision curve showed a positive net benefit. …”
