Comparison of conventional risk factors in middle-aged versus elderly diabetic and nondiabetic patients with myocardial infarction: prediction with decision-analytic model.

CONCLUSIONS: The CART model is capable of symbolizing interpretable clinical data for confirming and better prediction of MI occurrence in clinic or in hospital. Therefore, predictor variables in pattern could affect the outcome based on age group variable. Hyperglycemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia were serious predictors for occurrence of MI in diabetics. PMID: 26623003 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
