Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical technology, and particularly relates to a nomogram-based method for identifying skin and mucosal lesions in ALL patients after HD-MTX treatment. Background Art
[0002] High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) was defined as MTX dose ≥ 0.5 g m -2 When HD-MTX is administered, the blood concentration of MTX increases significantly, and it can not only penetrate the blood-testosterone barrier and the blood-brain barrier, but also reach solid tumors with poor blood circulation.
[0003] High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is an important drug for the treatment of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, while HD-MTX enhances cytotoxicity and antitumor efficacy, it can also cause multiple adverse drug reactions (ADRs), including hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, hematotoxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity, neurotoxicity, and mucocutaneous adverse reactions. High-risk children, in particular, experience varying degrees of mucocutaneous adverse reactions, such as oral mucositis and perianal inflammation. Mild manifestations include mucosal congestion, edema, and erythema, while severe manifestations include extreme mucosal congestion and erosion, confluent white membranes, extensive mucosal ulcers, and severe pain. Severe oral mucositis and perianal inflammation can lead to nosocomial infections. Therefore, establishing early and rapid prediction and identification of mucocutaneous adverse reactions facilitates the timely development and adjustment of mucocutaneous injury repair and nursing plans.
[0004] Currently, the HD-MTX regimen is used clinically to treat children with ALL. MTX blood concentrations are tested 24 hours after HD-MTX administration, and a CF rescue regimen is used. Over time, the CF rescue regimen and MTX metabolism in the body change. MTX concentrations are retested at 48 and 72 hours, and the CF rescue regimen is adjusted until the MTX blood concentration is <0.2 μmol / L. However, mucocutaneous and oral mucositis are dose-limiting toxicities that can be caused by lower MTX concentrations. In clinical practice, even when the 48-hour MTX blood concentration is <0.2 μmol / L, some patients develop varying degrees of mucocutaneous and skin damage. Therefore, identifying the critical concentration for the occurrence of mucocutaneous and skin damage is crucial.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention establishes a method based on machine learning to identify skin and mucosal damage in children with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia after receiving high-dose methotrexate treatment, which is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of skin and mucosal damage. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention proposes a nomogram-based method for identifying skin and mucosal lesions in ALL patients after HD-MTX treatment.
[0007] This is achieved specifically through the following technical solutions:
[0008] A nomogram-based method for identifying skin and mucosal lesions in ALL patients after HD-MTX treatment includes the following steps:
[0009] The first step is to collect raw data and obtain continuous variables;
[0010] The second step was to construct a logistic regression model: Continuous variables were converted into binary variables using the ROC curve. These variables were then incorporated into the univariate and multivariate logistic regression equations to screen for risk factors for skin and mucosal injuries. The binary variables were classified based on the actual situation of skin and mucosal injuries. If the input variable indicated skin and mucosal injuries, the variable was assigned a 1; if the input variable did not indicate skin and mucosal injuries, the variable was assigned a 0.
[0011] The third step is to construct a CART decision tree model: The CART algorithm is used to analyze risk factors and establish a CART decision tree model to determine the conditions for the occurrence of skin and mucosal damage. The CART decision tree model has a split node and significance test level of 0.05, a maximum tree depth of 5 layers, a minimum sample size of 20 for parent nodes, and a minimum sample size of 15 for child nodes. The conditions for the occurrence of skin and mucosal damage are high-risk ALL patients with a 48-hour MTX blood concentration ≥ 0.14 μmol / L and receiving HD-MTX treatment.
[0012] Step 4: Neural network analysis: Risk factors were analyzed using a neural network to obtain the independent variable importance value and normalized importance value of each risk factor, and the primary and secondary relationships of the risk factors were determined. That is, high-risk ALL patients receiving HD-MTX treatment were the primary factor, and 48-hour MTX blood concentration ≥ 0.14 μmol / L was the secondary factor. The independent variable importance value of high-risk ALL patients receiving HD-MTX treatment was 0.613, and the normalized importance value was 100.0%. The independent variable importance value of 48-hour MTX blood concentration ≥ 0.14 μmol / L was 0.387, and the normalized importance value was 63.2%.
[0013] The fifth step is to construct a nomogram module: use the nomogram to visualize the results of the Logistic regression model, CART decision tree model and neural network analysis to obtain the nomogram module;
[0014] Step 6 Nomogram Warning:
[0015] 6.1 Define the patient's treatment type and blood drug concentration type, including:
[0016] The disease treatment type is divided into two groups: when the high-risk ALL patients receive HD-MTX treatment, the disease treatment type is 1; when the high-risk ALL patients do not receive HD-MTX treatment, or the intermediate-risk ALL patients receive HD-MTX treatment, or the low-risk patients receive HD-MTX treatment, the disease treatment type is 0;
[0017] The blood drug concentration type is divided into two groups: when the MTX blood drug concentration is ≥0.14 μmol / L at 48 hours, the blood drug concentration type is 1; when the MTX blood drug concentration is <0.14 μmol / L at 48 hours, the blood drug concentration type is 0;
[0018] 6.2 Input the treatment type and blood drug concentration type into the nomogram module. The nomogram module first scores the current patient's condition treatment type and blood drug concentration type separately, then sums them. Finally, the risk probability value is calculated based on the sum and the data results of the neural network multi-layer perception domain decision tree in SPSS26.0 software;
[0019] The 0.14 μmol / L was determined by the Youden index of the ROC curve; the ROC curve was based on the CCLG-ALL 2018 protocol, and 100 or more high-risk ALL patients meeting the symbol requirements were included. Their 48-hour MTX blood concentrations and skin and mucosal damage were statistically analyzed, and the Youden index was generated in SPSS26.0 software;
[0020] The ALL patients are minors aged ≤ 18 years old.
[0021] The continuous variables include 24-hour methotrexate blood concentration, 48-hour methotrexate blood concentration, 72-hour methotrexate blood concentration, body weight, age, methotrexate dosage, number of methotrexate administrations, folinate dosage, number of methotrexate administrations, HD-MTX treatment regimen, and disease type.
[0022] The risk factors are 48-hour MTX serum concentration, HD-MTX treatment regimen, and disease type.
[0023] The disease type is divided into high risk, intermediate risk and low risk according to the diagnosis results of the Diagnosis and Treatment Program for Children's Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (CCLG-ALL2018).
[0024] The disease treatment type score includes a score of 100 for high-risk ALL patients receiving HD-MTX treatment; a score of 0 for high-risk ALL patients not receiving HD-MTX treatment or children with non-high-risk ALL receiving HD-MTX treatment.
[0025] The blood drug concentration type score includes: when the MTX blood drug concentration in 48 hours is ≥0.14 μmol / L, the blood drug concentration score is 70; when the MTX blood drug concentration in 48 hours is <0.14 μmol / L, the blood drug concentration score is 0.
[0026] HD-MTX treatment for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia refers to MTX dose ≥ 0.5 g·m -2 .
[0027] The HD-MTX treatment regimens for ALL patients include: (1) HD-MTX+6-MP: HD-MTX combined with mercaptopurine; (2) HR-1′: HD-MTX combined with dexamethasone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and aspartase; (3) HR-2′: HD-MTX combined with dexamethasone, vindesine, ifosfamide, daunorubicin, and aspartase.
[0028] The method for detecting the MTX blood concentration is any one of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS / MS), fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA), enzyme amplified immunoassay (EMIT), and chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA).
[0029] The detection method of the MTX blood concentration is any one of HPLC, HPLC-MS / MS, FPIA, EMIT, and CMIA.
[0030] The risk probability includes: 48 hours after ALL patients are given HD-MTX, if the MTX blood concentration is less than the critical value, the risk probability of skin and mucosal damage is less than 6%; if the MTX blood concentration is greater than or equal to the critical value, the risk probability of skin and mucosal damage is greater than or equal to 85%.
[0031] Beneficial effects:
[0032] The method of the present invention has accurate prediction capabilities and has discovered a lower and more accurate critical concentration for the first time. It can promptly and effectively issue early warning signals of skin and mucous membrane damage in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and can provide a powerful reference for medical staff to adjust rescue plans as early as possible.
[0033] This paper establishes a nomogram for predicting skin and mucosal damage in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with high-dose methotrexate based on the results of a multivariate logistic regression model, a decision tree, and a neural network. The paper identifies the risk factors for skin and mucosal damage in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with high-dose methotrexate using a multivariate logistic regression model. Furthermore, a decision tree model is used to establish the conditions for the occurrence of skin and mucosal damage in patients with ALL. Finally, a neural network is used to identify the primary and secondary relationships between 48-hour methotrexate blood concentrations and ALL patients. This demonstrates the scientific and feasible nature of the present invention.
[0034] The method of the present invention is suitable for identifying and predicting the risk probability of skin and mucous membrane damage in children with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and is of great significance for proposing corresponding rescue plans for high-risk children in a timely manner.

[0042] The specific embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Any improvement or replacement based on the basic spirit of the present embodiment still falls within the scope of protection required by the claims of the present invention.
[0043] Example 1 Construction of Nomogram Early Warning Module
[0044] In the first part, 142 patients meeting the symbol requirements were enrolled according to the CCLG-ALL 2018 protocol, and their clinical data are shown in Table 1 .
[0045] Table 1 Clinical data of 142 ALL patients
[0046]
[0047] Note: HD-MTX treatment regimens: (1) 6-MP+HD-MTX: HD-MTX combined with mercaptopurine; (2) VD+HD-MTX: HD-MTX combined with vincristine and dexamethasone; (3) HR-1′: HD-MTX combined with dexamethasone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and aspartase; (4) HR-2′: HD-MTX combined with dexamethasone, vindesine, ifosfamide, daunorubicin, and aspartase.
[0048] The skin and mucosal injury conditions of the 142 patients in the second part are shown in Table 2.
[0049] Table 2 Description of skin and mucous membrane damage in 142 patients treated with high-dose methotrexate
[0050]
[0051] Note: a) Three patients had oral mucositis and perianal inflammation.
[0052] Part III Univariate and multivariate analysis of skin and mucosal injury
[0053] The ROC curve was used to convert continuous variables (24-hour methotrexate blood concentration, 48-hour methotrexate blood concentration, 72-hour methotrexate blood concentration, body weight, age, methotrexate dosage, number of methotrexate administrations, folinate dosage, number of methotrexate administrations) into binary variables (see Table 3).
[0054] Table 3 Univariate logistic regression analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis of risk factors
[0055]
[0056]
[0057] The results of univariate analysis showed that 24h CMTX (MTX blood concentration after 24h), 48h CMTX (MTX blood concentration after 48h), gender, weight, age, risk level, albumin, MTX dose, MTX frequency, CF dose, CF frequency, and HD-MTX regimen were associated with a higher incidence of skin and mucosal injuries (P<0.05).
[0058] The forward stepwise regression method was used to include single factors with p < 0.10 and clinically significant factors such as 24h CMTX, 48h CMTX, gender, weight, age, albumin, MTX dose, CF dose, and HD-MTX treatment regimen into multivariate logistic regression analysis. The results showed that 48h CMTX and high-risk ALL patients receiving HD-MTX treatment regimen were independent risk factors for skin and mucosal damage (p < 0.05).
[0059] Part IV: Classification and Regression Tree (Decision Tree) Analysis (CART) for Predicting HD-MTX-Related Skin and Mucosal Injuries
[0060] A decision tree model was constructed using the CART algorithm. The splitting and significance testing levels were set at 0.05, the maximum tree depth was 5 layers, the minimum sample size for parent nodes was 20, and the minimum sample size for child nodes was 15.
[0061] Figure 1 As shown, the mucocutaneous injury model is divided into three layers, with a total of seven nodes, four of which are terminal nodes. The identified influencing factors primarily include the 48-hour CMTX and HD-MTX regimens. Among them, 48-hour CMTX was most closely associated with mucocutaneous injury, followed by the HD-MTX regimen. The model showed that when the 48-hour CMTX concentration was <0.1395 μmol / L, the incidence of mucocutaneous injury was 5.60%. When the 48-hour CMTX exposure was ≥0.1395 μmol / L, the incidence was 31.3%. When the 48-hour CMTX concentration was ≥0.1395 μmol / L, the incidence was 85.70% when patients chose regimens 3 or 4. When the 48-hour CMTX concentration was ≥0.1395 μmol / L, the incidence was only 9.90% when patients received regimens 1 or 2. When 48-hour CMTX ≥ 0.1395 μmol / L, the incidence of mucocutaneous and skin damage was 13.20% in patients receiving regimen 1. When 48-hour CMTX ≥ 0.1395 μmol / L was maintained in patients receiving regimen 2, no mucocutaneous and skin damage occurred. Regimens 3 and 4 are recommended for high-risk patients. This suggests that this model, based on 48-hour methotrexate plasma concentrations, can be used to identify high-dose methotrexate regimens for treating high-risk children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and associated mucocutaneous damage.
[0062] Part V: Prediction of HD-MTX-related skin and mucosal damage using CART neural network analysis
[0063] Neural network results are shown in Figure 2As shown in Table 4, the results showed that the incidence of skin and mucosal injury was 86%, the normalization importance of the independent variable high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia children was 100%, and the normalization importance of 48hMTX serum concentration was 63.2%. It can be seen that high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia children was the primary factor for acute lymphoblastic leukemia children, followed by 48hMTX serum concentration.

[0066]
[0067] Part VI: Nomogram for predicting skin and mucosal damage in children with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with high-dose methotrexate
[0068] Figure 3 This is a nomogram for predicting skin and mucosal lesions in children with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Nomogram Description: Each point on the variable axis corresponds to a different score. The scores for each predictor are summed to obtain a total score. Different total scores correspond to different risks of developing SADR in hospitalized patients. For example, a child with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (100 points) and a 48-hour methotrexate serum concentration (≥0.14 μmol / L) (70 points) would have a corresponding score of 100 + 70 = 170, resulting in a Disease Risk of SADR > 0.80 (0.842).
[0069] Part VII Comparison of Logistic Regression Model and CART Decision Tree Model Based on ROC Curve
[0070] Draw the ROC curves of the two models ( Figure 4 ), the results showed that the AUC of the logistic regression model was greater than that of the CART decision tree model, with p < 0.001. The accuracy of the logistic regression model and the decision tree model was similar.
[0071] Part 8 Nomogram Validation
[0072] The ORC curve, C-index, calibration curve, and DCA curve show certain guiding significance in clinical practice.
[0073] The data set was divided into a training set (70%) and a validation set (30%). The performance of the nomogram prediction model was evaluated using the training set, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of the training set was 0.874 (95% confidence interval: 0.796–0.953) ( Figure 5The C index is 0.875, indicating good discrimination ability. The calibration curve of the training set shows good consistency between the predicted probability and the actual observation results, as shown in the calibration curve ( Figure 6 ) The calibration curve of the validation set is the same as that of the training set. Clinical decision curve analysis (DCA) is used to evaluate the clinical application value of the nomogram, such as Figure 7 In summary, the nomogram showed a significant positive net benefit in predicting SADR, highlighting its important clinical value in SADR prediction.
[0074] Example 2
[0075] A nomogram-based method for identifying skin and mucosal lesions in ALL patients after HD-MTX treatment includes the following steps:
[0076] The first step is to collect raw data and obtain continuous variables;
[0077] The second step was to construct a logistic regression model: using the ROC curve in SPSS 26.0 software, continuous variables were converted into binary variables, which were then incorporated into the univariate logistic regression equation and the multivariate logistic regression equation to screen out the risk factors for skin and mucosal damage. The binary variables were classified according to the actual situation of skin and mucosal damage. When the input variable had skin and mucosal damage, it was classified as 1; when the input variable did not have skin and mucosal damage, it was classified as 0.
[0078] The third step was to construct a CART decision tree model: the CART algorithm was used in SPSS 26.0 software to analyze risk factors and establish a CART decision tree model to determine the conditions for the occurrence of skin and mucosal damage. The split node and significance test level in the CART decision tree model was 0.05, the maximum tree depth was 5 layers, the minimum sample size for parent nodes was 20, and the minimum sample size for child nodes was 15. The conditions for the occurrence of skin and mucosal damage were high-risk ALL patients with a 48-hour MTX blood concentration ≥ 0.14 μmol / L and receiving HD-MTX treatment. High-risk ALL patients were diagnosed according to the Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Diagnosis and Treatment Program (CCLG-ALL2018).
[0079] Step 4: Neural network analysis: SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the risk factors using a neural network. The importance value of the independent variable and the normalized importance value of each risk factor were obtained to determine the primary and secondary relationship of the risk factors. That is, high-risk ALL patients receiving HD-MTX treatment were the primary factor, and 48-hour MTX blood concentration ≥ 0.14 μmol / L was the secondary factor. The independent variable importance value of high-risk ALL patients receiving HD-MTX treatment was 0.613, and the normalized importance value was 100.0%. The independent variable importance value of 48-hour MTX blood concentration ≥ 0.14 μmol / L was 0.387, and the normalized importance value was 63.2%.
[0080] The fifth step is to construct a nomogram module: In R software, the nomogram is used to visualize the results of the Logistic regression model, CART decision tree model, and neural network analysis to obtain a nomogram module;
[0081] Step 6 Nomogram Warning:
[0082] 6.1 Define the patient's treatment type and blood drug concentration type, including:
[0083] The disease treatment type is divided into two groups: when the high-risk ALL patients receive HD-MTX treatment, the disease treatment type is 1; when the high-risk ALL patients do not receive HD-MTX treatment, or the intermediate-risk ALL patients receive HD-MTX treatment, or the low-risk patients receive HD-MTX treatment, the disease treatment type is 0;
[0084] The blood drug concentration type is divided into two groups: when the MTX blood drug concentration is ≥0.14 μmol / L at 48 hours, the blood drug concentration type is 1; when the MTX blood drug concentration is <0.14 μmol / L at 48 hours, the blood drug concentration type is 0;
[0085] 6.2 Input the treatment type and blood drug concentration type into the nomogram module. The nomogram module first scores the current patient's condition treatment type and blood drug concentration type separately, then sums them. Finally, the risk probability value is calculated based on the sum and the data results of the neural network multi-layer perception domain decision tree in SPSS26.0 software;
[0086] The 0.14 μmol / L was determined by the Youden index of the ROC curve; the ROC curve was based on the CCLG-ALL 2018 protocol, and 100 or more high-risk ALL patients meeting the symbol requirements were included. Their 48-hour MTX blood concentrations and skin and mucosal damage were statistically analyzed, and the Youden index was generated in SPSS26.0 software;
[0087] The ALL patients are minors aged ≤18 years old;
[0088] The continuous variables include 24-hour methotrexate blood concentration, 48-hour methotrexate blood concentration, 72-hour methotrexate blood concentration, body weight, age, methotrexate dosage, number of methotrexate administrations, folinate dosage, number of methotrexate administrations, and HD-MTX treatment regimen.
[0089] The risk factors were 48-hour MTX serum concentration and HD-MTX treatment regimen.
[0090] The disease treatment type score includes a score of 100 for high-risk ALL patients receiving HD-MTX treatment; a score of 0 for high-risk ALL patients not receiving HD-MTX treatment or children with non-high-risk ALL receiving HD-MTX treatment.
[0091] The blood drug concentration type score includes: when the MTX blood drug concentration in 48 hours is ≥0.14 μmol / L, the blood drug concentration score is 70; when the MTX blood drug concentration in 48 hours is <0.14 μmol / L, the blood drug concentration score is 0.
[0092] HD-MTX treatment for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia refers to MTX dose ≥ 0.5 g·m -2 .
[0093] The HD-MTX treatment regimens for ALL patients include: (1) HD-MTX+6-MP: HD-MTX combined with mercaptopurine; (2) HR-1′: HD-MTX combined with dexamethasone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and aspartase; (3) HR-2′: HD-MTX combined with dexamethasone, vindesine, ifosfamide, daunorubicin, and aspartase.
[0094] The method for detecting the MTX blood concentration is any one of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS / MS), fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA), enzyme amplified immunoassay (EMIT), and chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA).
[0095] The detection method of the MTX blood concentration is any one of HPLC, HPLC-MS / MS, FPIA, EMIT, and CMIA.
[0096] The risk probability includes: 48 hours after ALL patients are given HD-MTX, if the MTX blood concentration is less than the critical value, the risk probability of skin and mucosal damage is less than 6%; if the MTX blood concentration is greater than or equal to the critical value, the risk probability of skin and mucosal damage is greater than or equal to 85%.
[0097] The method for detecting the MTX serum concentration also includes any one of HPLC, HPLC-MS / MS, FPIA, and CMIA. The EMIT value is converted according to the method of Zhang Yuanyuan, Xu Kangkang. Comparative analysis of three detection methods for determining methotrexate blood concentration. Anhui Medicine, 2014, 18(2): 357-360.
[0098] The high-risk ALL patients or non-high-risk ALL patients are determined according to the Diagnosis and Treatment Program for Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (CCLG-ALL2018).
[0099] Example 3
[0100] Methods for using a nomogram to predict the incidence of skin and mucosal lesions in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia aged ≤18 years include:
[0101] (1) Diagnose the child's condition according to clinical standards and determine whether it is a high-risk condition;
[0102] (2) According to the CCLG-ALL 2018 protocol (e.g., HR-1′ and HR-2′) and the revised protocol, high-dose methotrexate was used, and half-dose hydration (1500-2000 ml / m2) was performed 1 day before HD-MTX treatment. 2 ) and alkalinization to make urine pH ≥7.
[0103] (3) High-risk children were given a dose of 5 g / m 2 ;
[0104] (4) At 24 hours after infusion, the serum MTX concentration was monitored using enzyme-enhanced immunosorbent assay; the CF rescue plan, hydration plan, and alkalinization plan were adjusted according to the MTX blood concentration;
[0105] (5) MTX serum concentration was monitored by enzyme-enhanced immunosorbent assay at 48 h after HD-MTX infusion;
[0106] (6) Nomogram module prediction: The obtained patient's condition and MTX serum concentration value 48 hours after HD-MTX administration are classified according to the condition treatment type and blood drug concentration type. If the condition treatment type is divided into two groups: high-risk ALL patients who receive HD-MTX treatment, the treatment type is 1; high-risk ALL patients who do not receive HD-MTX treatment or non-high-risk ALL patients who receive HD-MTX treatment, the treatment type is 0; if the blood drug concentration type is divided into two groups: when the 48-hour MTX blood drug concentration is ≥0.14μmol / L, the blood drug concentration type is 1; when the 48-hour MTX blood drug concentration is <0.14μmol / L, the blood drug concentration type is 0;
[0107] Then, the treatment type and blood drug concentration type are input into the nomogram module generated by R software. The nomogram module first scores the current patient's condition treatment type and blood drug concentration type separately, then sums them. Finally, based on the sum, the risk probability value is calculated using the data results obtained by the neural network multi-layer perception domain decision tree of SPSS26.0 software;
[0108] The risk probability statistics are as follows: if the serum MTX concentration of high-risk children is less than 0.14 μmol / L 48 hours after receiving HD-MTX treatment, the skin and mucosal injury rate is less than 6%; if the serum MTX concentration of high-risk children is ≥0.14 μmol / L 48 hours after receiving HD-MTX treatment, the skin and mucosal injury rate is ≥85%;
[0109] (7) Clinical recommendations: In traditional rescue plans, protective measures should be taken for high-risk children whose serum MTX concentration is ≥0.14 μmol / L 48 hours after receiving HD-MTX treatment. Specifically, immediate gargle with an appropriate amount of calcium folinate to prevent oral ulcers; oral therapeutic dose (10 ml, tid) of Kangfuxin solution to prevent gastrointestinal ulcers; and use of light iodine for perianal ulcers.
[0110] The traditional rescue plan is: when the 48h MTX blood concentration is >0.2μmol / L, continue to implement the CF rescue plan: when the 48h MTX blood concentration is >0.2μmol / L and less than or equal to 1.0μmol / L, give 15mg / m 2 Rescue dose for CF. When the 48h MTX blood concentration is >1.0μmol / L and ≤2.0μmol / L, give 30mg / m 2 Rescue dose for CF.

Claims
1. A nomogram-based method for identifying skin and mucosal lesions in ALL patients after HD-MTX treatment, characterized in that: The steps include: The first step is to collect raw data and obtain continuous variables; The second step was to construct a logistic regression model: Continuous variables were converted into binary variables using the ROC curve. These variables were then incorporated into the univariate and multivariate logistic regression equations to screen for risk factors for skin and mucosal injuries. The binary variables were classified based on the actual situation of skin and mucosal injuries. If the input variable indicated skin and mucosal injuries, the variable was assigned a 1; if the input variable did not indicate skin and mucosal injuries, the variable was assigned a 0. The third step is to construct a CART decision tree model: Using the CART algorithm to analyze risk factors, a CART decision tree model is established to determine the conditions for the occurrence of skin and mucosal damage. The CART decision tree model has a split node and significance test level of 0.05, a maximum tree depth of 5 layers, a minimum sample size of 20 for parent nodes, and a minimum sample size of 15 for child nodes. The conditions for the occurrence of skin and mucosal damage are high-risk ALL patients with a 48-hour MTX blood concentration ≥ 0.14 μmol / L who are receiving HD-MTX treatment. Step 4: Neural network analysis: Risk factors were analyzed using a neural network to obtain the independent variable importance value and normalized importance value of each risk factor, and the primary and secondary relationships of the risk factors were determined. That is, high-risk ALL patients receiving HD-MTX treatment were the primary factor, and 48-hour MTX blood concentration ≥ 0.14 μmol / L was the secondary factor.
