About this study

Official title: Using Machine Learning Algorithms to Develop a Risk Prediction Model for Phthalate-ester-induced Diseases and Suggestions for Improved Nursing Assessment

This exploratory study collected basic demographic and laboratory data from the Taiwan Biobank using artificial intelligence algorithms and applied data mining to identify the correlations between phthalate esters [di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, DEHP], lifestyle, and disease.

Read the detailed description

This study was designed as exploratory research. The Institutional Review Board and the Taiwan Biobank approved the study before it was conducted (Approval Number: TWBR11007-06). The data set included information from participants between 30 and 70 years old who were tested for PAEs between 2016 and 2022 (1337 cases). The data set includes (1) questionnaire responses, such as basic personal information, individual health behaviors, and female health issues; (2) physical examination results, such as body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, blood pressure, heart rate, pulmonary function, and bone mineral density; (3) blood and urine analyses results from blood tests, serology tests, hepatobiliary function tests, renal function tests, and urinalysis; and (4) data on PAE content of urine

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Risk assessment analysis of disease and PAEs

    (1) questionnaire responses, such as basic personal information, individual health behaviors, and female health issues; (2) physical examination results, such as body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, blood pressure, heart rate, pulmonary function, and bone mineral density; (3) blood and urine analyses results from blood tests, serology tests, hepatobiliary function tests, renal function tests, and urinalysis; and (4) data on PAE content of urine.

    Measured: 2022

  2. Artificial intelligence prediction model for diseases and PAEs

    to apply machine learning to establish the correlations between the environmental hormone PAE and high disease risk and suggest assessment items for nursing intervention.

    Measured: 2022

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Plasticizers, run by National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences at 2 sites in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Risk assessment analysis of disease and PAEs (time frame: 2022). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05892029, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jun 2023.
