With the growing frequency of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections linked to respiratory asthma (MP-RA), particularly in children, the quest for novel diagnostic molecular markers has become critical. We examined the link between serum immunoglobulin, inflammatory variables, vitamin A, and vitamin D levels in MP-RA patients and then found markedly diagnostic indicators. From January 2015 to March 2020, our hospital screened 55 cases of healthy control children (HC), 53 instances of mycoplasma pneumonia infection complicated with respiratory asthma (MP-RA), and 58 cases of non-respiratory asthma children for pneumonia mycoplasma infection (MP). Serum immunoglobulins, inflammatory markers, vitamin D, and vitamin A levels were analyzed, and a predictive model including the feature chosen in the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model was developed. Serum TNF- and IL-1b levels were greater in MP-RA children than in MP children, but 25(OH)D, IgG, and IgA levels were lower. Our findings verified the link between IgA, TNF-a, 25(OH)D, and vitamin A with MP-RA. In addition, TNF-a, IL-1b, 25(OH)D (Vit-D), IgG, and IgA were the predictors in the prediction nomogram, showing the combined influence of serum inflammation in MP-RA. C-index of 0.985 (95% CI: −1.25 to 1.68) shows high scaling ability and the model exhibits good discriminative capacity. With range validation, the high C-index value of 0.96 is still possible. TNF-a, IL-1b, 25(OH)D (Vit-D), IgG, and IgA were considered as predictors in children with MP-RA was investigated in this research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
