Nomogram prediction of caries risk among schoolchildren age 7 years based on a cohort study in Shanghai

Objective Caries risk assessment tools are essential for identifying and providing treatment for individuals at high risk of developing caries. We aimed to develop a nomogram for the assessment and evaluation of caries risk among Chinese children. Methods We enrolled schoolchildren age 7 years from...

We aimed to develop a nomogram for the assessment and evaluation of caries risk among Chinese children. Methods We enrolled schoolchildren age 7 years from a primary school in Shanghai. Baseline information of participants was collected using a questionnaire completed by children’s caregivers. A nomogram of a novel prediction scoring model was established based on predictors detected in univariate and multivariate analyses. Predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomogram were calculated using the concordance index (C index). The bootstrap method (1000 samples) was used to decrease overfitting.
