    TLDR The machine learning model accurately predicts Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Omani patients.
    The study designed a machine learning framework to predict Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in a cohort of 219 Omani patients, with 138 having SLE and 81 having other rheumatologic diseases. Using Recursive Feature Selection (RFE) and the CatBoost classification algorithm, the model achieved an AUC score of 0.95 and a Sensitivity of 92%. The SHAP algorithm identified alopecia, renal disorders, Acute Cutaneous Lupus, hemolytic anemia, and patient age as key predictive features. The framework provides explainable predictions validated by rheumatologists, enabling early intervention and improved healthcare outcomes.

      In this conversation, 4990 discussed various treatments for hair loss, including oral minoxidil, PRP, transplan, Jak inhibitors, Dutasteride, Finasteride, Olumiant, Ketoconazole, RU58841, microneedling, baricitinib, and CCCA. They recommended scalp biopsies in unclear cases of DUPA, twice weekly to twice daily shampooing for topical minoxidil users, and two sessions spaced one month apart with follow up at month three to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.

      How diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) is not an invitation to self-diagnose oneself with aggressive AGA and that seeking a specialized dermatologist may help people experiencing hair loss. Treatment options discussed include topical clobetasol propionate, oral minoxidil, and discontinuing finasteride.
