| Abstract | Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an acute or chronic autoimmune skin disease. It has been reported that poor conditions of general health and increased mortality rates were observed in BP patients, while pathophysiologic reasons of these phenomena merit further investigation yet. In this paper we tried to investigate the co-morbid associations between bullous pemphigoid and various diseases, using a nationwide population-based medical database, NHIRD. 5,933 adult BP patients of ages >= 18 years were extracted from the NHIRD, accompanied with 17,712 age- and sex-matched control subjects. Thirty-one disorders were selected from the Charlson or Elixhauser index for which we tried to evaluate their respective associations with BP. The results obtained revealed that there existed co-morbid relationships between BP and various illnesses, especially for hemiplegia/paraplegia (odds ratio [OR] 8.71), dementia (OR 8.04), fluid electrolyte disorders (OR 6.6), cerebrovascular disease (OR 5.97), moderate/severe liver disease (OR 5.22), weight loss (OR 4.9), and psychoses (OR 4.64). Furthermore, using the study cohort as input data and the retrospective diagnosis records of the above-mentioned co-morbidities occurring within 24 months before onset of BP as features, we employed the algorithm of support vector machine (SVM) to generate the prediction model for onset of BP afterward. Subjects labeled as positive by the prediction model were about 9 times more likely than those as negative to actually develop BP. Accordingly, the prediction model created by SVM was valuable for physicians to screen patients with higher risk of BP. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
