Construction and validation of a predictive model for sleep disorders among rural older adults with mild cognitive impairment.

A validated prediction model helps identify older rural adults at higher risk for sleep disorders during cognitive decline.

This predictive model development and internal validation study examined construction and validation of a predictive model for sleep disorders among rural older adults with mild cognitive impairment. The abstract reports that the nomogram demonstrated good discrimination (AUC = 0.759, 95%CI: 0.731-0.778) and calibration, with internal validation confirming robustness.
