VALIDATION OF SCREENING MODEL FOR MENINGITIS: A REVIEW

Meningitis is a condition caused by the inflammation of the meninges. Meningitis can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and amebic. Interestingly some meningitis is infectious, while other is non-infectious. The non-infectious causes of meningitis are autoimmune illnesses, cancer/paraneoplastic syndromes, and medication responses. There are several risk factors associated with meningitis, like a defect in the dural, alcoholism, age, medical condition, some kind of exposure, and so on. Since meningitis is a serious and delicate condition, the need of several screening models is required to validate meningitis. These models depend on thematical calculations like regression models, multiple regression models, and logistic models, and some animal models are also there for meningitis. Hence, here we discussed meningitis and models briefly.
