RAYNAUD-WX: Weather-Based Raynaud Attack Frequency Prediction Using Published Temperature-Attack Correlations
We implement a weather-based Raynaud attack frequency estimator using published temperature-attack correlations (Herrick 2018, Pauling 2019). The model takes ambient temperature, humidity, wind chill, and patient-specific factors (primary vs secondary, calcium channel blocker use, digital ulcer history) to estimate daily attack probability. Correlations are from published observational studies. No patient data was used to derive the model.
RAYNAUD-WX
Model
Temperature-attack correlation from published data. Not a novel clinical discovery.
Limitations
- Correlation-based, not validated prospectively
- Individual variation is high
- Weather data granularity affects accuracy
