Abstract
In the State Budgetary Institution of Public Health of the Novosibirsk Region (Russian Federation) "Clinical City Hospital No. 1" (Regional Vascular Center), a calculator for stratification of the total risk of cardiovascular complications after acute myocardial infarction was invented. In a recent open Non-Randomized Parallel Group Study, an approach has been developed for determining the annual prognosis of a patient with myocardial infarction. The calculation of "personal coefficients of risk factors" allows assessing the significance of each factor in a particular patient, personifying rehabilitation and secondary prevention. This innovative approach solves the problem of low reproducibility of numerous prognostic risk scales TIMI, GRACE, PURSUIT, CADILLAC, RECORD. A significant drawback and the reason for the low information content of many assessment methods is that they were developed on the basis of the European and American populations without taking into account the specific factors of the countries of Eastern Europe, the CIS and the Russian Federation that affect the prognosis of patients with ACS.
Keywords: calculator; stratification of total risk of cardiovascular complications; acute myocardial infarction.
Description
The study included 1,000 patients admitted with STEMI in the Department of Myocardial Infarction at the Regional Vascular Center within the period from November 2017 to September 2018. In which 724 (72.4%) were male and 276 (27.6%) were female with an average age (57.5 ± 9.5) years. The diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction was established by a set of criteria in accordance with the Fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction. The study included patients with myocardial infarction type 1 according to the clinical classification of this definition. The points of reference are: 1st - the day of admission to the hospital, 2nd - the day of discharge, 3rd - 12 months after the development of MI. At all three stages of the study (reference points), a general clinical examination was conducted using an assessment of complaints and clinical status. In addition a laboratory examination with a general and biochemical blood test, a general urinaly-sis, an ECG (on the day of admission at the prehospital stage and / or upon admission to the hospital), X-Ray of chest organs. Echocardiography (Echo-CG) was performed during hospitalization (5-10 days) and after 12 months using the Esaot Maylab 90 diagnostic complex
for ultrasound studies in accordance with the recommendations of the American Echocardiographic Society.
Selective coronary angiography was carried out in accordance to the method of F. M. Sones (1959) and M. Judkins (1967), on days 1-3 from the development of symptoms of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) using an Allura CV20 angiographic device from Philips with image fixation on a computer. The risk assessment of unfavorable hospital outcomes was carried out using the TIMI (Thrombolisis In Myocardial Infarction) scale for STEMI - TIMI Risk Score STEMI (Morrow DA, 2000) and GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events, 1999-2009): Grace Score 1.0, which allows to predict the risk of deaths at hospital stages with conservative tactics and a 6-month risk of adverse outcomes and an updated Grace Score 2.0, which allows assessing the one-year and three-year risk. Statistical analysis was carried out using the "Statistical Package for the Social Sciences" (SPSS), version 22.0 (2013) and a Microsoft Excel IBM spreadsheet, as well as using the author's odds ratio calculator with the advice of a Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Head of the Department of Applied Mathematics Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (NGASU), prof. Yu. E. Voskoboinikova.
Evaluating the information given by the GRACE scale in assessing a one-year risk of an adverse vascular event in patients with STEMI. It was found that in 55% of cases, patients at high risk on the GRACE scale did indeed have a fatal or non-fatal cardiovascular event during the observed period (1 year); in patients with intermediate risk, the prognosis was confirmed in 25% of the cases. Sensitivity coefficient = 0.39, specificity coefficient = 0.55. accuracy factor = 0.43
The calculator is a mathematical formula (regression model) programmed in an Excel spreadsheet processor, to determine the annual forecast of STEMI. The author's mathematical model of multivariate forecasting was first built. Correlation analysis of the data was
performed to quantify the relationship between these factors and outcomes. Of the 16 factors, the following six factors are significantly correlated with outcome (with variable numbers assigned to them):
X1 is the patient's age;
X2 - admission tachycardia;
X3 - left ventricular ejection fraction;
X4 - anterior localization of myocardial infarction;
X5 - fasting blood plasma glucose before discharge;
X6 is the BnCPn measured on admission.
The calculated pair correlation coefficients for these factors are shown in Table 1.

Note that these variables are weakly correlated with each other, and this prevents the appearance of the multicollinearity effect of the regression model, which negatively affects the accuracy of the calculated model coefficients. Therefore, all of the above variables can be included in the desired regression model.
Since the dependent variable Y - takes only two values (1 - an unfavorable outcome, a conventional designation of hh, 0 - a favorable outcome, a conventional designation of a BI), a logistic regression model was adopted as a mathematical model that calculates the probability of an unfavorable outcome.
In general terms, this model is defined by the expression:
pi X ) = -
1
1 + e
6
-zi X )
Where
It is obvious that the accurate characteristics of the regression model C depend on the choice of the
threshold value. The choice of this value will be discussed later.
For the variables defined above, the logistic model
is:
p i X ) = ■
1
[ßo +ßiXi +ß2X2 +ß3X3 +ß4 X4+ß5 X5 +ß6X6 ]
1 + e
Since the coefficients f are unknown, the corresponding estimates are calculated ô. for them and
the sample (experimental) logistic regression equation takes the form:
p i X )
1
_ [b0 +b1X1+b2X2+b3X3 +b4X4+b5X5 +b6X6
1 + e
z ( X ) = PQ + ; p. - un-
j=i иJ
known coefficients of the regression model; X. - independent variables (factors) of the model.
It can be seen that the value p(X) can vary from 0 ( z ( x ) = - œ ) to 1 ( z ( x ) = + œ ) and therefore
the value p(X) is interpreted as the probability of an unfavorable outcome.
To predict the values of a variable Y (0 or 1), the following rule is used:
Î0, если p(x) < C ;
11, если p( x) > Cp,
Where C - threshold value (0 < C < 1).
Where p (X) - assessment of the probability of an unfavorable outcome.
Typically, the least squares method is used to calculate beta scores. Unfortunately, the Excel spreadsheet processor does not have a built-in function that allows you to directly calculate beta scores, or to evaluate the precision of the calculated scores. Therefore, finding these estimates was carried out using the REGRESSION module of the statistical package IBM SPSS version 22, where this possibility exists.
To check the adequacy of the logistic model, three characteristics are used
- Sensitivity coefficient K - an assessment of
the probability of correct prediction of an unfavorable outcome;
- Coefficient of specificity Kcne - an assessment - Accuracy coefficient K - an assessment of
of the probability of correct prediction of a favorable the probability of correctly predicting an unfavorable outcome; outcome and correctly predicting a favorable outcome.
To calculate these coefficients, we will use the following four-field table (see table 2).
Table 2

HH (1) c - number of patients HH and prediction result EH d - number of patients HH and prediction result HH c + d - the total number of patients with HH
Then the coefficients of sensitivity and specificity
are calculated as follows: K = —

Obviously, the values of quantities c'd and consequently, the magnitude of the coefficients
depend on the threshold of
c
p value included in condition (2). How to choose this threshold? On the first hand, with underestimated values, we obtain highly sensitive prediction of hh or a high prediction with a small probability (risk) of missing hh, but this can lead to unreasonable treatment with the use of expensive drugs and possibly serious side effects. On the other hand, with c
overestimated values p, we obtain highly specific prediction, but the risk of missing hh with all the ensuing consequences increases. Therefore, the choice
c
of the threshold p value for prediction using a logistic model is of great importance. In literature, it's
c
recommended to choose the value p from the conK
dition of the maximum value moH . For this choice,
K
it is necessary to calculate the values moH at dif-
c
ferent values of the threshold value p. For this, the following calculations were performed.
Regression equations (1.4) were constructed using the REGRESSION module of the SPSS package for a spatial sample of 124 patients, and then, by
c
changing the threshold values p, the coefficient
k ( c )
moH ( p ' was calculated (as a function of the
c C
threshold p ), and then the value p at which the k ( c )
function moH p took the maximum value was found. Figure 3.7 shows the values of the function
k ( c )
moH ( p ). Graphically, it can be determined that
C = 0.35
for p , the accuracy coefficient takes the
maximum value. Note that the accuracy of such a
C
graphical calculation of p is quite sufficient for the practical construction of logistic models.

Let's move on to calculate the coefficients b . in the equation (1.4) of the logistic regression. To do this,
we turn to the REGRESSION module of the SPSS statistical package. The results of this module are shown in Figure 3.8 and in a more convenient form are shown in Table 3.

Considering another characteristic used in the analysis of the logistic model, called characteristic curve (or ROC-curve), which shows the dependence of the number of correct hh predictions on the number of incorrect hh predictions and is a locus of points in a Cartesian coordinate system with coordinates:
.W (Cp ) = Kye (),
Xroc (Cp ) = 1 - KcneH (CP)
which depend on the threshold value. The ideal predictive model should be T(G in Russian)-shaped and pass through the upper left corner with coordinates (0,1). The closer the characteristic curve goes to this point, the higher the prediction efficiency. Figure 4 shows the values.
The ROC curve for the model (1.10), which is below the ideal ROC curve, and this indicates the average quality of the logistic regression (3).
Figure 4- Logistic model ROC curve plot
The characteristic curve can be quantified by calculating the area under it - the AUC coefficient. Approximating the ROC curve with cubic splines and calculating the definite integral (area under ROC curve), we get a value equal to 0.780. The approximate scale of AUC values reflecting the quality of the prediction is as follows:
AUC = 0,9-1,0 - excellent quality;
AUC = 0,8-0,9 - high quality;
AUC = 0,7-0,8 - good quality;
AUC = 0,6-0,7 - medium quality;
AUC = 0,5-0,6 - bad quality.
It is observed that the constructed model is of good quality. Notice, that the ROC curve in the form of a straight dotted line in Figure 4 has an AUC = 0.5.
Conclusion: By generalizing the presented accuracy characteristics (k , k , k , AUC coef-

D
that this model is sufficiently effective to predict outcomes with unfavorable outcomes.
Verification of the adequacy of the constructed regression equation
Although the P-values given in Table 3 indicate the significance of the calculated coefficients, the adequacy of the constructed regression equation was checked, which included the following test.
A new spatial sample of 80 was formed from the database of outgoing patients of the cardiology department of the RSC No. 1 at the GBUZ NSO "GKB No. 1" in September 2019, and the calculation of the probability of an unfavorable outcome and the calculation of the outcome in accordance with the formula (1.9 ) (at Cp = 0.35). A fragment of the table is shown in Figure 5.

The data in the table allow us to conclude that the proposed predicting method is characterized by high sensitivity and acceptable specificity. Of the 80 examined patients with NSTE-ACS, adverse events within 12 months from the date of NSTE-ACS actually occurred in 30 people (according to the prognosis of the proposed method, it should have occurred in 22 people), there were no adverse events in 50 patients (of which, according to the proposed method should not have had in 33 people). Thus, the sensitivity of the proposed method for predicting unfavorable outcomes was 73%, favorable outcomes - 66%.
Thus, our multivariate model is more informative for predicting a favorable or unfavorable long-term outcome for a particular STEMI patient.
Conclusion: By generalizing the given accuracte

coefficient) of the constructed model (1.9), we can conclude that this model is sufficiently effective to predict outcomes with unfavorable outcomes.
Let's make one important remark. Although the constructed logistic regression equation can predict outcomes quite accurately, it does not calculate the "individual" contribution of each disease to this predicted outcome.
The coefficients of equation (1.9) are "averaged" coefficients of the influence of each disease (factor) on the outcome and not taking into account the characteristics of each patient. Obtaining such information about the impact of each disease on the outcome (especially the unfavorable results) would allow the development of an "individual" treatment plan for a particular patient, paying more attention to diseases that significantly affect the outcome.
To define such a disease, we introduce a function
determined by the formula:
F (x) = 0.047x + 0.462x2 +1.900x3 + 0.878x4 + 0.380x5 + 0.312x6
Note that lowercase letters denote specific (observed) values of the factors of a given patient, as opposed to capital letters in the model equation (1.9.), Which denote variables. Summing up the influence of all diseases of a given patient on the outcome allows us to name this function as the function of "severity of patient's risk factors" or "function TFRP". Denoting the value of this function for a particular patient as S and introduce the following "Personal disease coefficients", which reflect the relative contribution of each patient's disease to the value of the TEn function:

Discussion:
The developed method for assessing annual outcomes after acute myocardial infarction with persistent elevation of the ST segment on an ECG using an annual prognosis calculator with personal risk factor coefficients is of good quality (AUC coefficient is 0.780), while the GRACE risk model has a low predictive ability for high risk 55%, and for intermediate 25%, respectively.
As is known, clinical guidelines recommend the use of the TIMI and GRACE risk scales. Both scales are comparable for predicting inpatient mortality, and GRACE for STEMI also provides predictive value at 6 months after discharge. A number of researchers propose to include an assessment of LVEF, the presence of
multivessel disease, and the completeness of coronary revascularization.
This paper compares the results of assessing the one-year prognosis after a myocardial infarction using the author's "personal patient calculator" with the GRACE risk measurement. As already mentioned, the prognosis was confirmed in 55% of patients with high risk on the GRACE scale, and in patients with intermediate risk, the prognosis was confirmed in 25% of the cases. According to the author's calculator, the predicting accuracy was almost 79% for unfavorable results, and 70% for favorable results.
Thus, the proposed author's "personal patient calculator" is more informative for predicting a favorable or unfavorable long-term outcome for a patient with acute myocardial infarction. High informative content, specificity, sensitivity and accuracy of the author's method is due to the fact that he takes into account not
only cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction, like GRACE, but also stroke, hospitalizations due to repeated ischemia, unscheduled coronary and non-coronary revascularization, developed on the basis of a survey of Russian patients, taking into account a one-year period, and not just the first six months, like GRACE, since there is a high risk of a fatal and serious non-fatal event in patients after MI persists for a year. The proposed formula makes it possible to predict the contribution of each risk factor to a long-term outcome, which implies personalized work with each patient and modeling the outcome in terms of time and changing components of its prognosis.
The GRACE model has three levels of risk - high, moderate and low. It turns out that patients with a moderate risk of an unfavorable outcome are a group that is not very clear for a practitioner in terms of secondary prevention, and this is the main goal of risk metrics.
It should be noted that the proposed calculator is easy to use, as it is implemented in an Excel spreadsheet processor, so any practitioner can use it.
Conclusion:
This study demonstrates the role of the proprietary calculator for the annual prognosis of the risk of unfavorable cardiovascular events with personal coefficients of risk factors in patients after undergoing STEMI. The author's calculator was developed on the basis of data from Russian patients and takes into account a one-year period, and not only the first six months, as when using the GRACE scale, since a high risk of cardiovascular events in patients after STEMI persists for a year. The calculator takes into account the total cardiovascular risk: cardiovascular death, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for ischemia, unscheduled coronary and non-coronary revascu-larization. The proposed method allows you to personally simulate the outcome in real time for each patient, which ultimately will affect the quality of life in patients who have had myocardial infarction.

Abstract
A functional state is a complex of properties of an organism that determines the level of its vital activity. The construction of human functional structures is based on the laws of nature. The golden proportion is a universal natural law and the highest manifestation of the structural and functional perfection of the organism, and has properties and principles: self-development, self-organization and self-regulation, balance and stability. It is found in the anatomical and physiological parameters of the human body, is a method for finding an extremum in solving problems of their optimization. Proceeding from the fact that the functional state of the cardiovascular system is an integral indicator of the general state of the body and its adaptation, as a process of searching for the optimal functional state, we studied this indicator in 43 young people. At the same time, it was found that the subjects under conditions of functional rest and in a satisfactory state of compensatory-adaptive capabilities, i.e. in prenosological conditions, their adaptive potential lies in the range of two values of the golden proportions (F = 1.618; F2 = 2.618). Thus, the golden proportions form the boundaries of the functional corridor, outside of which there is a change in the prenosological state of the body, namely, with an adaptive potential of less than 1.618, a physiological norm takes place, and with more than 2.618, premorbid states. In this regard, it is proposed a scale for assessing the functional state, as well as an index of the likelihood of developing a premorbid state in an individual's body, based on the principles and constants of the golden ratio. The discriminatory ability and sensitivity of the proposed scale to the functional states of the organism were assessed.
Keywords: functional state, adaptive potential, health levels, golden ratio constants, harmonization, optimization, assessment scale.
The relevance of research
International standards for the provision of medical care provide for the implementation of preventive measures aimed at preventing the occurrence of diseases already at the stage of their initial manifestations. At the same time, the existing system of primary prevention is still devoid of the most important element -objectification of the assessment of the functional state of the body at the level of a pre-morbid state, when, as
a result of the inconsistency of the body's capabilities, the prerequisites for the development of the pathological process arise. Such a gap in the system of primary prevention is intended to fill the methodology of prenosological diagnostics, according to which the development of clinical forms of diseases is preceded by quite definite disorders of the functional state (FS) of the body, in which the nonspecific component of the general adaptation syndrome manifests itself in the
