SPINA
SPINA
(Structure Parameter Inference Approach) is a method for
calculating constant structure parameters of endocrine
feedback control systems from hormone levels obtained in
vivo.
SPINA Carb is SPINA's second implementation. The
equations deliver biomarkers for insulin sensitivity (SPINA-GR) and
pancreatic beta cell function (SPINA-GBeta). Additionally, they provide
the basis for the calculation of a static disposition index (SPINA-DI) to estimate
the loop gain of the feedback control system.
The methodology has been validated in four cohorts. It could be
demonstrated in several clinical studies that it has higher validity, reliability
and diagnostic utility than alternative approaches.
