Patients with genetically confirmed hereditary recurrent fever (HRF) or with periodic fever, aphthosis, pharyngitis, and adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome already analyzed for the Eurofever classification criteria were used as disease controls. A decision tree approach was tested by randomly splitting the available data in a training set and in an internal test set. An alternative model using a classical regression model was also analyzed. An external validation for both approaches was performed on 123 patients recruited from four other centers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The decision tree model integrating clinical and genetic data identified 91% of patients with SURF. A decision tree model based solely on clinical variables identified up to 88% of patients with SURF. The logistic regression model including genetic tests exhibited an overall accuracy of 89.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] 81.1\u201394.7). In contrast, the logistic regression model exclusively based on clinical manifestations displayed an overall accuracy of 66.7% (95% CI 56.1\u201376.1). When the classification criteria including genetic tests were applied to the external validation cohort, the model demonstrated a strong discriminative power, with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 96.3% using the decision tree model and 88.0% with the logistic regression model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
