To discern participant tolerance, recruits are exposed to intermediate environmental and exercise stresses, and their physiological responses, core temperature, and heart rate are monitored. When their physiological measures rise at a higher rate or exceed the upper levels of absolute values compared with other participants, heat intolerance (HI) is diagnosed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective:\u2003<\/jats:title>\n To develop a mathematical model to interpret HTT results and provide a quantitative estimate of the probability of heat tolerance (PHT).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design:\u2003<\/jats:title>\n Cross-sectional study.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Setting:\u2003<\/jats:title>\n Warrior Health Research Institute.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Patients or Other Participants:\u2003<\/jats:title>\n The HTT results of 175 random individuals tested after an episode of exertional heat illness were classified qualitatively and then divided into training (n = 112) and testing (n = 63) datasets. All individuals were male soldiers (age range = 18\u201322 years) who had sustained an episode of definitive or suspected exertional heat stroke.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcome Measure(s):\u2003<\/jats:title>\n Based on the decision algorithm used by the Israel Defense Forces for manual interpretation of the HTT, we designed a logistic regression model to predict the heat-tolerance state. The model used a time series of physiological measures (core temperature and heart rate) of individuals to predict the manually assigned diagnosis of HT or HI. It was initially fitted and then tested on 2 separate, random datasets. The model produced a single value, the PHT, and its predictive ability was demonstrated by prediction-density plots, receiver operating characteristic curve, contingency tables, and conventional screening test evaluation measures.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:\u2003<\/jats:title>\n According to prediction-density plots of the testing set, all HT patients had a PHT of 0.7 to 1. The receiver operating characteristic curve plot showed that PHT was an excellent predictor of the manual HT interpretations (area under the curve = 0.973). Using a cutoff probability of 0.5 for the diagnosis of HI, we found that PHT had sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 100%, 90%, and 92.06%, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:\u2003<\/jats:title>\n The PHT has the potential to be substituted for manual interpretation of the HTT and to serve in a variety of clinical and research applications.<\/jats:p>\n
