Predicting Anabolic Androgenic Steroid Doping among Specialized Health Care Patients with Elastic Net Regression Reveals Potential Laboratory Variables for “Patient Biological Passport”
The findings of this preliminary study suggest that AAS doping could be detected in clinical context using real-life longitudinal laboratory data. Further model development is encouraged, with added dimensions regarding the use of different AAS substances, length of doping use, and other background data that may further increase the diagnostic accuracy of these models.
