Comparison and development of machine learning tools for the prediction of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health problem and cause of mortality worldwide. However, COPD in the early stage is usually not recognized and diagnosed. It is necessary to establish a risk model to predict COPD development. METHODS:A total of 441 COPD patients and 192 control subjects were recruited, and 101 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were determined using the MassArray assay. With 5 clinical features as well as SNPs, 6 predictive models were established and evaluated in the training set and test set by the confusion matrix AU-ROC, AU-PRC, sensitivity (recall), specificity, accuracy, F1 score, MCC, PPV (precision) and NPV. The selected features were ranked. RESULTS:Nine SNPs were significantly associated with COPD. Among them, 6 SNPs (rs1007052, OR?=?1.671, P?=?0.010; rs2910164, OR?=?1.416, P?

Project description:BackgroundUrinary protein quantification is critical for assessing the severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the current procedure for determining the severity of CKD is completed through evaluating 24-h urinary protein, which is inconvenient during follow-up.ObjectiveTo quickly predict the severity of CKD using more easily available demographic and blood biochemical features during follow-up, we developed and compared several predictive models using statistical, machine learning and neural network approaches.MethodsThe clinical and blood biochemical results from 551 patients with proteinuria were collected. Thirteen blood-derived tests and 5 demographic features were used as non-urinary clinical variables to predict the 24-h urinary protein outcome response. Nine predictive models were established and compared, including logistic regression, Elastic Net, lasso regression, ridge regression, support vector machine, random forest, XGBoost, neural network and k-nearest neighbor. The AU-ROC, sensitivity (recall), specificity, accuracy, log-loss and precision of each of the models were evaluated. The effect sizes of each variable were analysed and ranked.ResultsThe linear models including Elastic Net, lasso regression, ridge regression and logistic regression showed the highest overall predictive power, with an average AUC and a precision above 0.87 and 0.8, respectively. Logistic regression ranked first, reaching an AUC of 0.873, with a sensitivity and specificity of 0.83 and 0.82, respectively. The model with the highest sensitivity was Elastic Net (0.85), while XGBoost showed the highest specificity (0.83). In the effect size analyses, we identified that ALB, Scr, TG, LDL and EGFR had important impacts on the predictability of the models, while other predictors such as CRP, HDL and SNA were less important.ConclusionsBlood-derived tests could be applied as non-urinary predictors during outpatient follow-up. Features in routine blood tests, including ALB, Scr, TG, LDL and EGFR levels, showed predictive ability for CKD severity. The developed online tool can facilitate the prediction of proteinuria progress during follow-up in clinical practice.

Project description:BackgroundTelemonitoring of symptoms and physiological signs has been suggested as a means of early detection of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations, with a view to instituting timely treatment. However, algorithms to identify exacerbations result in frequent false-positive results and increased workload. Machine learning, when applied to predictive modelling, can determine patterns of risk factors useful for improving prediction quality.ObjectiveOur objectives were to (1) establish whether machine learning techniques applied to telemonitoring datasets improve prediction of hospital admissions and decisions to start corticosteroids, and (2) determine whether the addition of weather data further improves such predictions.MethodsWe used daily symptoms, physiological measures, and medication data, with baseline demography, COPD severity, quality of life, and hospital admissions from a pilot and large randomized controlled trial of telemonitoring in COPD. We linked weather data from the United Kingdom meteorological service. We used feature selection and extraction techniques for time series to construct up to 153 predictive patterns (features) from symptom, medication, and physiological measurements. We used the resulting variables to construct predictive models fitted to training sets of patients and compared them with common symptom-counting algorithms.ResultsWe had a mean 363 days of telemonitoring data from 135 patients. The two most practical traditional score-counting algorithms, restricted to cases with complete data, resulted in area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) estimates of 0.60 (95% CI 0.51-0.69) and 0.58 (95% CI 0.50-0.67) for predicting admissions based on a single day's readings. However, in a real-world scenario allowing for missing data, with greater numbers of patient daily data and hospitalizations (N=57,150, N+=55, respectively), the performance of all the traditional algorithms fell, including those based on 2 days' data. One of the most frequently used algorithms performed no better than chance. All considered machine learning models demonstrated significant improvements; the best machine learning algorithm based on 57,150 episodes resulted in an aggregated AUC of 0.74 (95% CI 0.67-0.80). Adding weather data measurements did not improve the predictive performance of the best model (AUC 0.74, 95% CI 0.69-0.79). To achieve an 80% true-positive rate (sensitivity), the traditional algorithms were associated with an 80% false-positive rate: our algorithm halved this rate to approximately 40% (specificity approximately 60%). The machine learning algorithm was moderately superior to the best symptom-counting algorithm (AUC 0.77, 95% CI 0.74-0.79 vs AUC 0.66, 95% CI 0.63-0.68) at predicting the need for corticosteroids.ConclusionsEarly detection and management of COPD remains an important goal given its huge personal and economic costs. Machine learning approaches, which can be tailored to an individual's baseline profile and can learn from experience of the individual patient, are superior to existing predictive algorithms and show promise in achieving this goal.Trial registrationInternational Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number ISRCTN96634935; http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN96634935 (Archived by WebCite at http://www.webcitation.org/722YkuhAz).

Project description:BackgroundRadiomics and artificial intelligence approaches have been developed to predict chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but it is still unclear which approach has the best performance. Therefore, we established five prediction models that employed deep-learning (DL) and radiomics-based machine-learning (ML) approaches to identify COPD on low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) images and compared the relative performance of the different models to find the best model for identifying COPD.MethodsThis retrospective analysis included 1,024 subjects (169 COPD patients and 855 control subjects) who underwent LDCT scans from August 2018 to July 2021. Five prediction models, including models that employed computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics features, chest CT images, quantitative lung density parameters, and demographic and clinical characteristics, were established to identify COPD by DL or ML approaches. Model 1 used CT-based radiomics features by ML method. Model 2 used a combination of CT-based radiomics features, lung density parameters, and demographic and clinical characteristics by ML method. Model 3 used CT images only by DL method. Model 4 used a combination of CT images, lung density parameters, and demographic and clinical characteristics by DL method. Model 5 used a combination of CT images, CT-based radiomics features, lung density parameters, and demographic and clinical characteristics by DL method. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, highest negative predictive values (NPVs), positive predictive values, and areas under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve of the five prediction models were compared to examine their performance. The DeLong test was used to compare the AUCs of the different models.ResultsIn total, 107 radiomics features were extracted from each subject's CT images, 17 lung density parameters were acquired by quantitative measurement, and 18 selected demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded in this study. Model 2 had the highest AUC [0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.64-0.82], while model 3 had the lowest AUC (0.65, 95% CI: 0.55-0.75) in the test set. Model 2 also had the highest sensitivity (0.84), the highest accuracy (0.81), and the highest NPV (0.36). In the test set, based on the AUC results, Model 2 significantly outperformed Model 1 (P=0.03).ConclusionsThe results showed that the identification ability of models that employ CT-based radiomics features combined with lung density parameters, and demographic and clinical characteristics using ML methods performed better than the chest CT image-based DL methods. ML methods are more suitable and beneficial for COPD identification.
