Machine learning prediction of neurocognitive impairment among people with HIV using clinical and multimodal magnetic resonance imaging data.

ABSTRACT: Diagnosis of HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment (NCI) continues to be a clinical challenge. The purpose of this study was to develop a prediction model for NCI among people with HIV using clinical- and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived features. The sample included 101 adults with chronic HIV disease. NCI was determined using a standardized neuropsychological testing battery comprised of seven domains. MRI features included gray matter volume from high-resolution anatomical scans and white matter integrity from diffusion-weighted imaging. Clinical features included demographics, substance use, and routine laboratory tests. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator Logistic regression was used to perform variable selection on MRI features. These features were subsequently used to train a support vector machine (SVM) to predict NCI. Three different classification tasks were performed: one used only clinical features; a second used only selected MRI features; a third used both clinical and selected MRI features. Model performance was evaluated by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity with a tenfold cross-validation. The SVM classifier that combined selected MRI with clinical features outperformed the model using clinical features or MRI features alone (AUC: 0.83 vs. 0.62 vs. 0.79; accuracy: 0.80 vs. 0.65 vs. 0.72; sensitivity: 0.86 vs. 0.85 vs. 0.86; specificity: 0.71 vs. 0.37 vs. 0.52). Our results provide preliminary evidence that combining clinical and MRI features can increase accuracy in predicting NCI and could be developed as a potential tool for NCI diagnosis in HIV clinical practice.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough there are many studies on the prognostic factors of left ventricular myocardial noncompaction (LVNC), the determinants are varied and not entirely consistent. This study aimed to build predictive models using radiomics features and machine learning to predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with LVNC.MethodsIn total, 96 patients with LVNC were included and randomly divided into training and test cohorts. A total of 105 cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived radiomics features and 35 clinical characteristics were extracted. Five different oversampling algorithms were compared for selection of the optimal imbalanced processing. Feature importance was assessed with extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). We compared the performance of 5 machine learning classification methods with different sample:feature ratios to determine the optimal hybrid classification strategy. Subsequently, radiomics, clinical, and combined radiomics-clinical models were developed and compared.ResultsThe machine learning pipeline included an adaptive synthetic (ADASYN) algorithm for imbalanced processing, XGBoost feature selection with a sample:feature ratio of 10, and support vector machine (SVM) modeling. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) of the radiomics model, clinical model, and combined model in the validation cohort were 0.87 (sensitivity 83.33%, specificity 64.29%), 0.65 (sensitivity 16.67%, specificity 78.57%), and 0.92 (specificity 33.33%, sensitivity 100.00%), respectively. The radiomics model performed similarly to the clinical and combined models (P=0.124 and P=0.621, respectively). The performance of the combined model was significantly better than that of the clinical model (P=0.003).ConclusionsThe machine learning-based cine CMR radiomics model performed well at predicting MACEs in patients with LVNC. Adding radiomics features offered incremental prognostic value over clinical factors alone.
