Prediction model of ocular metastasis from primary liver cancer: Machine learning-based development and interpretation study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ocular metastasis (OM) is a rare metastatic site of primary liver cancer (PLC). The purpose of this study was to establish a clinical predictive model of OM in PLC patients based on machine learning (ML).

Methods

We retrospectively collected the clinical data of 1540 PLC patients and divided it into a training set and an internal test set in a 7:3 proportion. PLC patients were divided into OM and non-ocular metastasis (NOM) groups, and univariate logistic regression analysis was performed between the two groups. The variables with univariate logistic analysis p < 0.05 were selected for the ML model. We constructed six ML models, which were internally verified by 10-fold cross-validation. The prediction performance of each ML model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs). We also constructed a web calculator based on the optimal performance ML model to personalize the risk probability for OM.

Results

Six variables were selected for the ML model. The extreme gradient boost (XGB) ML model achieved the optimal differential diagnosis ability, with an area under the curve (AUC) = 0.993, accuracy = 0.992, sensitivity = 0.998, and specificity = 0.984. Based on these results, an online web calculator was constructed by using the XGB ML model to help clinicians diagnose and treat the risk probability of OM in PLC patients. Finally, the Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) library was used to obtain the six most important risk factors for OM in PLC patients: CA125, ALP, AFP, TG, CA199, and CEA.

Conclusion

We used the XGB model to establish a risk prediction model of OM in PLC patients. The predictive model can help identify PLC patients with a high risk of OM, provide early and personalized diagnosis and treatment, reduce the poor prognosis of OM patients, and improve the quality of life of PLC patients.

Project description:Background: Although gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) related ocular metastasis (OM) is rare, its occurrence indicates a more severe disease. We aimed to utilize machine learning (ML) to analyze the risk factors of GA-related OM and predict its risks. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 3532 GA patients were collected and randomly classified into training and validation sets in a ratio of 7:3. Those with or without OM were classified into OM and non-OM (NOM) groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were conducted. We integrated the variables identified through feature importance ranking and further refined the selection process using forward sequential feature selection based on random forest (RF) algorithm before incorporating them into the ML model. We applied six ML algorithms to construct the predictive GA model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve indicated the model's predictive ability. Also, we established a network risk calculator based on the best performance model. We used Shapley additive interpretation (SHAP) to identify risk factors and to confirm the interpretability of the black box model. We have de-identified all patient details. Results: The ML model, consisting of 13 variables, achieved an optimal predictive performance using the gradient boosting machine (GBM) model, with an impressive area under the curve (AUC) of 0.997 in the test set. Utilizing the SHAP method, we identified crucial factors for OM in GA patients, including LDL, CA724, CEA, AFP, CA125, Hb, CA153, and Ca2+. Additionally, we validated the model's reliability through an analysis of two patient cases and developed a functional online web prediction calculator based on the GBM model. Conclusion: We used the ML method to establish a risk prediction model for GA-related OM and showed that GBM performed best among the six ML models. The model may identify patients with GA-related OM to provide early and timely treatment.

Project description:BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a globally prevalent disease closely associated with hypertension. To date, no predictive model for OSA-related hypertension has been established. We aimed to use machine learning (ML) to construct a model to analyze risk factors and predict OSA-related hypertension.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively collected the clinical data of OSA patients diagnosed by polysomnography from October 2019 to December 2021 and randomly divided them into training and validation sets. A total of 1,493 OSA patients with 27 variables were included. Independent risk factors for the risk of OSA-related hypertension were screened by the multifactorial logistic regression models. Six ML algorithms, including the logistic regression (LR), the gradient boosting machine (GBM), the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), bootstrapped aggregating (Bagging), and the multilayer perceptron (MLP), were used to develop the model on the training set. The validation set was used to tune the model hyperparameters to determine the final prediction model. We compared the accuracy and discrimination of the models to identify the best machine learning algorithm for predicting OSA-related hypertension. In addition, a web-based tool was developed to promote its clinical application. We used permutation importance and Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) to determine the importance of the selected features and interpret the ML models.ResultsA total of 18 variables were selected for the models. The GBM model achieved the most extraordinary discriminatory ability (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.873, accuracy = 0.885, sensitivity = 0.713), and on the basis of this model, an online tool was built to help clinicians optimize OSA-related hypertension patient diagnosis. Finally, age, family history of hypertension, minimum arterial oxygen saturation, body mass index, and percentage of time of SaO2 < 90% were revealed by the SHAP method as the top five critical variables contributing to the diagnosis of OSA-related hypertension.ConclusionWe established a risk prediction model for OSA-related hypertension patients using the ML method and demonstrated that among the six ML models, the gradient boosting machine model performs best. This prediction model could help to identify high-risk OSA-related hypertension patients, provide early and individualized diagnoses and treatment plans, protect patients from the serious consequences of OSA-related hypertension, and minimize the burden on society.

Project description:BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is a major contributor to cancer-related mortality, with liver metastases developing in approximately 25% of affected individuals. The presence of liver metastasis significantly deteriorates the prognosis for patients. The objective of this study is to predict liver metastasis in CRC patients by developing machine learning (ML)-based models, thereby aiding clinicians in the decision-making process for appropriate interventions.MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, and cases with CRC from 2010 to 2015 were extracted to the downstream analysis. Logistic regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Categorical Boosting (CatBoost), and LightGBM are applied to develop machine learning (ML) models to predict liver metastasis of CRC patient. To optimize the models, an improved weight-balancing algorithm was employed, enhancing the performance of the classifiers. The six models were tenfold cross-validated, and the optimal model was selected based on a combination of performance metrics. Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) was utilized to interpret the best-performing ML models globally, locally, and interactively. To ensure the model's reliability and generalizability, an external validation cohort of CRC cases from 2018 to 2021, obtained from a separate SEER database, was used for external evaluation.ResultsIn total, 50,062 patients with CRC were included in the analysis, with 5604 patients occurring liver metastasis. Among the six models evaluated, the CatBoost model showed excellent performance with the highest AUC of 0.8844. Moreover, the CatBoost model also outperformed the others in terms of recall (0.8060) and F1-score (0.6736). SHAP-based summary and force plots were used to interpret the CatBoost model. The interpretability analysis revealed that elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels, systemic therapy, N and T stages, and chemotherapy performed were the most significant indicators for predicting liver metastasis according to the optimal model. Furthermore, systemic therapy was suggested to increase liver metastasis risk in N0 stage patients, while it appeared to be beneficial in patients with lymph node metastasis. Preoperative radiation therapy was found to be more effective than postoperative radiation therapy. Validation using an external cohort of CRC cases from 2018 to 2021 further confirmed the robustness and stability of the CatBoost model, as its overall performance remained consistent with the internal validation results.ConclusionElevated levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) have been identified as a crucial clinical predictor for liver metastasis in CRC patients. Furthermore, the administration of systemic therapy to patients who do not exhibit lymph node involvement has been found to increase the risk of liver metastasis. In terms of radiation therapy, preoperative radiation appears to be more efficacious in controlling the risk of liver metastasis compared to postoperative radiation. This finding underscores the importance of optimizing treatment strategies based on the specific clinical context and patient characteristics.
