Combination of clinical information and radiomics models for the differentiation of acute simple appendicitis and non simple appendicitis on CT images.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the radiomics models for the differentiation of simple and non-simple acute appendicitis. This study retrospectively included 334 appendectomy cases (76 simple and 258 non-simple cases) for acute appendicitis. These cases were divided into training (n = 106) and test cohorts (n = 228). A radiomics model was developed using the radiomic features of the appendix area on CT images as the input variables. A CT model was developed using the clinical and CT features as the input variables. A combined model was developed by combining the radiomics model and clinical information. These models were tested, and their performance was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curves and decision curve analysis (DCA). The variables independently associated with non-simple appendicit
