Machine learning-based diagnosis and prognosis of IgAN: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Plenty of studies have explored the diagnosis and prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) based on machine learning (ML), but the accuracy lacks the support of evidence-based medical evidence. We aim at this problem to guide the precision treatment of IgAN.

Methods

Embase, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched systematically until February 24th, 2024, for publications on ML-based diagnosis and prognosis of IgAN. Subgroup analysis or meta-regression was conducted according to modeling method, follow-up time, endpoint definition, and variable type. Further, the rank sum test was applied to compare the discrimination ability of prognosis.

Results

A total of 47 studies involving 51,935 patients were eligible. Among the 38 diagnostic models, the po
