Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for Elevated Arterial Stiffness in Chinese Patients With Diabetes Using Machine Learning.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Arterial stiffness assessed by pulse wave velocity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The incidence of cardiovascular events remains high in diabetics. However, a clinical prediction model for elevated arterial stiffness using machine learning to identify subjects consequently at higher risk remains to be developed.

Methods

Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination were used for feature selection. Four machine learning algorithms were used to construct a prediction model, and their performance was compared based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve metric in a discovery dataset (n = 760). The model with the best performance was selected and validated in an independent dataset (n = 912) from the Dryad Digital Repository (https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.m484p). To apply our model to clinical practice, we built a free and user-friendly web online tool.

Results

The predictive model includes the predictors: age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and body mass index. In the discovery cohort, the gradient boosting-based model outperformed other methods in the elevated arterial stiffness prediction. In the validation cohort, the gradient boosting model showed a good discrimination capacity. A cutoff value of 0.46 for the elevated arterial stiffness risk score in the gradient boosting model resulted in a good specificity (0.813 in the discovery data and 0.761 in the validation data) and sensitivity (0.875 and 0.738, respectively) trade-off points.

Conclusion

The gradient boosting-based prediction system presents a good classification in elevated arterial stiffness prediction. The web online tool makes our gradient boosting-based model easily accessible for further clinical studies and utilization.

Project description:BackgroundPostoperative pneumonia, a prevalent form of hospital-acquired pneumonia, poses significant risks to patients' prognosis and even their lives. This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for postoperative pneumonia in surgical patients using nine machine learning methods.ObjectiveOur study aims to develop and validate a predictive model for POP in surgical patients using nine machine learning algorithms. By evaluating the performance differences among these machine learning models, this study aims to assist clinicians in early prediction and diagnosis of POP, providing optimal interventions and treatments.MethodsRetrospective data from electronic medical records was collected for 264 patients diagnosed with postoperative pneumonia and 264 healthy control surgical patients. Through correlation screening, chi-square tests, and feature importance ranking, 47 variables were narrowed down to 5 potential predictive factors based on the main cohort of 528 patients. Nine machine learning models, including k-nearest neighbors, support vector machine, random forest, decision tree, gradient boosting machine, adaptive boosting, naive bayes, general linear model, and linear discriminant analysis, were developed and validated to predict postoperative pneumonia. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating curve, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. A distribution plot of feature importance and feature interaction was obtained to interpret the machine learning models.ResultsAmong 17,190 surgical patients, 264 (1.54%) experienced postoperative pneumonia, which resulted in adverse outcomes such as prolonged hospital stay, increased ICU admission rates, and mortality. We successfully established nine machine learning models for predicting postoperative pneumonia in surgical patients, with the general linear model demonstrating the best overall performance. The AUC of the general linear model on the testing set was 0.877, with an accuracy of 0.82, specificity of 0.89, sensitivity of 0.74, precision of 0.88, and F1 score of 0.80. Our study revealed that the duration of bed rest, unplanned re-operation, end-tidal CO2, postoperative albumin, and chest X-ray film were significant predictors of postoperative pneumonia.ConclusionOur study firstly demonstrated that the general linear model based on 5 common variables might predict postoperative pneumonia in the general surgical population.

Project description:BackgroundGestational diabetes (GDM) is prevalent and benefits from timely and effective treatment, given the short window to impact glycemic control. Clinicians face major barriers to choosing effectively among treatment modalities [medical nutrition therapy (MNT) with or without pharmacologic treatment (antidiabetic oral agents and/or insulin)]. We investigated whether clinical data at varied stages of pregnancy can predict GDM treatment modality.MethodsAmong a population-based cohort of 30,474 pregnancies with GDM delivered at Kaiser Permanente Northern California in 2007-2017, we selected those in 2007-2016 as the discovery set and 2017 as the temporal/future validation set. Potential predictors were extracted from electronic health records at different timepoints (levels 1-4): (1) 1-year preconception to the last menstrual period, (2) the last menstrual period to GDM diagnosis, (3) at GDM diagnosis, and (4) 1 week after GDM diagnosis. We compared transparent and ensemble machine learning prediction methods, including least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and super learner, containing classification and regression tree, LASSO regression, random forest, and extreme gradient boosting algorithms, to predict risks for pharmacologic treatment beyond MNT.ResultsThe super learner using levels 1-4 predictors had higher predictability [tenfold cross-validated C-statistic in discovery/validation set: 0.934 (95% CI: 0.931-0.936)/0.815 (0.800-0.829)], compared to levels 1, 1-2, and 1-3 (discovery/validation set C-statistic: 0.683-0.869/0.634-0.754). A simpler, more interpretable model, including timing of GDM diagnosis, diagnostic fasting glucose value, and the status and frequency of glycemic control at fasting during one-week post diagnosis, was developed using tenfold cross-validated logistic regression based on super learner-selected predictors. This model compared to the super learner had only a modest reduction in predictability [discovery/validation set C-statistic: 0.825 (0.820-0.830)/0.798 (95% CI: 0.783-0.813)].ConclusionsClinical data demonstrated reasonably high predictability for GDM treatment modality at the time of GDM diagnosis and high predictability at 1-week post GDM diagnosis. These population-based, clinically oriented models may support algorithm-based risk-stratification for treatment modality, inform timely treatment, and catalyze more effective management of GDM.
