GRU Neural Network Improved Bioimpedance Based Stroke Volume Estimation during Ergometry Stress Test.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the leading members of non-communicable diseases. An early diagnosis is essential for effective treatment, to reduce hospitalization time and health care costs. Nowadays, an exercise stress test on an ergometer is used to identify CVDs. To improve the accuracy of diagnostics, the hemodynamic status and parameters of a person can be investigated. For hemodynamic management, thoracic electrical bioimpedance has recently been used. This technique offers beat-to-beat stroke volume calculation but suffers from an artifact-sensitive signal that makes such measurements difficult during movement. We propose a new method based on a gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network and the ECG signal to improve the measurement of bioimpedance signals, reduce artifacts and calculate hemodynamic parameters. We conducted a study with 23 subjects. The new approach is compared to ensemble averaging, scaled Fourier linear combiner, adaptive filter, and simple neural networks. The GRU neural network performs better with single artifact events than shallow neural networks (mean error -0.0244, mean square error 0.0181 for normalized stroke volume). The GRU network is superior to other algorithms using time-correlated data for the exercise stress test.

Project description:BackgroundAccurate evaluation of glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) is of critical importance in clinical practice. A previous study showed that models based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) could achieve a better performance than traditional equations. However, large-sample cross-sectional surveys have not resolved questions about ANN performance.MethodsA total of 1,180 patients that had chronic kidney disease (CKD) were enrolled in the development data set, the internal validation data set and the external validation data set. Additional 222 patients that were admitted to two independent institutions were externally validated. Several ANNs were constructed and finally a Back Propagation network optimized by a genetic algorithm (GABP network) was chosen as a superior model, which included six input variables; i.e., serum creatinine, serum urea nitrogen, age, height, weight and gender, and estimated GFR as the one output variable. Performance was then compared with the Cockcroft-Gault equation, the MDRD equations and the CKD-EPI equation.ResultsIn the external validation data set, Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated that the precision of the six-variable GABP network was the highest among all of the estimation models; i.e., 46.7 ml/min/1.73 m(2) vs. a range from 71.3 to 101.7 ml/min/1.73 m(2), allowing improvement in accuracy (15% accuracy, 49.0%; 30% accuracy, 75.1%; 50% accuracy, 90.5% [P<0.001 for all]) and CKD stage classification (misclassification rate of CKD stage, 32.4% vs. a range from 47.3% to 53.3% [P<0.001 for all]). Furthermore, in the additional external validation data set, precision and accuracy were improved by the six-variable GABP network.ConclusionsA new ANN model (the six-variable GABP network) for CKD patients was developed that could provide a simple, more accurate and reliable means for the estimation of GFR and stage of CKD than traditional equations. Further validations are needed to assess the ability of the ANN model in diverse populations.
