Machine learning for morbid glomerular hypertrophy.

ABSTRACT: A practical research method integrating data-driven machine learning with conventional model-driven statistics is sought after in medicine. Although glomerular hypertrophy (or a large renal corpuscle) on renal biopsy has pathophysiological implications, it is often misdiagnosed as adaptive/compensatory hypertrophy. Using a generative machine learning method, we aimed to explore the factors associated with a maximal glomerular diameter of ≥ 242.3 μm. Using the frequency-of-usage variable ranking in generative models, we defined the machine learning scores with symbolic regression via genetic programming (SR via GP). We compared important variables selected by SR with those selected by a point-biserial correlation coefficient using multivariable logistic and linear regressions to validate di
