Abstract
Healthcare is experiencing a transformative phase, with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Physical therapists (PTs) stand on the brink of a paradigm shift in education, practice, and research. Rather than visualizing AI as a threat, it presents an opportunity to revolutionize. This paper examines how large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and BioMedLM, driven by deep ML can offer human-like performance but face challenges in accuracy due to vast data in PT and rehabilitation practice. PTs can benefit by developing and training an LLM specifically for streamlining administrative tasks, connecting globally, and customizing treatments using LLMs. However, human touch and creativity remain invaluable. This paper urges PTs to engage in learning and shaping AI models by highlighting the need for ethical use and human supervision to address potential biases. Embracing AI as a contributor, and not just a user, is crucial by integrating AI, fostering collaboration for a future in which AI enriches the PT field provided data accuracy, and the challenges associated with feeding the AI model are sensitively addressed.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by gradual loss of kidney function, necessitating timely monitoring and interventions. This systematic review comprehensively evaluates the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques for predicting CKD progression. A rigorous literature search identified 13 relevant studies employing diverse AI/ML algorithms, including logistic regression, support vector machines, random forests, neural networks, and deep learning approaches. These studies primarily aimed to predict CKD progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or the need for renal replacement therapy, with some focusing on diabetic kidney disease progression, proteinuria, or estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline. The findings highlight the promising predictive performance of AI/ML models, with several achieving high accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve scores. Key factors contributing to enhanced prediction included incorporating longitudinal data, baseline characteristics, and specific biomarkers such as estimated GFR, proteinuria, serum albumin, and hemoglobin levels. Integration of these predictive models with electronic health records and clinical decision support systems offers opportunities for timely risk identification, early interventions, and personalized management strategies. While challenges related to data quality, bias, and ethical considerations exist, the reviewed studies underscore the potential of AI/ML techniques to facilitate early detection, risk stratification, and targeted interventions for CKD patients. Ongoing research, external validation, and careful implementation are crucial to leveraging these advanced analytical approaches in clinical practice, ultimately improving outcomes and reducing the burden of CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At present, most articles mainly focused on the diagnosis of thyroid nodules by using artificial intelligence (AI), and there was little research on the detection performance of AI in thyroid nodules. OBJECTIVE To explore the value of a real-time AI based on computer-aided diagnosis system in the detection of thyroid nodules and to analyze the factors influencing the detection accuracy. METHODS From June 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023, 224 consecutive patients with 587 thyroid nodules were prospective collected. Based on the detection results determined by two experienced radiologists (both with more than 15 years experience in thyroid diagnosis), the detection ability of thyroid nodules of radiologists with different experience levels (junior radiologist with 1 year experience and senior radiologist with 5 years experience in thyroid diagnosis) and real-time AI were compared. According to the logistic regression analysis, the factors influencing the real-time AI detection of thyroid nodules were analyzed. RESULTS The detection rate of thyroid nodules by real-time AI was significantly higher than that of junior radiologist (P = 0.013), but lower than that of senior radiologist (P = 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that nodules size, superior pole, outside (near carotid artery), close to vessel, echogenicity (isoechoic, hyperechoic, mixed-echoic), morphology (not very regular, irregular), margin (unclear), ACR TI-RADS category 4 and 5 were significant independent influencing factors (all P < 0.05). With the combination of real-time AI and radiologists, junior and senior radiologist increased the detection rate to 97.4% (P < 0.001) and 99.1% (P = 0.015) respectively. CONCLUSONS The real-time AI has good performance in thyroid nodule detection and can be a good auxiliary tool in the clinical work of radiologists.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is characterized by bone abnormalities, vascular calcification, and some other complications. Although there are diagnostic criteria for CKD-MBD, in situations when conducting target feature examining are unavailable, there is a need to investigate and discover alternative biochemical criteria that are easy to obtain. Moreover, studying the correlations between the newly discovered biomarkers and the existing ones may provide insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of CKD-MBD. METHODS We collected a cohort of 116 individuals, consisting of three subtypes of CKD-MBD: calcium abnormality, phosphorus abnormality, and PTH abnormality. To identify the best biomarker panel for discrimination, we conducted six machine learning prediction methods and employed a sequential forward feature selection approach for each subtype. Additionally, we collected a separate prospective cohort of 114 samples to validate the discriminative power of the trained prediction models. RESULTS Using machine learning under cross validation setting, the feature selection method selected a concise biomarker panel for each CKD-MBD subtype as well as for the general one. Using the consensus of these features, best area under ROC curve reached up to 0.95 for the training dataset and 0.74 for the perspective dataset, respectively. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION For the first time, we utilized machine learning methods to analyze biochemical criteria associated with CKD-MBD. Our aim was to identify alternative biomarkers that could serve not only as early detection indicators for CKD-MBD, but also as potential candidates for studying the underlying molecular mechanisms of the condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Machine learning is increasingly recognized as a viable approach for identifying risk factors associated with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the current state of real-world research lacks a comprehensive systematic analysis of the predictive performance of machine learning (ML) models for DKD. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to systematically summarize the predictive capabilities of various ML methods in forecasting the onset and the advancement of DKD, and to provide a basic outline for ML methods in DKD. METHODS We have searched mainstream databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and MEDLINE databases to obtain the eligible studies. Subsequently, we categorized various ML techniques and analyzed the differences in their performance in predicting DKD. RESULTS Logistic regression (LR) was the prevailing ML method, yielding an overall pooled area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.83. On the other hand, the non-LR models also performed well with an overall pooled AUROC of 0.80. Our t-tests showed no statistically significant difference in predicting ability between LR and non-LR models (t = 1.6767, p > 0.05). CONCLUSION All ML predicting models yielded relatively satisfied DKD predicting ability with their AUROCs greater than 0.7. However, we found no evidence that non-LR models outperformed the LR model. LR exhibits high performance or accuracy in practice, while it is known for algorithmic simplicity and computational efficiency compared to others. Thus, LR may be considered a cost-effective ML model in practice.

Abstract
The study aims to develop AICare, an interpretable mortality prediction model, using electronic medical records (EMR) from follow-up visits for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. AICare includes a multichannel feature extraction module and an adaptive feature importance recalibration module. It integrates dynamic records and static features to perform personalized health context representation learning. The dataset encompasses 13,091 visits and demographic data of 656 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients spanning 12 years. An additional public dataset of 4,789 visits from 1,363 hemodialysis (HD) patients is also considered. AICare outperforms traditional deep learning models in mortality prediction while retaining interpretability. It uncovers mortality-feature relationships and variations in feature importance and provides reference values. An AI-doctor interaction system is developed for visualizing patients' health trajectories and risk indicators.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains one of the most prominent global causes of mortality worldwide, necessitating accurate prediction models for early detection and prevention. In recent years, machine learning (ML) techniques have exhibited promising outcomes across various medical applications. This study introduces a novel ML-driven monogram approach for early identification of individuals at risk for developing CKD stages 3-5. This retrospective study employed a comprehensive dataset comprised of clinical and laboratory variables from a large cohort of diagnosed CKD patients. Advanced ML algorithms, including feature selection and regression models, were applied to build a predictive model. Among 467 participants, 11.56% developed CKD stages 3-5 over a 9-year follow-up. Several factors, such as age, gender, medical history, and laboratory results, independently exhibited significant associations with CKD (p < 0.05) and were utilized to create a risk function. The Linear regression (LR)-based model achieved an impressive R-score (coefficient of determination) of 0.954079, while the support vector machine (SVM) achieved a slightly lower value. An LR-based monogram was developed to facilitate the process of risk identification and management. The ML-driven nomogram demonstrated superior performance when compared to traditional prediction models, showcasing its potential as a valuable clinical tool for the early detection and prevention of CKD. Further studies should focus on refining the model and validating its performance in diverse populations.

Abstract
Background The presented study tracks the increase or decrease in the prevalence of seventeen different chronic non-communicable diseases in Serbia. This analysis considers factors such as region, age, and gender and is based on data from two national cross-sectional studies conducted in 2013 and 2019. The research aims to accurately identify the regions with the highest percentage of affected individuals, as well as their respective age and gender groups. The ultimate goal is to facilitate organized, free preventive screenings for these population categories within a very short time-frame in the future. Materials and methods The study analyzed two cross-sectional studies conducted between 2013 and 2019, using data obtained from the Institute of Public Health of Serbia. Both studies involved a total of 27801 participants. The study compared the performance of Decision Tree and Support Vector Regressor models with artificial neural network (ANN) models that employed two encoding functions. The new methodology for the ANN-L36 model was based on artificial neural networks constructed using a Latin square (L36) design, incorporating Taguchi's robust design optimization. Results The results of the analysis from three different models have shown that cardiovascular diseases are the most prevalent illnesses among the population in Serbia, with hypertension as the leading condition in all regions, particularly among individuals aged 64 to 75 years, and more prevalent among females. In 2019, there was a decrease in the percentage of the leading disease, hypertension, compared to 2013, with a decrease from 34.0% to 32.2%. The ANN-L36 model with Fuzzy encoding function demonstrated the highest precision, achieving the smallest relative error of 0.1%. Conclusion To date, no studies have been conducted at the national level in Serbia to comprehensively track and identify chronic diseases in the manner proposed by this study. The model presented in this research will be implemented in practice and is set to significantly contribute to the future healthcare framework in Serbia, shaping and advancing the approach towards addressing these conditions. Furthermore, experimental evidence has shown that Taguchi's optimization approach yields the best results for identifying various chronic non-communicable diseases.

Abstract
Diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) mainly relies on screening the morphological variations and internal lesions of glomeruli from pathological kidney biopsy. The prominent pathological alterations of glomeruli for DKD include glomerular hypertrophy and nodular mesangial sclerosis. However, the qualitative judgment of these alterations is inaccurate and inconstant due to the intra- and inter-subject variability of pathologists. It is necessary to design artificial intelligence (AI) methods for accurate quantification of these pathological alterations and outcome prediction of DKD. In this work, we present an AI-driven framework to quantify the volume of glomeruli and degree of nodular mesangial sclerosis, respectively, based on an instance segmentation module and a novel weakly supervised Macro-Micro Aggregation (MMA) module. Subsequently, we construct classic machine learning models to predict the degree of DKD based on three selected pathological indicators via factor analysis. These corresponding modules are trained and tested on a total of 281 whole slide images (WSIs) digitized from two hospitals with different scanners. Our designed AI framework achieved inspiring results with 0.926 mIoU for glomerulus segmentation, and 0.899 F1 score for glomerulus classification in the external testing dataset. Meantime, the visualized results of the MMA module could reflect the location of the lesions. The performance of predicting disease achieved the F1 score of 0.917, which further proved the effectiveness of our AI-driven quantification of pathological indicators. Additionally, the interpretation of the machine learning model with the SHAP method showed similar accordance with the development of DKD in pathology. In conclusion, the proposed auxiliary diagnostic technologies have the feasibility for quantitative analysis of glomerular pathological tissues and alterations in DKD. Pathological quantitative indicators will also make it more convenient to provide doctors with assistance in clinical practice.

The automatic detection of diabetic kidney disease from retinal vascular parameters combined with clinical variables using artificial intelligence in type-2 diabetes patients. BMC Med Inform Decis Mak 2023; 23:241. [PMID: 37904184 PMCID: PMC10617171 DOI: 10.1186/s12911-023-02343-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has become the largest cause of end-stage kidney disease. Early and accurate detection of DKD is beneficial for patients. The present detection depends on the measurement of albuminuria or the estimated glomerular filtration rate, which is invasive and not optimal; therefore, new detection tools are urgently needed. Meanwhile, a close relationship between diabetic retinopathy and DKD has been reported; thus, we aimed to develop a novel detection algorithm for DKD using artificial intelligence technology based on retinal vascular parameters combined with several easily available clinical parameters in patients with type-2 diabetes. METHODS A total of 515 consecutive patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus from Xiangyang Central Hospital were included. Patients were stratified by DKD diagnosis and split randomly into either the training set (70%, N = 360) or the testing set (30%, N = 155) (random seed = 1). Data from the training set were used to develop the machine learning algorithm (MLA), while those from the testing set were used to validate the MLA. Model performances were evaluated. RESULTS The MLA using the random forest classifier presented optimal performance compared with other classifiers. When validated, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1 score, and AUC for the optimal model were 84.5%(95% CI 83.3-85.7), 84.5%(82.3-86.7), 84.5%(82.7-86.3), 0.845(0.831-0.859), and 0.914(0.903-0.925), respectively. CONCLUSIONS A new machine learning algorithm for DKD diagnosis based on fundus images and 8 easily available clinical parameters was developed, which indicated that retinal vascular changes can assist in DKD screening and detection.

Abstract
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most popular debilitating impairment of diabetes and it progresses symptom-free until a sudden loss of vision occurs. Understanding the progression of DR is a pressing issue in clinical research and practice. In this systematic review of articles on Machine Learning (ML) based risk prediction models for DR progression, ever since the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for DR detection, there have been more cross-sectional studies with different algorithms of use of AI, there haven't been many longitudinal studies for the AI based risk prediction models. This paper proposes a novel review to fill in the gaps identified in current reviews and facilitate other researchers with current research solutions for developing AI-based risk prediction models for DR progression and closely related problems; synthesize the current results from these studies and identify research challenges, limitations and gaps to inform the selection of machine learning techniques and predictors to build novel prediction models. Additionally, this paper suggested six (6) deep AI-related technical and critical discussion of the adopted strategies and approaches. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology was employed to gather relevant studies. We searched IEEE Xplore, PubMed, Springer Link, Google Scholar, and Science Direct electronic databases for papers published from January 2017 to 30th April 2023. Thirteen (13) studies were chosen on the basis of their relevance to the review questions and satisfying the selection criteria. However, findings from the literature review exposed some critical research gaps that need to be addressed in future research to improve on the performance of risk prediction models for DR progression.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence and machine learning have led to prominent and spectacular innovations in various scenarios. Application in medicine, however, can be challenging due to privacy concerns and strict legal regulations. Methods that centralize knowledge instead of data could address this issue. In this work, 6 different decentralized machine learning algorithms are applied to 12-lead ECG classification and compared to conventional, centralized machine learning. The results show that state-of-the-art federated learning leads to reasonable losses of classification performance compared to a standard, central model (-0.054 AUROC) while providing a significantly higher level of privacy. A proposed weighted variant of federated learning (-0.049 AUROC) and an ensemble (-0.035 AUROC) outperformed the standard federated learning algorithm. Overall, considering multiple metrics, the novel batch-wise sequential learning scheme performed best (-0.036 AUROC to baseline). Although, the technical aspects of implementing them in a real-world application are to be carefully considered, the described algorithms constitute a way forward towards preserving-preserving AI in medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Periapical radiographs are oftentimes taken in series to display all teeth present in the oral cavity. Our aim was to automatically assemble such a series of periapical radiographs into an anatomically correct status using a multi-modal deep learning model. METHODS 4,707 periapical images from 387 patients (on average, 12 images per patient) were used. Radiographs were labeled according to their field of view and the dataset split into a training, validation, and test set, stratified by patient. In addition to the radiograph the timestamp of image generation was extracted and abstracted as follows: A matrix, containing the normalized timestamps of all images of a patient was constructed, representing the order in which images were taken, providing temporal context information to the deep learning model. Using the image data together with the time sequence data a multi-modal deep learning model consisting of two residual convolutional neural networks (ResNet-152 for image data, ResNet-50 for time data) was trained. Additionally, two uni-modal models were trained on image data and time data, respectively. A custom scoring technique was used to measure model performance. RESULTS Multi-modal deep learning outperformed both uni-modal image-based learning (p<0.001) and time-based learning (p<0.05). The multi-modal deep learning model predicted tooth labels with an F1-score, sensitivity and precision of 0.79, respectively, and an accuracy of 0.99. 37 out of 77 patient datasets were fully correctly assembled by multi-modal learning; in the remaining ones, usually only one image was incorrectly labeled. CONCLUSIONS Multi-modal modeling allowed automated assembly of periapical radiographs and outperformed both uni-modal models. Dental machine learning models can benefit from additional data modalities. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Like humans, deep learning models may profit from multiple data sources for decision-making. We demonstrate how multi-modal learning can assist assembling periapical radiographs into an anatomically correct status. Multi-modal learning should be considered for more complex tasks, as clinically a wealth of data is usually available and could be leveraged.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) refers to impairment of the kidneys that may worsen over time. Early detection of CKD is crucial for saving millions of lives. As a result, several studies are currently focused on developing computer-aided systems to detect CKD in its early stages. Manual screening is time-consuming and subject to personal judgment. Therefore, methods based on machine learning (ML) and automatic feature selection are used to support graders. The goal of feature selection is to identify the most relevant and informative subset of features in a given dataset. This approach helps mitigate the curse of dimensionality, reduce dimensionality, and enhance model performance. The use of natural-inspired optimization algorithms has been widely adopted to develop appropriate representations of complex problems by conducting a blackbox optimization process without explicitly formulating mathematical formulations. Recently, snake optimization algorithms have been developed to identify optimal or near-optimal solutions to difficult problems by mimicking the behavior of snakes during hunting. The objective of this paper is to develop a novel snake-optimized framework named CKD-SO for CKD data analysis. To select and classify the most suitable medical data, five machine learning algorithms are deployed, along with the snake optimization (SO) algorithm, to create an extremely accurate prediction of kidney and liver disease. The end result is a model that can detect CKD with 99.7% accuracy. These results contribute to our understanding of the medical data preparation pipeline. Furthermore, implementing this method will enable health systems to achieve effective CKD prevention by providing early interventions that reduce the high burden of CKD-related diseases and mortality.

Abstract
Objective Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been reported as a main microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. Although renal biopsy is capable of distinguishing DKD from Non Diabetic kidney disease(NDKD), no gold standard has been validated to assess the development of DKD.This study aimed to build an auxiliary diagnosis model for type 2 Diabetic kidney disease (T2DKD) based on machine learning algorithms. Methods Clinical data on 3624 individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) was gathered from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 using a multi-center retrospective database. The data fell into a training set and a validation set at random at a ratio of 8:2. To identify critical clinical variables, the absolute shrinkage and selection operator with the lowest number was employed. Fifteen machine learning models were built to support the diagnosis of T2DKD, and the optimal model was selected in accordance with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy. The model was improved with the use of Bayesian Optimization methods. The Shapley Additive explanations (SHAP) approach was used to illustrate prediction findings. Results DKD was diagnosed in 1856 (51.2 percent) of the 3624 individuals within the final cohort. As revealed by the SHAP findings, the Categorical Boosting (CatBoost) model achieved the optimal performance 1in the prediction of the risk of T2DKD, with an AUC of 0.86 based on the top 38 characteristics. The SHAP findings suggested that a simplified CatBoost model with an AUC of 0.84 was built in accordance with the top 12 characteristics. The more basic model features consisted of systolic blood pressure (SBP), creatinine (CREA), length of stay (LOS), thrombin time (TT), Age, prothrombin time (PT), platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR), albumin (ALB), glucose (GLU), fibrinogen (FIB-C), red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation (RDW-SD), as well as hemoglobin A1C(HbA1C). Conclusion A machine learning-based model for the prediction of the risk of developing T2DKD was built, and its effectiveness was verified. The CatBoost model can contribute to the diagnosis of T2DKD. Clinicians could gain more insights into the outcomes if the ML model is made interpretable.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods are currently widely employed in medicine and healthcare. A PubMed search returns more than 100,000 articles on these topics published between 2018 and 2022 alone. Notwithstanding several recent reviews in various subfields of AI and ML in medicine, we have yet to see a comprehensive review around the methods' use in longitudinal analysis and prediction of an individual patient's health status within a personalized disease pathway. This review seeks to fill that gap. After an overview of the AI and ML methods employed in this field and of specific medical applications of models of this type, the review discusses the strengths and limitations of current studies and looks ahead to future strands of research in this field. We aim to enable interested readers to gain a detailed impression of the research currently available and accordingly plan future work around predictive models for deterioration in health status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Large amounts of healthcare data are now generated via patient health records, records of diagnosis and treatment, smart devices, and wearables. Extracting insights from such data can transform healthcare from a traditional, symptom-driven practice into precisely personalized medicine. Dialysis treatments generate a vast amount of data, with more than 100 parameters that must be regulated for ideal treatment outcomes. When complications occur, understanding electrolyte parameters and predicting their outcomes to deliver the optimal dialysis dosing for each patient is a challenge. This study focused on refining dialysis dosing by utilizing emerging data from the growing number of dialysis patients to improve patients' quality of life and well-being. METHODS Exploratory data analysis and data prediction approaches were performed to gather insights from patients' vital electrolytes on how to improve the patients' dialysis dosing. Four predictive models were constructed to predict electrolyte levels through various dialysis parameters. RESULTS The decision tree model showed excellent performance and more accurate results than the support vector machine, linear regression, and neural network models. CONCLUSIONS The predictive models identified that pre-dialysis blood urea nitrogen, pre-weight, dry weight, anticoagulation, and sex had the most significant effects on electrolyte concentrations. Such models could fine-tune dialysis dosing levels for the growing number of dialysis patients to improve each patient's quality of life, life expectancy, and well-being, and to reduce costs, efforts, and time consumption for both patients and physicians. The study's results need to be validated on a larger scale.

Prediction of the risk of developing end-stage renal diseases in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus using artificial intelligence algorithms. BioData Min 2023; 16:8. [PMID: 36899426 PMCID: PMC10007785 DOI: 10.1186/s13040-023-00324-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) imposes a great burden on healthcare systems, and these patients experience higher long-term risks for developing end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Managing diabetic nephropathy becomes more challenging when kidney function starts declining. Therefore, developing predictive models for the risk of developing ESRD in newly diagnosed T2DM patients may be helpful in clinical settings. METHODS We established machine learning models constructed from a subset of clinical features collected from 53,477 newly diagnosed T2DM patients from January 2008 to December 2018 and then selected the best model. The cohort was divided, with 70% and 30% of patients randomly assigned to the training and testing sets, respectively. RESULTS The discriminative ability of our machine learning models, including logistic regression, extra tree classifier, random forest, gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and light gradient boosting machine were evaluated across the cohort. XGBoost yielded the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.953, followed by extra tree and GBDT, with AUC values of 0.952 and 0.938 on the testing dataset. The SHapley Additive explanation summary plot in the XGBoost model illustrated that the top five important features included baseline serum creatinine, mean serum creatine within 1 year before the diagnosis of T2DM, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, spot urine protein-to-creatinine ratio and female gender. CONCLUSIONS Because our machine learning prediction models were based on routinely collected clinical features, they can be used as risk assessment tools for developing ESRD. By identifying high-risk patients, intervention strategies may be provided at an early stage.

Abstract
Early stages of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) are difficult to diagnose in patients with type 2 diabetes. This work was aimed at identifying contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) perfusion parameters, a microcirculatory biomarker indicative of early DKD progression. CEUS kidney flash-replenishment data were acquired in control, insulin resistant and diabetic vervet monkeys (N = 16). By use of a mono-exponential model, time-intensity curve parameters related to blood volume (A), velocity (β) and flow rate (perfusion index [PI]) were extracted from 10 concentric kidney layers to study spatial perfusion patterns that could serve as strong indicators of disease. Mean squared error (MSE) was used to assess model performance. Features calculated from the perfusion parameters were inputs for the linear regression models to determine which features could distinguish between cohorts. The mono-exponential model performed well, with average MSEs (±standard deviation) of 0.0254 (±0.0210), 0.0321 (±0.0242) and 0.0287 (±0.0130) for the control, insulin resistant and diabetic cohorts, respectively. Perfusion index features, with blood pressure, were the best classifiers between cohorts (p < 0.05). CEUS has the potential to detect early microvascular changes, providing insight into disease-related structural changes in the kidney. The sensitivity of this technique should be explored further by assessing various stages of DKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The heterogeneity of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) complicated with renal diseases has not been fully understood in clinical practice. The purpose of the study was to propose potential predictive factors to identify diabetic kidney disease (DKD), nondiabetic kidney disease (NDKD), and DKD superimposed on NDKD (DKD + NDKD) in T2DM patients noninvasively and accurately. METHODS Two hundred forty-one eligible patients confirmed by renal biopsy were enrolled in this retrospective, analytical study. The features composed of clinical and biochemical data prior to renal biopsy were extracted from patients' electronic medical records. Machine learning algorithms were used to distinguish among different kidney diseases pairwise. Feature variables selected in the developed model were evaluated. RESULTS Logistic regression model achieved an accuracy of 0.8306 ± 0.0057 for DKD and NDKD classification. Hematocrit, diabetic retinopathy (DR), hematuria, platelet distribution width and history of hypertension were identified as important risk factors. Then SVM model allowed us to differentiate NDKD from DKD + NDKD with accuracy 0.8686 ± 0.052 where hematuria, diabetes duration, international normalized ratio (INR), D-Dimer, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were the top risk factors. Finally, the logistic regression model indicated that DD-dimer, hematuria, INR, systolic pressure, DR were likely to be predictive factors to identify DKD with DKD + NDKD. CONCLUSION Predictive factors were successfully identified among different renal diseases in type 2 diabetes patients via machine learning methods. More attention should be paid on the coagulation factors in the DKD + NDKD patients, which might indicate a hypercoagulable state and an increased risk of thrombosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the rising prevalence of diabetes, machine learning (ML) models have been increasingly used for prediction of diabetes and its complications, due to their ability to handle large complex data sets. This study aims to evaluate the quality and performance of ML models developed to predict microvascular and macrovascular diabetes complications in an adult Type 2 diabetes population. METHODS A systematic review was conducted in MEDLINE®, Embase®, the Cochrane® Library, Web of Science®, and DBLP Computer Science Bibliography databases according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) checklist. Studies that developed or validated ML prediction models for microvascular or macrovascular complications in people with Type 2 diabetes were included. Prediction performance was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). An AUC >0.75 indicates clearly useful discrimination performance, while a positive mean relative AUC difference indicates better comparative model performance. RESULTS Of 13 606 articles screened, 32 studies comprising 87 ML models were included. Neural networks (n = 15) were the most frequently utilized. Age, duration of diabetes, and body mass index were common predictors in ML models. Across predicted outcomes, 36% of the models demonstrated clearly useful discrimination. Most ML models reported positive mean relative AUC compared with non-ML methods, with random forest showing the best overall performance for microvascular and macrovascular outcomes. Majority (n = 31) of studies had high risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS Random forest was found to have the overall best prediction performance. Current ML prediction models remain largely exploratory, and external validation studies are required before their clinical implementation.

Abstract
Early detection of rapidly progressive kidney disease is key to improving the renal outcome and reducing complications in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to construct a 6-month machine learning (ML) predictive model for the risk of rapidly progressive kidney disease and the need for nephrology referral in adult patients with T2DM and an initial estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. We extracted patients and medical features from the electronic medical records (EMR), and the cohort was divided into a training/validation and testing data set to develop and validate the models on the basis of three algorithms: logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). We also applied an ensemble approach using soft voting classifier to classify the referral group. We used the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), precision, recall, and accuracy as the metrics to evaluate the performance. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) values were used to evaluate the feature importance. The XGB model had higher accuracy and relatively higher precision in the referral group as compared with the LR and RF models, but LR and RF models had higher recall in the referral group. In general, the ensemble voting classifier had relatively higher accuracy, higher AUROC, and higher recall in the referral group as compared with the other three models. In addition, we found a more specific definition of the target improved the model performance in our study. In conclusion, we built a 6-month ML predictive model for the risk of rapidly progressive kidney disease. Early detection and then nephrology referral may facilitate appropriate management.

Abstract
Diabetes is one of the fastest-growing non-communicable diseases, becoming an important public health concern worldwide as well as in China. Currently, China has the largest population living with diabetes. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a fast-growing field and its applications to diabetes could enable the delivery of better management services for people with diabetes. This perspective summarized the latest findings of digital technologies and AI use in the following areas of diabetes care, mainly including screening and risk predictions of diabetes and diabetic complications, precise monitoring and intervention combined with new technologies, and mobile health application in self-management support for people with diabetes. Challenges to promote further use of AI in diabetes care included data standardization and integration, performance of AI-based medical devices, motivation of patients, and sensitivity to privacy. In summary, although the AI applications in clinical practice is still at an early stage, we are moving toward a new paradigm for diabetes care with the rapid development and emerging application of AI.

Abstract
Intelligent models for predicting hemodialysis-related complications, i.e., hypotension and the deterioration of the quality or obstruction of the AV fistula, based on machine learning (ML) methods were established to offer early warnings to medical staff and give them enough time to provide pre-emptive treatment. A novel integration platform collected data from the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) at a dialysis center and inspection results from electronic medical records (EMR) to train ML algorithms and build models. The selection of the feature parameters was implemented using Pearson's correlation method. Then, the eXtreme Gradient Boost (XGBoost) algorithm was chosen to create the predictive models and optimize the feature choice. 75% of collected data are used as a training dataset and the other 25% are used as a testing dataset. We adopted the prediction precision and recall rate of hypotension and AV fistula obstruction to measure the effectiveness of the predictive models. These rates were sufficiently high at approximately 71%-90%. In the context of hemodialysis, hypotension and the deterioration of the quality or obstruction of the arteriovenous (AV) fistula affect treatment quality and patient safety and may lead to a poor prognosis. Our prediction models with high accuracies can provide excellent references and signals for clinical healthcare service providers. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement-With the integrated dataset collected from IoMT and EMR, the superior predictive results of our models for complications of hemodialysis patients are demonstrated. We believe, after enough clinical tests are implemented as planned, these models can assist the healthcare team in making appropriate preparations in advance or adjusting the medical procedures to avoid these adverseevents.

Abstract
Kidney stone disease (KSD) is a common illness caused by deposition of solid minerals formed inside the kidney. The disease prevalence varies, based on sociodemographic, lifestyle, dietary, genetic, gender, age, environmental and climatic factors, but has been continuously increasing worldwide. KSD is a highly recurrent disease, and the recurrence rate is about 11% within two years after the stone removal. Recently, machine learning has been widely used for KSD detection, stone type prediction, determination of appropriate treatment modality and prediction of therapeutic outcome. This review provides a brief overview of KSD and discusses how machine learning can be applied to diagnostics, therapeutics and prognostics in clinical management of KSD for better therapeutic outcome.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of kidney failure and is associated with substantial risk of cardiovascular disease, morbidity, and mortality. Traditionally, DKD prevention and management have focused on addressing hyperglycemia, hypertension, obesity, and renin-angiotensin system activation as important risk factors for disease. Over the last decade, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists have been shown to meaningfully reduce risk of diabetes-related kidney and cardiovascular complications. Additional agents demonstrating benefit in DKD such as non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and endothelin A receptor antagonists are further contributing to the growing arsenal of DKD therapies. With the availability of greater therapeutic options comes the opportunity to individually optimize DKD prevention and management. Novel applications of transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic/lipidomic technologies, as well as use of artificial intelligence and reinforced learning methods through consortia such as the Kidney Precision Medicine Project and focused studies in established cohorts hold tremendous promise for advancing our understanding and treatment of DKD. Specifically, enhanced understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying DKD pathophysiology may allow for the identification of new mechanism-based DKD subtypes and the development and implementation of targeted therapies. Implementation of personalized care approaches has the potential to revolutionize DKD care.

[PMID: 36411366 PMCID: PMC9678863 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-24562-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF) are the first and most frequent comorbidities associated with mortality risks in early-stage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, efficient screening and risk assessment strategies for identifying T2DM patients at high risk of developing CKD and/or HF (CKD/HF) remains to be established. This study aimed to generate a novel machine learning (ML) model to predict the risk of developing CKD/HF in early-stage T2DM patients. The models were derived from a retrospective cohort of 217,054 T2DM patients without a history of cardiovascular and renal diseases extracted from a Japanese claims database. Among algorithms used for the ML, extreme gradient boosting exhibited the best performance for CKD/HF diagnosis and hospitalization after internal validation and was further validated using another dataset including 16,822 patients. In the external validation, 5-years prediction area under the receiver operating characteristic curves for CKD/HF diagnosis and hospitalization were 0.718 and 0.837, respectively. In Kaplan-Meier curves analysis, patients predicted to be at high risk showed significant increase in CKD/HF diagnosis and hospitalization compared with those at low risk. Thus, the developed model predicted the risk of developing CKD/HF in T2DM patients with reasonable probability in the external validation cohort. Clinical approach identifying T2DM at high risk of developing CKD/HF using ML models may contribute to improved prognosis by promoting early diagnosis and intervention.

Machine Learning Models Predicting Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes and Mortality in Patients with Hyperkalemia. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14214614. [PMID: 36364890 PMCID: PMC9658112 DOI: 10.3390/nu14214614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Hyperkalemia is associated with increased risks of mortality and adverse clinical outcomes. The treatment of hyperkalemia often leads to the discontinuation or restriction of beneficial but potassium-increasing therapy such as renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors (RAASi) and high-potassium diet including fruits and vegetables. To date, limited evidence is available for personalized risk evaluation in this heterogeneous and multifactorial pathophysiological condition. We developed risk prediction models using extreme gradient boosting (XGB), multiple logistic regression (LR), and deep neural network. Models were derived from a retrospective cohort of hyperkalemic patients with either heart failure or chronic kidney disease stage ≥3a from a Japanese nationwide database (1 April 2008−30 September 2018). Studied outcomes included all-cause death, renal replacement therapy introduction (RRT), hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), and cardiovascular events within three years after hyperkalemic episodes. The best performing model was further validated using an external cohort. A total of 24,949 adult hyperkalemic patients were selected for model derivation and internal validation. A total of 1452 deaths (16.6%), 887 RRT (10.1%), 1,345 HHF (15.4%), and 621 cardiovascular events (7.1%) were observed. XGB outperformed other models. The area under receiver operator characteristic curves (AUROCs) of XGB vs. LR (95% CIs) for death, RRT, HHF, and cardiovascular events were 0.823 (0.805−0.841) vs. 0.809 (0.791−0.828), 0.957 (0.947−0.967) vs. 0.947 (0.936−0.959), 0.863 (0.846−0.880) vs. 0.838 (0.820−0.856), and 0.809 (0.784−0.834) vs. 0.798 (0.772−0.823), respectively. In the external dataset including 86,279 patients, AUROCs (95% CIs) for XGB were: death, 0.747 (0.742−0.753); RRT, 0.888 (0.882−0.894); HHF, 0.673 (0.666−0.679); and cardiovascular events, 0.585 (0.578−0.591). Kaplan−Meier curves of the high-risk predicted group showed a statistically significant difference from that of the low-risk predicted groups for all outcomes (p < 0.005; log-rank test). These findings suggest possible use of machine learning models for real-world risk assessment as a guide for observation and/or treatment decision making that may potentially lead to improved outcomes in hyperkalemic patients while retaining the benefit of life-saving therapies.

Abstract
In this narrative review, we focus on the application of artificial intelligence in the clinical history of patients with glomerular disease, digital pathology in kidney biopsy, renal ultrasonography imaging, and prediction of chronic kidney disease (CKD). With the development of natural language processing, the clinical history of a patient can be used to identify a computable phenotype. In kidney pathology, digital imaging has adopted innovative deep learning algorithms (DLAs) that can improve the predictive capability of the examined lesions. However, at this time, these applications can only be used in research because there is no recognized validation to replace the conventional diagnostic applications. Kidney ultrasonography, used in the clinical examination of patients, provides information about the progression of kidney damage. Machine learning algorithms (MLAs) with promising results for the early detection of CKD have been proposed, but, still, they are not solid enough to be incorporated into the clinical practice. A few tools for glomerulonephritis, based on MLAs, are available in clinical practice. They can be downloaded on computers and cellular phones but can only be applied to uniracial cohorts of patients. To improve their performance, it is necessary to organize large consortia with multiracial cohorts. Finally, in many studies MLA development has been carried out using retrospective cohorts. The performance of the models might differ in retrospective cohorts compared to real-world data. Therefore, the models should be validated in prospective external large cohorts.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Risk stratification for chronic kidney is becoming increasingly important as a clinical tool for both treatment and prevention measures. The goal of this review is to identify how machine learning tools contribute and facilitate risk stratification in the clinical setting. RECENT FINDINGS The two key machine learning paradigms to predictively stratify kidney disease risk are genomics-based and electronic health record based approaches. These methods can provide both quantitative information such as relative risk and qualitative information such as characterizing risk by subphenotype. SUMMARY The four key methods to stratify chronic kidney disease risk are genomics, multiomics, supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods. Polygenic risk scores utilize whole genome sequencing data to generate an individual's relative risk compared with the population. Multiomic methods integrate information from multiple biomarkers to generate trajectories and prognostic different outcomes. Supervised machine learning methods can directly utilize the growing compendia of electronic health records such as laboratory results and notes to generate direct risk predictions, while unsupervised machine learning methods can cluster individuals with chronic kidney disease into subphenotypes with differing approaches to care.

Abstract
AIMS We mainly evaluate retinal alterations in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, investigate the associations between retinal changes with AD biomarkers, and explore an optimal machine learning (ML) model for AD diagnosis based on retinal thickness. METHODS A total of 159 AD patients and 299 healthy controls were enrolled. The retinal parameters of each participant were measured using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Additionally, cognitive impairment severity, brain atrophy, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers were measured in AD patients. RESULTS AD patients demonstrated a significant decrease in the average, superior, and inferior quadrant peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer, macular retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL) thicknesses, as well as total macular volume (TMV) (all p < 0.05). Moreover, TMV was positively associated with Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores, IPL thickness was correlated negatively with the medial temporal lobe atrophy score, and the GCL thickness was positively correlated with CSF Aβ42 /Aβ40 and negatively associated with p-tau level. Based on the significantly decreased OCT variables between both groups, the XGBoost algorithm exhibited the best diagnostic performance for AD, whose four references, including accuracy, area under the curve, f1 score, and recall, ranged from 0.69 to 0.74. Moreover, the macular retinal thickness exhibited an absolute superiority for AD diagnosis compared with other enrolled variables in all ML models. CONCLUSION We identified the retinal alterations in AD patients and found that macular thickness and volume were associated with AD severity and biomarkers. Furthermore, we confirmed that OCT combined with ML could serve as a potential diagnostic tool for AD.

Abstract
Background: Some previous studies showed abnormal pathological and vascular changes in the retina of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, whether retinal microvascular density is a diagnostic indicator for AD remains unclear. Objective: This study evaluated the macular vessel density (m-VD) in the superficial capillary plexus and fovea avascular zone (FAZ) area in AD, explored their correlations with clinical parameters, and finally confirmed an optimal machine learning model for AD diagnosis. Methods: 77 patients with AD and 145 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. The m-VD and the FAZ area were measured using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in all participants. Additionally, AD underwent neuropsychological assessment, brain magnetic resonance imaging scan, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker detection, and APOE ɛ4 genotyping. Finally, the performance of machine learning algorithms based on the OCTA measurements was evaluated by Python programming language. Results: The m-VD was noticeably decreased in AD compared with HCs. Moreover, m-VD in the fovea, superior inner, inferior inner, nasal inner subfields, and the whole inner ring declined significantly in mild AD, while it was more serious in moderate/severe AD. However, no significant difference in the FAZ was noted between AD and HCs. Furthermore, we found that m-VD exhibited a significant correlation with cognitive function, medial temporal atrophy and Fazekas scores, and APOE ɛ4 genotypes. No significant correlations were observed between m-VD and CSF biomarkers. Furthermore, results revealed the Adaptive boosting algorithm exhibited the best diagnostic performance for AD. Conclusion: Macular vascular density could serve as a diagnostic biomarker for AD.

The efficacy of canagliflozin in diabetes subgroups stratified by data-driven clustering or a supervised machine learning method: a post hoc analysis of canagliflozin clinical trial data. Diabetologia 2022; 65:1424-1435. [PMID: 35802168 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-022-05748-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Data-driven diabetes subgroups have shown distinct clinical characteristics and disease progression, although there is a lack of evidence that this information can guide clinical decisions. We aimed to investigate whether diabetes subgroups, identified by data-driven clustering or supervised machine learning methods, respond differently to canagliflozin. METHODS We pooled data from five randomised, double-blinded clinical trials of canagliflozin at an individual level. We applied the coordinates from the All New Diabetics in Scania (ANDIS) study to form four subgroups: mild age-related diabetes (MARD); severe insulin-deficient diabetes (SIDD); mild obesity-related diabetes (MOD) and severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD). Machine learning models for HbA1c lowering (ML-A1C) and albuminuria progression (ML-ACR) were developed. The primary efficacy endpoint was reduction in HbA1c at 52 weeks. Concordance of a model was defined as the difference between predicted HbA1c and actual HbA1c decline less than 3.28 mmol/mol (0.3%). RESULTS The decline in HbA1c resulting from treatment was different among the four diabetes clusters (pinteraction=0.004). In MOD, canagliflozin showed a robust glucose-lowering effect at week 52, compared with other drugs, with least-squares mean of HbA1c decline [95% CI] being 6.6 mmol/mol (4.1, 9.2) (0.61% [0.38, 0.84]) for sitagliptin, 7.1 mmol/mol (4.7, 9.5) (0.65% [0.43, 0.87]) for glimepiride, and 9.8 mmol/mol (9.0, 10.5) (0.90% [0.83, 0.96]) for canagliflozin. This superiority persisted until 104 weeks. The proportion of individuals who achieved HbA1c <53 mmol/mol (<7.0%) was highest in sitagliptin-treated individuals with MARD but was similar among drugs in individuals with MOD. The ML-A1C model and the cluster algorithm showed a similar concordance rate in predicting HbA1c lowering (31.5% vs 31.4%, p=0.996). Individuals were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups using ML-ACR model according to their predicted progression risk for albuminuria. The effect of canagliflozin vs placebo on albuminuria progression differed significantly between the high-risk (HR 0.67 [95% CI 0.57, 0.80]) and low-risk groups (HR 0.91 [0.75, 1.11]) (pinteraction=0.016). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Data-driven clusters of individuals with diabetes showed different responses to canagliflozin in glucose lowering but not renal outcome prevention. Canagliflozin reduced the risk of albumin progression in high-risk individuals identified by supervised machine learning. Further studies with larger sample sizes for external replication and subtype-specific clinical trials are necessary to determine the clinical utility of these stratification strategies in sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor treatment. DATA AVAILABILITY The application for the clinical trial data source is available on the YODA website ( http://yoda.yale.edu/ ).

Van Vleck TT, Farrell D, Chan L. Natural Language Processing in Nephrology. Adv Chronic Kidney Dis 2022; 29:465-471. [PMID: 36253030 PMCID: PMC9586467 DOI: 10.1053/j.ackd.2022.07.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Revised: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Unstructured data in the electronic health records contain essential patient information. Natural language processing (NLP), teaching a computer to read, allows us to tap into these data without needing the time and effort of manual chart abstraction. The core first step for all NLP algorithms is preprocessing the text to identify the core words that differentiate the text while filtering out the noise. Traditional NLP uses a rule-based approach, applying grammatical rules to infer meaning from the text. Newer NLP approaches use machine learning/deep learning which can infer meaning without explicitly being programmed. NLP use in nephrology research has focused on identifying distinct disease processes, such as CKD, and extraction of patient-oriented outcomes such as symptoms with high sensitivity. NLP can identify patient features from clinical text associated with acute kidney injury and progression of CKD. Lastly, inclusion of features extracted using NLP improved the performance of risk-prediction models compared to models that only use structured data. Implementation of NLP algorithms has been slow, partially hindered by the lack of external validation of NLP algorithms. However, NLP allows for extraction of key patient characteristics from free text, an infrequently used resource in nephrology.

Abstract
AIM To construct predictive models of diabetes complications (DCs) by big data machine learning, based on electronic medical records. METHODS Six groups of DCs were considered: eye complications, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease, nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy. A supervised, tree-based learning approach (XGBoost) was used to predict the onset of each complication within 5 years (task 1). Furthermore, a separate prediction for early (within 2 years) and late (3-5 years) onset of complication (task 2) was performed. A dataset of 147.664 patients seen during 15 years by 23 centers was used. External validation was performed in five additional centers. Models were evaluated by considering accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the ROC curve (AUC). RESULTS For all DCs considered, the predictive models in task 1 showed an accuracy > 70 %, and AUC largely exceeded 0.80, reaching 0.97 for nephropathy. For task 2, all predictive models showed an accuracy > 70 % and an AUC > 0.85. Sensitivity in predicting the early occurrence of the complication ranged between 83.2 % (peripheral vascular disease) and 88.5 % (nephropathy). CONCLUSIONS Machine learning approach offers the opportunity to identify patients at greater risk of complications. This can help overcoming clinical inertia and improving the quality of diabetes care.

Abstract
Purpose We sought to analyze the visual outcome and systemic prognostic factors for diabetic vitrectomy and predicted outcomes using these factors. Methods This was a multicenter electronic medical records (EMRs) review study of 1504 eyes with type 2 diabetes that underwent vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy at 6 university hospitals. Demographics, laboratory results, intra-operative findings, and visual acuity (VA) values were analyzed and correlated with visual outcomes at 1 year after the vitrectomy. Prediction models for visual outcomes were obtained using machine learning. Results At 1 year, VA was 1.0 logarithm of minimal angle resolution (logMAR) or greater (poor visual outcome group) in 456 eyes (30%). Baseline visual acuity, duration of diabetes treatment, tractional membrane, silicone oil tamponade, smoking, and vitreous hemorrhage correlated with logMAR VA at 1 year (r = 0.450, −0.159, 0.221, 0.280, 0.067, and −0.105; all P ≤ 0.036). An ensemble decision tree model trained using all variables generated accuracy, specificity, F1 score (the harmonic means of which precision and sensitivity), and receiver-operating characteristic curve area under curve values of 0.77, 0.66, 0.85, and 0.84 for the prediction of poor visual outcomes at 1 year after vitrectomy. Conclusions Visual outcome after diabetic vitrectomy is associated with pre- and intra-operative findings and systemic factors. Poor visual outcome after diabetic vitrectomy was predictable using clinical factors. Intensive care in patients who are predicted to result in poor vision may limit vision loss resulting from type 2 diabetes. Translational Relevance This study demonstrates that a real world EMR big data could predict outcome after diabetic vitrectomy using clinical factors.

Abstract
Objective
To provide a review of prediction models that have been used to measure clinical or pathological progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Design
Scoping review.
Data sources
Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL and Scopus from the year 2011 to 17th February 2022.
Study selection
All English written studies that are published in peer-reviewed journals in any country, that developed at least a statistical or computational model that predicted the risk of CKD progression.
Data extraction
Eligible studies for full text review were assessed on the methods that were used to predict the progression of CKD. The type of information extracted included: the author(s), title of article, year of publication, study dates, study location, number of participants, study design, predicted outcomes, type of prediction model, prediction variables used, validation assessment, limitations and implications.
Results
From 516 studies, 33 were included for full-text review. A qualitative analysis of the articles was compared following the extracted information. The study populations across the studies were heterogenous and data acquired by the studies were sourced from different levels and locations of healthcare systems. 31 studies implemented supervised models, and 2 studies included unsupervised models. Regardless of the model used, the predicted outcome included measurement of risk of progression towards end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) of related definitions, over given time intervals. However, there is a lack of reporting consistency on details of the development of their prediction models.
Conclusions
Researchers are working towards producing an effective model to provide key insights into the progression of CKD. This review found that cox regression modelling was predominantly used among the small number of studies in the review. This made it difficult to perform a comparison between ML algorithms, more so when different validation methods were used in different cohort types. There needs to be increased investment in a more consistent and reproducible approach for future studies looking to develop risk prediction models for CKD progression.

Abstract
Objective The rate of diabetic complication progression varies across individuals and understanding factors that alter the rate of complication progression may uncover new clinical interventions for personalized diabetes management. Materials and Methods We explore how various machine learning (ML) models and types of electronic health records (EHRs) can predict fast versus slow onset of neuropathy, nephropathy, ocular disease, or cardiovascular disease using only patient data collected prior to diabetes diagnosis. Results We find that optimized random forest models performed best to accurately predict the diagnosis of a diabetic complication, with the most effective model distinguishing between fast versus slow nephropathy (AUROC = 0.75). Using all data sets combined allowed for the highest model predictive performance, and social history or laboratory alone were most predictive. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) model interpretation allowed for exploration of predictors of fast and slow complication diagnosis, including underlying biases present in the EHR. Patients in the fast group had more medical visits, incurring a potential informed decision bias. Discussion Our study is unique in the realm of ML studies as it leverages SHAP as a starting point to explore patient markers not routinely used in diabetes monitoring. A mix of both bias and biological processes is likely present in influencing a model’s ability to distinguish between groups. Conclusion Overall, model interpretation is a critical step in evaluating validity of a user-intended endpoint for a model when using EHR data, and predictors affected by bias and those driven by biologic processes should be equally recognized.

The Emerging Role of Implementing Machine Learning in Food Recommendation for Chronic Kidney Diseases Using Correlation Analysis. J FOOD QUALITY 2022.

Abstract
Kidneys are vital organs in the human body, and their effective functioning determines life quality. Chronic kidney illness is a kind of nephrotic syndrome in which the kidneys’ capacity to cope normally steadily deteriorates and remains asymptomatic for a long period as the disease progresses. An early CKD detection would help the patient recover faster and easier. Using an artificial intelligence system that can effectively aid in CKD detection in time and suggest the required food nutrition for its treatment and recovery would reap immense benefits for healthcare professionals as well as the patient. ML is a part of AI technology that has been used for effective medical development. This technology helps physicians in the accurate diagnosis of kidney disease and helps in effective treatment prediction by recommending required nutrition. The present research relates to the use of ML in proper kidney disease diagnosis and food recommendations for treatment accordingly. A correlation analysis has been done in this research to observe the strength of ML using the effective finding for renal malfunctioning and identifying the best food products that could help in its treatment and recovery. IBM SPSS version 26 has been used for this research. The correlation analysis has been done to observe the impact of eight independent variables that are age, gender, blood sugar, serum albumin, creatinine, potassium, bacteria, and pus secretion on the two dependent variables that are the risk of CKD occurrence and ML accuracy. The results have exposed that the autonomous values consist of a strong positive correlation with the dependent variable (
). The statistical significance values have proved that the dependent values are statistically significant (0.001). The value of ML accuracy at a 95% confidence level has been observed at 88.85%, and the CKD occurrence value is 86.95%. The results have proved that the ML algorithm detects the risk of CKD occurrence accurately in each stage via analyzing blood sugar, creatinine, and potassium levels. The result also shows that the risk of CKD enhances with an increase in age.

Classification of painful or painless diabetic peripheral neuropathy and identification of the most powerful predictors using machine learning models in large cross-sectional cohorts. BMC Med Inform Decis Mak 2022; 22:144.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To improve the treatment of painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) and associated co-morbidities, a better understanding of the pathophysiology and risk factors for painful DPN is required. Using harmonised cohorts (N = 1230) we have built models that classify painful versus painless DPN using quality of life (EQ5D), lifestyle (smoking, alcohol consumption), demographics (age, gender), personality and psychology traits (anxiety, depression, personality traits), biochemical (HbA1c) and clinical variables (BMI, hospital stay and trauma at young age) as predictors. METHODS The Random Forest, Adaptive Regression Splines and Naive Bayes machine learning models were trained for classifying painful/painless DPN. Their performance was estimated using cross-validation in large cross-sectional cohorts (N = 935) and externally validated in a large population-based cohort (N = 295). Variables were ranked for importance using model specific metrics and marginal effects of predictors were aggregated and assessed at the global level. Model selection was carried out using the Mathews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) and model performance was quantified in the validation set using MCC, the area under the precision/recall curve (AUPRC) and accuracy. RESULTS Random Forest (MCC = 0.28, AUPRC = 0.76) and Adaptive Regression Splines (MCC = 0.29, AUPRC = 0.77) were the best performing models and showed the smallest reduction in performance between the training and validation dataset. EQ5D index, the 10-item personality dimensions, HbA1c, Depression and Anxiety t-scores, age and Body Mass Index were consistently amongst the most powerful predictors in classifying painful vs painless DPN. CONCLUSIONS Machine learning models trained on large cross-sectional cohorts were able to accurately classify painful or painless DPN on an independent population-based dataset. Painful DPN is associated with more depression, anxiety and certain personality traits. It is also associated with poorer self-reported quality of life, younger age, poor glucose control and high Body Mass Index (BMI). The models showed good performance in realistic conditions in the presence of missing values and noisy datasets. These models can be used either in the clinical context to assist patient stratification based on the risk of painful DPN or return broad risk categories based on user input. Model's performance and calibration suggest that in both cases they could potentially improve diagnosis and outcomes by changing modifiable factors like BMI and HbA1c control and institute earlier preventive or supportive measures like psychological interventions.

Abstract
Kidney pathophysiology is often complex, nonlinear and heterogeneous, which limits the utility of hypothetical-deductive reasoning and linear, statistical approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Emerging evidence suggests that artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled decision support systems - which use algorithms based on learned examples - may have an important role in nephrology. Contemporary AI applications can accurately predict the onset of acute kidney injury before notable biochemical changes occur; can identify modifiable risk factors for chronic kidney disease onset and progression; can match or exceed human accuracy in recognizing renal tumours on imaging studies; and may augment prognostication and decision-making following renal transplantation. Future AI applications have the potential to make real-time, continuous recommendations for discrete actions and yield the greatest probability of achieving optimal kidney health outcomes. Realizing the clinical integration of AI applications will require cooperative, multidisciplinary commitment to ensure algorithm fairness, overcome barriers to clinical implementation, and build an AI-competent workforce. AI-enabled decision support should preserve the pre-eminence of wisdom and augment rather than replace human decision-making. By anchoring intuition with objective predictions and classifications, this approach should favour clinician intuition when it is honed by experience.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize modern society in all its aspects. Encouraged by the variety and vast amount of data that can be gathered from patients (e.g., medical images, text, and electronic health records), researchers have recently increased their interest in developing AI solutions for clinical care. Moreover, a diverse repertoire of methods can be chosen towards creating performant models for use in medical applications, ranging from disease prediction, diagnosis, and prognosis to opting for the most appropriate treatment for an individual patient. In this respect, the present paper aims to review the advancements reported at the convergence of AI and clinical care. Thus, this work presents AI clinical applications in a comprehensive manner, discussing the recent literature studies classified according to medical specialties. In addition, the challenges and limitations hindering AI integration in the clinical setting are further pointed out.

Background Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), one of the complications of diabetes in patients, leads to progressive loss of kidney function. Timely intervention is known to improve outcomes. Therefore, screening patients to identify high-risk populations is important. Machine learning classification techniques can be applied to patient datasets to identify high-risk patients by building a predictive model. Objective This study aims to identify a suitable classification technique for predicting DKD by applying different classification techniques to a DKD dataset and comparing their performance using WEKA machine learning software. Methods The performance of nine different classification techniques was analyzed on a DKD dataset with 410 instances and 18 attributes. Data preprocessing was carried out using the PartitionMembershipFilter. A 10-fold cross validation was performed on the dataset. The performance was assessed on the basis of the execution time, accuracy, correctly and incorrectly classified instances, kappa statistics (K), mean absolute error, root mean squared error, and true values of the confusion matrix. Results With an accuracy of 93.6585% and a higher K value (0.8731), IBK and random tree classification techniques were found to be the best performing techniques. Moreover, they also exhibited the lowest root mean squared error rate (0.2496). There were 15 false-positive instances and 11 false-negative instances with these prediction models. Conclusions This study identified IBK and random tree classification techniques as the best performing classifiers and accurate prediction methods for DKD.

Prediction of 3-year risk of diabetic kidney disease using machine learning based on electronic medical records. J Transl Med 2022; 20:143.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Established prediction models of Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) are limited to the analysis of clinical research data or general population data and do not consider hospital visits. Construct a 3-year diabetic kidney disease risk prediction model in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using machine learning, based on electronic medical records (EMR). METHODS Data from 816 patients (585 males) with T2DM and 3 years of follow-up at the PLA General Hospital. 46 medical characteristics that are readily available from EMR were used to develop prediction models based on seven machine learning algorithms (light gradient boosting machine [LightGBM], eXtreme gradient boosting, adaptive boosting, artificial neural network, decision tree, support vector machine, logistic regression). Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) was used to interpret the results of the best performing model. RESULTS The LightGBM model had the highest AUC (0.815, 95% CI 0.747-0.882). Recursive feature elimination with random forest and SHAP plot based on LightGBM showed that older patients with T2DM with high homocysteine (Hcy), poor glycemic control, low serum albumin (ALB), low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and high bicarbonate had an increased risk of developing DKD over the next 3 years. CONCLUSIONS This study constructed a 3-year DKD risk prediction model in patients with T2DM and normo-albuminuria using machine learning and EMR. The LightGBM model is a tool with potential to facilitate population management strategies for T2DM care in the EMR era.

Abstract
Kidney disease is a major public health concern that has only recently emerged. Toxins are removed from the body by the kidneys through urine. In the early stages of the condition, the patient has no problems, but recovery is difficult in the later stages. Doctors must be able to recognize this condition early in order to save the lives of their patients. To detect this illness early on, researchers have used a variety of methods. Prediction analysis based on machine learning has been shown to be more accurate than other methodologies. This research can help us to better understand global disparities in kidney disease, as well as what we can do to address them and coordinate our efforts to achieve global kidney health equity. This study provides an excellent feature-based prediction model for detecting kidney disease. Various machine learning algorithms, including k-nearest neighbors algorithm (KNN), artificial neural networks (ANN), support vector machines (SVM), naive bayes (NB), and others, as well as Re-cursive Feature Elimination (RFE) and Chi-Square test feature-selection techniques, were used to build and analyze various prediction models on a publicly available dataset of healthy and kidney disease patients. The studies found that a logistic regression-based prediction model with optimal features chosen using the Chi-Square technique had the highest accuracy of 98.75 percent. White Blood Cell Count (Wbcc), Blood Glucose Random (bgr), Blood Urea (Bu), Serum Creatinine (Sc), Packed Cell Volume (Pcv), Albumin (Al), Hemoglobin (Hemo), Age, Sugar (Su), Hypertension (Htn), Diabetes Mellitus (Dm), and Blood Pressure (Bp) are examples of these traits.
