Abstract
Rhinology, allergy, and skull base surgery are fields primed for the integration and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI). The heterogeneity of the disease processes within these fields highlights the opportunity for AI to augment clinical care and promote personalized medicine. Numerous research studies have been published demonstrating the development and clinical potential of AI models within the field. Most describe in silico evaluation models without direct clinical implementation. The major themes of existing studies include diagnostic or clinical decisions support, clustering patients into specific phenotypes or endotypes, predicting post-treatment outcomes, and surgical planning.

Kim KH, Kang HK, Koo HW. Prediction of Intracranial Pressure in Patients with an Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Using Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter via Explainable Predictive Modeling. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2107. [PMID: 38610872 PMCID: PMC11012720 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13072107] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The objective of this investigation was to formulate a model for predicting intracranial pressure (ICP) by utilizing optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) during endovascular treatment for an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), incorporating explainable predictive modeling. Methods: ONSD measurements were conducted using a handheld ultrasonography device during the course of endovascular treatment (n = 126, mean age 58.82 ± 14.86 years, and female ratio 67.46%). The optimal ONSD threshold associated with an increased ICP was determined. Additionally, the association between ONSD and ICP was validated through the application of a linear regression machine learning model. The correlation between ICP and various factors was explored through the modeling. Results: With an ICP threshold set at 20 cmH2O, 82 patients manifested an increased ICP, with a corresponding ONSD of 0.545 ± 0.08 cm. Similarly, with an ICP threshold set at 25 cmH2O, 44 patients demonstrated an increased ICP, with a cutoff ONSD of 0.553 cm. Conclusions: We revealed a robust correlation between ICP and ONSD. ONSD exhibited a significant association and demonstrated potential as a predictor of ICP in patients with an ICP ≥ 25 cmH2O. The findings suggest its potential as a valuable index in clinical practice, proposing a reference value of ONSD for increased ICP in the institution.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pituitary adenoma surgery is a complex procedure due to critical adjacent neurovascular structures, variations in size and extensions of the lesions, and potential hormonal imbalances. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has demonstrated considerable potential in assisting neurosurgeons in decision-making, optimizing surgical outcomes, and providing real-time feedback. This scoping review comprehensively summarizes the current status of AI/ML technologies in pituitary adenoma surgery, highlighting their strengths and limitations. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Studies discussing the use of AI/ML in pituitary adenoma surgery were included. Eligible studies were grouped to analyze the different outcomes of interest of current AI/ML technologies. RESULTS Among the 2438 identified articles, 44 studies met the inclusion criteria, with a total of seventeen different algorithms utilized across all studies. Studies were divided into two groups based on their input type: clinicopathological and imaging input. The four main outcome variables evaluated in the studies included: outcome (remission, recurrence or progression, gross-total resection, vision improvement, and hormonal recovery), complications (CSF leak, readmission, hyponatremia, and hypopituitarism), cost, and adenoma-related factors (aggressiveness, consistency, and Ki-67 labeling) prediction. Three studies focusing on workflow analysis and real-time navigation were discussed separately. CONCLUSION AI/ML modeling holds promise for improving pituitary adenoma surgery by enhancing preoperative planning and optimizing surgical strategies. However, addressing challenges such as algorithm selection, performance evaluation, data heterogeneity, and ethics is essential to establish robust and reliable ML models that can revolutionize neurosurgical practice and benefit patients.

Intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage and residual tumors in endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma: risk analysis and nomogram development. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2023; 165:4131-4142. [PMID: 37966528 DOI: 10.1007/s00701-023-05830-0] [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: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery is the primary method used to treat pituitary adenomas (PAs) at present; however, this technique is associated with certain risks, including cerebrospinal fluid leakage (CFL) and residual tumors (RTs). In this study, we aimed to identify specific risk factors for intraoperative CFL (ioCFL) and postoperative RT in patients with pituitary adenoma and construct a corresponding nomogram for risk assessment. METHODS We collected a range of information from 782 patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal PA resection in the Department of Neurosurgery at Beijing Tiantan Hospital between 2019 and 2021. Patients were then randomly assigned to training and validation groups (in a 8:2 ratio) with R software. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were then used to screen variables related to ioCFL and RT. These variables were then used to construct a predictive nomogram. Finally, the accuracy of the nomogram was validated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models identified four risk factors for ioCFL (Hardy grade, tumor size, position, and consistency) and five risk factors for RT (operation time, tumor size, consistency, Knosp grade, and primary/recurrence type). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the ioCFL risk model was 0.666 and 0.697 for the training and validation groups, respectively. For RT, the AUCs for the two groups were 0.788 and 0.754, respectively. The calibration plots for the ioCFL and RT models showed high calibration quality and DCA analysis yielded excellent efficiency with regards to clinical decision making. CONCLUSION Tumor size, growth characteristics, and invasion location were identified as the main factors affecting intraoperative CFL and RT. With our novel nomogram, surgeons can identify high-risk patients according to preoperative and intraoperative tumor performance and reduce the probability of complications.

Park J, Golub D, White TG, Ruelle M, Quach ET, Yang K, Shah HA, Fastenberg JH, Eisenberg MB, Dehdashti AR. Anterior-posterior diameter is a key driver of resectability and complications for pituitary adenomas with suprasellar extension in endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery. Pituitary 2023; 26:629-641. [PMID: 37713155 DOI: 10.1007/s11102-023-01354-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As endoscopic transsphenoidal approaches are more routinely selected for progressively larger pituitary adenomas with parasellar extension, understanding potential anatomical factors that limit resection and contribute to complications is becoming increasingly important for tailoring a surgical approach. This study aimed to reevaluate existing predictive tools for resectability in pituitary adenomas specifically with suprasellar extension, and furthermore identify any additional measurable features that may be more useful in preoperative planning. METHODS A single-center retrospective chart review of adult patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas with suprasellar extension from 2015 to 2020 was performed. Preoperative MRIs were systematically assessed to assign a Knosp classification, a Zurich Pituitary Score (ZPS), and for dimensional measurements of the suprasellar aspect of the lesions. Univariate comparisons and multivariate regression models were employed to assess the influence of these factors on extent of resection and postoperative complications. RESULTS Of the 96 patients with suprasellar pituitary adenomas who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery, 74 patients (77%) had a gross total resection (GTR). Neither Knosp grade nor ZPS score, even when dichotomized, demonstrated an association with GTR (Knosp 3A-4 versus Knosp 0-2, p = 0.069; ZPS III-IV versus ZPS I-II, p = 0.079). Multivariate regression analysis identified suprasellar anterior-posterior tumor diameter (SSAP) as the only significant predictor of extent of resection in this cohort (OR 0.951, 95% CI 0.905-1.000, p = 0.048*). A higher SSAP also had the strongest association with intraoperative CSF leaks (p = 0.0012*) and an increased overall rate of postoperative complications (p = 0.002*). Further analysis of the regression model for GTR suggested an optimal cut point value for SSAP of 23.7 mm, above which predictability for failing to achieve GTR carried a sensitivity of 89% and a specificity of 41%. CONCLUSIONS This study is unique in its examination of endoscopic transsphenoidal surgical outcomes for pituitary adenomas with suprasellar extension. Our findings suggest that previously established grading systems based on lateral extension into the cavernous sinus lose their predictive value in lesions with suprasellar extension and, more specifically, with increasing suprasellar anterior-posterior diameter.
