Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radiology plays an integral role in fracture detection in the emergency department (ED). After hours, when there are fewer reporting radiologists, most radiographs are interpreted by ED physicians. A minority of these interpretations may miss diagnoses, which later require the callback of patients for further management. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been viewed as a potential solution to augment the shortage of radiologists after hours. We explored the efficacy of an AI solution in the detection of appendicular and pelvic fractures for adult radiographs performed after hours at a general hospital ED in Singapore, and estimated the potential monetary and non-monetary benefits. METHODS One hundred and fifty anonymised abnormal radiographs were retrospectively collected and fed through an AI fracture detection solution. The radiographs were re-read by two radiologist reviewers and their consensus was established as the reference standard. Cases were stratified based on the concordance between the AI solution and the reviewers' findings. Discordant cases were further analysed based on the nature of the discrepancy into overcall and undercall subgroups. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity and inter-rater reliability of the AI solution. RESULTS Ninety-two examinations were included in the final study radiograph set. The AI solution had a sensitivity of 98.9%, an accuracy of 85.9% and an almost perfect agreement with the reference standard. CONCLUSION An AI fracture detection solution has similar sensitivity to human radiologists in the detection of fractures on ED appendicular and pelvic radiographs. Its implementation offers significant potential measurable cost, manpower and time savings.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop a new simple and effective prognostic model using artificial intelligence (AI)-based chest radiograph (CXR) results to predict the outcomes of pneumonia. Patients aged > 18 years, admitted the treatment of pneumonia between March 2020 and August 2021 were included. We developed prognostic models, including an AI-based consolidation score in addition to the conventional CURB-65 (confusion, urea, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and age ≥ 65) and pneumonia severity index (PSI) for predicting pneumonia outcomes, defined as 30-day mortality during admission. A total of 489 patients, including 310 and 179 patients in training and test sets, were included. In the training set, the AI-based consolidation score on CXR was a significant variable for predicting the outcome (hazard ratio 1.016, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.001-1.031). The model that combined CURB-65, initial O2 requirement, intubation, and the AI-based consolidation score showed a significantly high C-index of 0.692 (95% CI 0.628-0.757) compared to other models. In the test set, this model also demonstrated a significantly high C-index of 0.726 (95% CI 0.644-0.809) compared to the conventional CURB-65 and PSI (p < 0.001 and 0.017, respectively). Therefore, a new prognostic model incorporating AI-based CXR results along with traditional pneumonia severity score could be a simple and useful tool for predicting pneumonia outcomes in clinical practice.

Abstract
Pneumonia is a multifaceted illness with a wide range of clinical manifestations, degree of severity and multiple potential causing microorganisms. Despite the intensive research of recent decades, community-acquired pneumonia remains the third-highest cause of mortality in developed countries and the first due to infections; and hospital-acquired pneumonia is the main cause of death from nosocomial infection in critically ill patients. Guidelines for management of this disease are available world wide, but there are questions which generate controversy, and the latest advances make it difficult to stay them up to date. A multidisciplinary approach can overcome these limitations and can also aid to improve clinical results. Spanish medical societies involved in diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia have made a collaborative effort to actualize and integrate last expertise about this infection. The aim of this paper is to reflect this knowledge, communicated in Fifth Pneumonia Day in Spain. It reviews the most important questions about this disorder, such as microbiological diagnosis, advances in antibiotic and sequential therapy, management of beta-lactam allergic patient, preventive measures, management of unusual or multi-resistant microorganisms and adjuvant or advanced therapies in Intensive Care Unit.

Lin YT, Lin KM, Wu KH, Lien F. Enhancing pneumonia prognosis in the emergency department: a novel machine learning approach using complete blood count and differential leukocyte count combined with CURB-65 score. BMC Med Inform Decis Mak 2024; 24:118. [PMID: 38702739 PMCID: PMC11069213 DOI: 10.1186/s12911-024-02523-1] [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: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumonia poses a major global health challenge, necessitating accurate severity assessment tools. However, conventional scoring systems such as CURB-65 have inherent limitations. Machine learning (ML) offers a promising approach for prediction. We previously introduced the Blood Culture Prediction Index (BCPI) model, leveraging solely on complete blood count (CBC) and differential leukocyte count (DC), demonstrating its effectiveness in predicting bacteremia. Nevertheless, its potential in assessing pneumonia remains unexplored. Therefore, this study aims to compare the effectiveness of BCPI and CURB-65 in assessing pneumonia severity in an emergency department (ED) setting and develop an integrated ML model to enhance efficiency. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted at a 3400-bed tertiary medical center in Taiwan. Data from 9,352 patients with pneumonia in the ED between 2019 and 2021 were analyzed in this study. We utilized the BCPI model, which was trained on CBC/DC data, and computed CURB-65 scores for each patient to compare their prognosis prediction capabilities. Subsequently, we developed a novel Cox regression model to predict in-hospital mortality, integrating the BCPI model and CURB-65 scores, aiming to assess whether this integration enhances predictive performance. RESULTS The predictive performance of the BCPI model and CURB-65 score for the 30-day mortality rate in ED patients and the in-hospital mortality rate among admitted patients was comparable across all risk categories. However, the Cox regression model demonstrated an improved area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.713 than that of CURB-65 (0.668) for in-hospital mortality (p<0.001). In the lowest risk group (CURB-65=0), the Cox regression model outperformed CURB-65, with a significantly lower mortality rate (2.9% vs. 7.7%, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The BCPI model, constructed using CBC/DC data and ML techniques, performs comparably to the widely utilized CURB-65 in predicting outcomes for patients with pneumonia in the ED. Furthermore, by integrating the CURB-65 score and BCPI model into a Cox regression model, we demonstrated improved prediction capabilities, particularly for low-risk patients. Given its simple parameters and easy training process, the Cox regression model may be a more effective prediction tool for classifying patients with pneumonia in the emergency room.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This timely review explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) management, emphasizing its relevance in predicting the risk of hospitalization. With CAP remaining a global public health concern, the review highlights the need for efficient and reliable AI tools to optimize resource allocation and improve patient outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS Challenges in CAP management delve into the application of AI in predicting CAP-related hospitalization risks, and complications, and mortality. The integration of AI-based risk scores in managing CAP has the potential to enhance the accuracy of predicting patients at higher risk, facilitating timely intervention and resource allocation. Moreover, AI algorithms reduce variability associated with subjective clinical judgment, promoting consistency in decision-making, and provide real-time risk assessments, aiding in the dynamic management of patients with CAP. SUMMARY The development and implementation of AI-tools for hospitalization in CAP represent a transformative approach to improving patient outcomes. The integration of AI into healthcare has the potential to revolutionize the way we identify and manage individuals at risk of severe outcomes, ultimately leading to more efficient resource utilization and better overall patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND. Chest radiography is an essential tool for diagnosing community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), but it has an uncertain prognostic role in the care of patients with CAP. OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning (DL) model to predict 30-day mortality from diagnosis among patients with CAP by use of chest radiographs to validate the performance model in patients from different time periods and institutions. METHODS. In this retrospective study, a DL model was developed from data on 7105 patients from one institution from March 2013 to December 2019 (3:1:1 allocation to training, validation, and internal test sets) to predict the risk of all-cause mortality within 30 days after CAP diagnosis by use of patients' initial chest radiographs. The DL model was evaluated in a cohort of patients diagnosed with CAP during emergency department visits at the same institution from January 2020 to March 2020 (temporal test cohort [n = 947]) and in two additional cohorts from different institutions (external test cohort A [n = 467], January 2020 to December 2020; external test cohort B [n = 381], March 2019 to October 2021). AUCs were compared between the DL model and an established risk prediction tool based on the presence of confusion, blood urea nitrogen level, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and age 65 years or older (CURB-65 score). The combination of CURB-65 score and DL model was evaluated with a logistic regression model. RESULTS. The AUC for predicting 30-day mortality was significantly larger (p < .001) for the DL model than for CURB-65 score in the temporal test set (0.77 vs 0.67). The larger AUC for the DL model than for CURB-65 score was not significant (p > .05) in external test cohort A (0.80 vs 0.73) or external test cohort B (0.80 vs 0.72). In the three cohorts, the DL model, in comparison with CURB-65 score, had higher (p < .001) specificity (range, 61-69% vs 44-58%) at the sensitivity of CURB-65 score. The combination of DL model and CURB-65 score, in comparison with CURB-65 score, yielded a significant increase in AUC in the temporal test cohort (0.77, p < .001) and external test cohort B (0.80, p = .04) and a nonsignificant increase in AUC in external test cohort A (0.80, p = .16). CONCLUSION. A DL-based model consisting of initial chest radiographs was predictive of 30-day mortality among patients with CAP with improved performance over CURB-65 score. CLINICAL IMPACT. The DL-based model may guide clinical decision-making in the care of patients with CAP.

Abstract
Community-acquired pneumonia represents the third-highest cause of mortality in industrialized countries and the first due to infection. Although guidelines for the approach to this infection model are widely implemented in international health schemes, information continually emerges that generates controversy or requires updating its management. This paper reviews the most important issues in the approach to this process, such as an aetiologic update using new molecular platforms or imaging techniques, including the diagnostic stewardship in different clinical settings. It also reviews both the Intensive Care Unit admission criteria and those of clinical stability to discharge. An update in antibiotic, in oxygen, or steroidal therapy is presented. It also analyzes the management out-of-hospital in CAP requiring hospitalization, the main factors for readmission, and an approach to therapeutic failure or rescue. Finally, the main strategies for prevention and vaccination in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts are reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A high mortality rate has always been observed in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU); however, there are few reported predictive models regarding the prognosis of this group of patients. This study aimed to screen for risk factors and assign a useful nomogram to predict mortality in these patients. METHODS As a developmental cohort, we used 455 patients with SCAP admitted to ICU. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for death. A mortality prediction model was built based on statistically significant risk factors. Furthermore, the model was visualized using a nomogram. As a validation cohort, we used 88 patients with SCAP admitted to ICU of another hospital. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated by analysis of the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration curve analysis, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Lymphocytes, PaO2/FiO2, shock, and APACHE II score were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in the development cohort. External validation results showed a C-index of 0.903 (95% CI 0.838-0.968). The AUC of model for the development cohort was 0.85, which was better than APACHE II score 0.795 and SOFA score 0.69. The AUC for the validation cohort was 0.893, which was better than APACHE II score 0.746 and SOFA score 0.742. Calibration curves for both cohorts showed agreement between predicted and actual probabilities. The results of the DCA curves for both cohorts indicated that the model had a high clinical application in comparison to APACHE II and SOFA scoring systems. CONCLUSIONS We developed a predictive model based on lymphocytes, PaO2/FiO2, shock, and APACHE II scores to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with SCAP admitted to the ICU. The model has the potential to help physicians assess the prognosis of this group of patients.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the clinical implications and prognostic value of artificial intelligence (AI)-based results for chest radiographs (CXR) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Patients who were admitted due to COVID-19 from September 2021 to March 2022 were retrospectively included. A commercial AI-based software was used to assess CXR data for consolidation and pleural effusion scores. Clinical data, including laboratory results, were analyzed for possible prognostic factors. Total O2 supply period, the last SpO2 result, and deterioration were evaluated as prognostic indicators of treatment outcome. Generalized linear mixed model and regression tests were used to examine the prognostic value of CXR results. Among a total of 228 patients (mean 59.9 ± 18.8 years old), consolidation scores had a significant association with erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein changes, and initial consolidation scores were associated with the last SpO2 result (estimate -0.018, p = 0.024). All consolidation scores during admission showed significant association with the total O2 supply period and the last SpO2 result. Early changing degree of consolidation score showed an association with deterioration (odds ratio 1.017, 95% confidence interval 1.005-1.03). In conclusion, AI-based CXR results for consolidation have potential prognostic value for predicting treatment outcomes in COVID-19 patients.

Prediction of oxygen requirement in patients with COVID-19 using a pre-trained chest radiograph xAI model: efficient development of auditable risk prediction models via a fine-tuning approach. Sci Rep 2022; 12:21164. [PMID: 36476724 PMCID: PMC9729627 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-24721-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Risk prediction requires comprehensive integration of clinical information and concurrent radiological findings. We present an upgraded chest radiograph (CXR) explainable artificial intelligence (xAI) model, which was trained on 241,723 well-annotated CXRs obtained prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for detection of 20 radiographic features was 0.955 (95% CI 0.938-0.955) on PA view and 0.909 (95% CI 0.890-0.925) on AP view. Coexistent and correlated radiographic findings are displayed in an interpretation table, and calibrated classifier confidence is displayed on an AI scoreboard. Retrieval of similar feature patches and comparable CXRs from a Model-Derived Atlas provides justification for model predictions. To demonstrate the feasibility of a fine-tuning approach for efficient and scalable development of xAI risk prediction models, we applied our CXR xAI model, in combination with clinical information, to predict oxygen requirement in COVID-19 patients. Prediction accuracy for high flow oxygen (HFO) and mechanical ventilation (MV) was 0.953 and 0.934 at 24 h and 0.932 and 0.836 at 72 h from the time of emergency department (ED) admission, respectively. Our CXR xAI model is auditable and captures key pathophysiological manifestations of cardiorespiratory diseases and cardiothoracic comorbidities. This model can be efficiently and broadly applied via a fine-tuning approach to provide fully automated risk and outcome predictions in various clinical scenarios in real-world practice.

Shin HJ, Son NH, Kim MJ, Kim EK. Diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence approved for adults for the interpretation of pediatric chest radiographs. Sci Rep 2022; 12:10215. [PMID: 35715623 PMCID: PMC9204675 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-14519-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) applied to pediatric chest radiographs are yet scarce. This study evaluated whether AI-based software developed for adult chest radiographs can be used for pediatric chest radiographs. Pediatric patients (≤ 18 years old) who underwent chest radiographs from March to May 2021 were included retrospectively. An AI-based lesion detection software assessed the presence of nodules, consolidation, fibrosis, atelectasis, cardiomegaly, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, and pneumoperitoneum. Using the pediatric radiologist’s results as standard reference, we assessed the diagnostic performance of the software. For the total 2273 chest radiographs, the AI-based software showed a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of 67.2%, 91.1%, 57.7%, 93.9%, and 87.5%, respectively. Age was a significant factor for incorrect results (odds radio 0.821, 95% confidence interval 0.791–0.851). When we excluded cardiomegaly and children 2 years old or younger, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy significantly increased (86.4%, 97.9%, 79.7%, 98.7% and 96.9%, respectively, all p < 0.001). In conclusion, AI-based software developed with adult chest radiographs showed diagnostic accuracies up to 96.9% for pediatric chest radiographs when we excluded cardiomegaly and children 2 years old or younger. AI-based lesion detection software needs to be validated in younger children.
