The goal of this study was to assess whether a deep learning estimate of age from a chest radiograph image (CXR-Age) can predict longevity beyond chronological age.
Chronological age is an imperfect measure of longevity. Biological age, a measure of overall health, may improve personalized care. This paper proposes a new way to estimate biological age using a convolutional neural network that takes as input a CXR image and outputs a chest x-ray age (in years) as a measure of long-term mortality risk.
CXR-Age was developed using CXR from 116,035 individuals and validated in 2 held-out testing sets: 1) 75% of the CXR arm of PLCO (Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial) (N = 40,967); and 2) the CXR arm of NLST (National Lung Screening Trial) (N = 5,414). CXR-Age was compared to chronological age and a multivariable regression model of chronological age, risk factors, and radiograph findings to predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality with a maximum 23 years and 13 years of follow-up, respectively. The primary outcome was observed mortality; results are provided for the testing datasets only.
In the PLCO testing dataset, a 5-year increase in CXR-Age carried a higher risk of all-cause mortality than a 5-year increase in chronological age (CXR-Age hazard ratio [HR]: 2.26 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.24 to 2.29] vs. chronological age HR: 1.77 [95% CI: 1.75 to 1.78]; p < 0.001). A similar pattern was found for cardiovascular mortality (CXR-Age cause-specific HR: 2.45 per 5 years [95% CI: 2.34 to 2.56] vs. chronological age HR: 1.82 per 5 years [95% CI: 1.74 to 1.90]). Similar results were seen for both outcomes in the NLST external testing dataset. Adding CXR-Age to the multivariable model resulted in significant improvements for predicting both outcomes in both testing datasets (p < 0.001 for all comparisons).
Based on a CXR image, CXR-Age predicted long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
本研究旨在评估从胸部 X 射线图像(CXR)中深度学习估计的年龄(CXR-Age)是否可以预测超越实际年龄的长寿。
实际年龄是衡量长寿的不完美指标。生物年龄是衡量整体健康状况的指标,可能会改善个性化护理。本文提出了一种使用卷积神经网络估计生物年龄的新方法,该网络将胸部 X 射线图像作为输入,并输出胸部 X 射线年龄(以年为单位),作为衡量长期死亡率风险的指标。
使用来自 116035 个人的 CXR 开发了 CXR-Age,并在 2 个独立的测试集(PLCO 的 CXR 臂的 75%(N=40967)和 NLST 的 CXR 臂(N=5414))中进行了验证。将 CXR-Age 与实际年龄以及实际年龄、危险因素和射线照相发现的多变量回归模型进行比较,以分别预测最长 23 年和 13 年的全因和心血管死亡率。主要结果是观察到的死亡率;仅提供测试数据集的结果。
在 PLCO 测试数据集,CXR-Age 每增加 5 岁,全因死亡率的风险高于实际年龄每增加 5 岁(CXR-Age 风险比[HR]:2.26[95%置信区间[CI]:2.24 至 2.29]比实际年龄 HR:1.77[95%CI:1.75 至 1.78];p<0.001)。心血管死亡率也出现了类似的模式(CXR-Age 特定原因 HR:每 5 年增加 2.45[95%CI:2.34 至 2.56]比实际年龄 HR:每 5 年增加 1.82[95%CI:1.74 至 1.90])。在 NLST 外部测试数据集的这两种结果中也观察到了类似的结果。在多变量模型中加入 CXR-Age 可显著改善两种结果在两个测试数据集的预测(所有比较的 p<0.001)。
基于 CXR 图像,CXR-Age 预测了长期全因和心血管死亡率。
