The aim of the study described here was to investigate the value of different machine learning models based on the clinical and radiomic features of 2-D ultrasound images to evaluate post-transplant renal function (pTRF). We included 233 patients who underwent ultrasound examination after renal transplantation and divided them into the normal pTRF group (group 1) and the abnormal pTRF group (group 2) based on their estimated glomerular filtration rates. The patients with abnormal pTRF were further subdivided into the non-severe renal function impairment group (group 2A) and the severe impairment group (group 2B). The radiomic features were extracted from the 2-D ultrasound images of each case. The clinical and ultrasound image features as well as radiomic features from the training set were selected, and then five machine learning algorithms were used to construct models for evaluating pTRF. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the discriminatory ability of each model. A total of 19 radiomic features and one clinical feature (age) were retained for discriminating group 1 from group 2. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values of the models ranged from 0.788 to 0.839 in the test set, and no significant differences were found between the models (all p values >0.05). A total of 17 radiomic features and 1 ultrasound image feature (thickness) were retained for discriminating group 2A from group 2B. The AUC values of the models ranged from 0.689 to 0.772, and no significant differences were found between the models (all p values >0.05). Machine learning models based on clinical and ultrasound image features, as well as radiomics features, from 2-D ultrasound images can be used to evaluate pTRF.
本研究旨在探讨基于二维超声图像的临床和放射组学特征的不同机器学习模型在评估移植后肾功能(pTRF)方面的价值。我们纳入了 233 名接受肾移植后超声检查的患者,并根据他们的估计肾小球滤过率将其分为正常 pTRF 组(组 1)和异常 pTRF 组(组 2)。异常 pTRF 患者进一步分为肾功能不全非重度组(组 2A)和重度损伤组(组 2B)。从每个病例的二维超声图像中提取放射组学特征。从训练集中选择临床和超声图像特征以及放射组学特征,然后使用五种机器学习算法构建用于评估 pTRF 的模型。使用接收者操作特征曲线评估每个模型的鉴别能力。共有 19 个放射组学特征和 1 个临床特征(年龄)被保留用于区分组 1 和组 2。模型在测试集中的曲线下面积(AUC)值在 0.788 到 0.839 之间,模型之间没有发现显著差异(所有 p 值均>0.05)。共有 17 个放射组学特征和 1 个超声图像特征(厚度)被保留用于区分组 2A 和组 2B。模型的 AUC 值在 0.689 到 0.772 之间,模型之间没有发现显著差异(所有 p 值均>0.05)。基于二维超声图像的临床和超声图像特征以及放射组学特征的机器学习模型可用于评估 pTRF。
