Deep learning models (DLMs) have shown superiority in electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis and have been applied to diagnose dyskalaemias. However, no study has explored the performance of DLM-enabled ECG in continuous follow-up scenarios. Therefore, we proposed a dynamic revision of DLM-enabled ECG to use personal pre-annotated ECGs to enhance the accuracy in patients with multiple visits.
We retrospectively collected 168 450 ECGs with corresponding serum potassium (K) levels from 103 091 patients as development samples. In the internal/external validation sets, the numbers of ECGs with corresponding K were 37 246/47 604 from 13 555/20 058 patients. Our dynamic revision method showed better performance than the traditional direct prediction for diagnosing hypokalaemia [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) = 0.730/0.720-0.788/0.778] and hyperkalaemia (AUC = 0.884/0.888-0.915/0.908) in patients with multiple visits.
Our method has shown a distinguishable improvement in DLMs for diagnosing dyskalaemias in patients with multiple visits, and we also proved its application in ejection fraction prediction, which could further improve daily clinical practice.
深度学习模型(DLMs)在心电图(ECG)分析中已显示出优越性,并已应用于诊断电解质紊乱。然而,尚无研究探讨在连续随访场景中基于DLM的心电图的性能。因此,我们提出了一种基于DLM的心电图动态修订方法,以使用个人预先标注的心电图来提高多次就诊患者的诊断准确性。
我们回顾性收集了103091例患者的168450份心电图及相应的血清钾(K)水平作为开发样本。在内部/外部验证集中,有相应K值的心电图数量分别为来自13555/20058例患者的37246/47604份。我们的动态修订方法在诊断多次就诊患者的低钾血症[受试者操作特征曲线下面积(AUC)=0.730/0.720-0.788/0.778]和高钾血症(AUC=0.884/0.888-0.915/0.908)方面比传统直接预测方法表现更好。
我们的方法在基于DLM诊断多次就诊患者的电解质紊乱方面显示出显著改进,并且我们还证明了其在射血分数预测中的应用,这可以进一步改善日常临床实践。
