: Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are mainly genetically driven disorders that affect immune function and present with highly heterogeneous clinical manifestations, ranging from severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) to adult-onset immune dysregulatory diseases. This clinical heterogeneity, coupled with limited awareness and the absence of a universal diagnostic test, makes early and accurate diagnosis challenging. Although genetic testing methods such as whole-exome and genome sequencing have improved detection, they are often expensive, complex, and require functional validation. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) tools have emerged as promising for enhancing diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making for IEI. : We conducted a systematic review of four major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase) to identify peer-reviewed English-published studies focusing on the application of AI techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of IEI across pediatric and adult populations. Twenty-three retrospective/prospective studies and clinical trials were included. : AI methodologies demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy, improved detection of pathogenic mutations, and enhanced prediction of clinical outcomes. AI tools effectively integrated and analyzed electronic health records (EHRs), clinical, immunological, and genetic data, thereby accelerating the diagnostic process and supporting personalized treatment strategies. : AI technologies show significant promise in the early detection and management of IEI by reducing diagnostic delays and healthcare costs. While offering substantial benefits, limitations such as data bias and methodological inconsistencies among studies must be addressed to ensure broader clinical applicability.
遗传性免疫缺陷(IEI)主要是由基因驱动的疾病,会影响免疫功能,临床表现高度异质,从严重联合免疫缺陷(SCID)到成人期免疫调节异常疾病不等。这种临床异质性,加上认知有限以及缺乏通用诊断测试,使得早期准确诊断具有挑战性。尽管全外显子组测序和基因组测序等基因检测方法提高了检测率,但它们往往成本高昂、操作复杂,且需要功能验证。最近,人工智能(AI)工具在提高IEI的诊断准确性和临床决策方面显示出了前景。
我们对四个主要数据库(PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science和Embase)进行了系统综述,以识别专注于AI技术在儿科和成人人群IEI诊断与治疗中应用的同行评审英文发表研究。纳入了23项回顾性/前瞻性研究和临床试验。
AI方法显示出高诊断准确性、提高了致病突变的检测率,并增强了临床结局预测。AI工具有效地整合和分析了电子健康记录(EHR)、临床、免疫和基因数据,从而加速了诊断过程并支持个性化治疗策略。
AI技术通过减少诊断延迟和医疗成本,在IEI的早期检测和管理中显示出巨大前景。虽然带来了诸多益处,但必须解决数据偏差和研究方法不一致等局限性,以确保更广泛的临床适用性。
