Development of a Machine Learning Algorithm for Differential Diagnosis Between Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia and Connective Tissue Disease-Related Thrombocytopenia in Pediatric Patients

Abstract: Background To develop a machine learning model for early differentiation of primary immune thrombocytopenia (pITP) from connective tissue disease-related thrombocytopenia (CTD-TP) in children presenting with thrombocytopenia. Method A retrospective study was conducted on 387 newly diagnosed children with thrombocytopenia. All patients were clinically diagnosed and divided into a training set and a test set in a 7:3 ratio. Six machine learning algorithms, including XGboost, RF, SVM, LR, GBDT, BPNN, were used to e…

Background To develop a machine learning model for early differentiation of primary immune thrombocytopenia (pITP) from connective tissue disease-related thrombocytopenia (CTD-TP) in children presenting with thrombocytopenia. Method A retrospective study was conducted on 387 newly diagnosed children with thrombocytopenia.

Six machine learning algorithms, including XGboost, RF, SVM, LR, GBDT, BPNN, were used to establish differential diagnostic models for pITP and CTD-TP. Result A total of 387 patients were included in the study, including 347 cases of pITP and 40 cases of CTD-TP.

Main points
  • Background To develop a machine learning model for early differentiation of primary immune thrombocytopenia (pITP) from connective tissue disease-related thrombocytopenia (CTD-TP) in children presenting with thrombocytopenia.
  • Method A retrospective study was conducted on 387 newly diagnosed children with thrombocytopenia.
  • All patients were clinically diagnosed and divided into a training set and a test set in a 7:3 ratio.
Gain

Development of a Machine Learning Algorithm for Differential Diagnosis Between Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia and Connective Tissue Disease-Related Thrombocytopenia in Pediatric Patients: Based on the above evaluation indicators, the BPNN model had the best performance, with an F1 score of 0.95, an accuracy rate of 94.87%, and an AUC of 0.9738.

The rundown

All patients were clinically diagnosed and divided into a training set and a test set in a 7:3 ratio. Six machine learning algorithms, including XGboost, RF, SVM, LR, GBDT, BPNN, were used to establish differential diagnostic models for pITP and CTD-TP.
