Abstract
BackgroundThe current scoring systems could not predict prognosis after endovascular therapy for peripheral artery disease. Machine learning could make predictions for future events by learning a specific pattern from existing data. This study aimed to demonstrate machine learning could make an accurate prediction for 2-year major adverse limb event-free survival (MFS) after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting for lower limb atherosclerosis obliterans (ASO).MethodsA lower limb ASO cohort of 392 patients who received PTA and stenting was split to the training set and test set by 4:1 in chronological order. Demographic, medical, and imaging data were used to build machine learning models to predict 2-year MFS. The discrimination and calibration of artificial neural network (ANN) and random forest models were compared with the logistic regression model, using the area under the receiver operating curve (ROCAUC) with DeLong test, and the calibration curve with Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, respectively.ResultsThe ANN model (ROCAUC = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.68–0.89) but not the random forest model (ROCAUC = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.66–0.87) significantly outperformed the logistic regression model (ROCAUC = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.60–0.83, P = 0.01 and P = 0.24). The ANN model the logistic regression model demonstrated good calibration performance (P = 0.73 and P = 0.28), while the random forest model showed poor calibration (P < 0.01). The calibration curve of the ANN model was visually the closest to the perfectly calibrated line.ConclusionMachine learning models could accurately predict 2-year MFS after PTA and stenting for lower limb ASO, in which the ANN model had better discrimination and calibration. Machine learning-derived prediction tools might be clinically useful to automatically identify candidates for PTA and stenting.
