Abstract:
Objective:To construct the risk prediction model of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and verify its effectiveness based on deep learning and back propagation algorithm neural network (BP neural network).Methods:Based on the relevant data of 1 326 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the team's previous clinical study, the acute exacerbation, and its risk factors during the stable period and 6 months of follow-up were recorded and analyzed. Combined with previous clinical research data and expert questionnaire results, the independent risk factors of AECOPD after screening and optimization by multivariate Logistic regression including gender, body mass index (BMI) classification, number of acute exacerbation, duration of acute exacerbation and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were used to build the BP neural network by Python 3.6 programming language and Tensorflow 1.12 deep learning framework. The patients were randomly selected according to the ratio of 4∶1 to generate the training group and the test group, of which, the training group had 1 061 sample data while the test group had 265 pieces of sample data. The training group was used to establish the prediction model of neural network, and the test group was used for back-substitution test. When using the training group data to construct the neural network model, the training group was randomly divided into training set and verification set according to the ratio of 4∶1. There were 849 training samples in the training set and 212 verification samples in the verification set. The optimal model was screened by adjusting the parameters of the neural network and combining the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC), and the sample data of the test group was substituted into the model for verification.Results:The independent risk factors including gender, BMI classification, number of acute exacerbation, duration of acute exacerbation and FEV1 were collected from the team's previous clinical research, and the AECOPD risk prediction model was constructed based on deep learning and BP neural network. After 10 000 training sessions, the accuracy of the AECOPD risk prediction model in the validation set of the training group was 83.09%. When the number of training times reached 8 000, the accuracy basically tended to be stable and the prediction ability reached the upper limit. The AECOPD risk prediction model trained for 10 000 times was used to predict the risk of the validation set data, and the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) analysis showed that the AUC was 0.803. When using this model to predict the risk of the data of the test group, the accuracy rate was 81.69%.Conclusion:The risk prediction model based on deep learning and BP neural network has a medium level of prediction efficiency for acute exacerbation within 6 months in COPD patients, which can evaluate the risk of AECOPD and assist the clinic in making accurate treatment decisions.
