This scientific presentation will present external validation results for a deep-learning model in identifying individuals at high risk of incident chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on routine outpatient chest x-rays (CXR).
Saman Doroodgar Jorshery, MD, and colleagues will discuss findings with CXR-Lung-Risk, a previously developed convolutional neural network designed to predict lung-related mortality. For the external validation, patients with no history of lung cancer, COPD, or emphysema, and who had a chest radiograph, were identified.
After analyzing 10,913 patients, the CXR-Lung-Risk model was significantly and independently associated with incident COPD. As determined via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, CXR-Lung-Risk added predictive value in comparison with the TargetCOPD clinical risk score, according to Jorshery and colleagues.
"Opportunistic screening of existing CXRs using deep learning based model (CXR-Lung-Risk) could help in identifying high-risk individuals and guide COPD prevention," the researchers concluded.
