Clinical evaluation of a deep-learning model for automatic scoring of the Alberta stroke program early CT score on non-contrast CT
JOURNAL OF NEUROINTERVENTIONAL SURGERY(2024)
摘要
Background Automated measurement of the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) can support clinical decision making. Based on a deep learning algorithm, we developed an automated ASPECTS scoring system (Heuron ASPECTS) and validated its performance in a prespecified clinical trial.Methods For model training, we used non-contrast computed tomography images of 487 patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). For the clinical trial, 326 patients (87 with AIS, 56 with other acute brain diseases, and 183 with no brain disease) were enrolled. The results of Heuron ASPECTS were compared with the consensus generated by two stroke experts using the Bland-Altman agreement. A mean difference of less than 0.35 and a maximum allowed difference of less than 3.8 were considered the primary outcome target. The sensitivity and specificity of the model for the 10 regions of interest and dichotomized ASPECTS were calculated.Results The Bland-Altman agreement had a mean difference of 0.03 [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.08 to 0.14], and the upper and lower limits of agreement were 2.80 [95% CI: 2.62 to 2.99] and -2.74 [95% CI: -2.92 to -2.55], respectively. For ASPECTS calculation, sensitivity and specificity to detect the early ischemic change for 10 ASPECTS regions were 62.78% [95% CI: 58.50 to 67.07] and 96.63% [95% CI: 96.18 to 97.09], respectively. Furthermore, in a dichotomized analysis (ASPECTS >4 vs. =4), the sensitivity and specificity were 94.01% [95% CI: 91.26 to 96.77] and 61.90% [95% CI: 47.22 to 76.59], respectively.Conclusions The current trial results show that Heuron ASPECTS reliably measures the ASPECTS for use in clinical practice.
