Article DOIhttps://doi.org/10.21886/2308-6424-2021-9-2-45-55
ObjectiveTo predict the outcomes of a single endoscopic injection of DxHA for correction of VUR
AI ApproachMultilayer ANN (multilayer perceptron) with two hidden layers and a sigmoid function of neuronal activation
Data Source(s)Multi-institutional series (582 children, 783 ureteric units operated on)
Model InputVUR grade, age, sex, presence of ureteral duplication, ureteral dilatation index
Model OutcomeTo predict successful outcome of DxHA injection treatment
Model MetricsAUC of 0.77, correct prognosis 75%, sensitivity 86%, specificity 65%
Model UsabilityNA
