Stone free status after ureteroscopy

Article DOIhttps://dx.doi.org/10.1089/end.2024.0120
ObjectiveTo predict postoperative ureteroscopy outcomes in children (stone-free status and complications) from preoperative characteristics
AI ApproachLR, SVM, DT, RF, Extra Trees (boosted), Naive Bayes, KNN, Bagging; Ensemble (Bagging + Extra Trees + LDA), Multitask ANN
Data Source(s)Single institutional series (146 patients)
Model InputAge, gender, pre-op urine culture, anatomical variants, stone location, multiple stones, total stone size, pre-op urinary drainage (stent/nephrostomy)
Model OutcomeStone-free status
Complications
Model MetricsPrediction of stone-free status, ensemble: Training set accuracy 90%, F1 0.67-0.91
 
Prediction of complications, ensemble:
Training set accuracy 93-100%, F1 0.74-1.00.
