ObjectiveTo enhance predictive accuracy for urinary tract infections post-pediatric pyeloplasty
AI ApproachLogistic Regression, SVM, Random Forest, XGBoost, LightGBM and deep learning TabNet model
Data Source(s)Single institutional series (764 patients)
Model Input25 clinical features including patient demographics, medical history, surgical details, and various postoperative indicators
Model OutcomeUTI after pyeloplasty
Model MetricsLightGBM: AUC 0.78, accuracy 71%, sensitivity 0.71
 
Ensemble approach (LightGBM and TabNet): AUC 0.80, accuracy 80%, sensitivity 0.65
Model UsabilityDe-identified datasets provided as a supplementary document. No usable code or application.

AI = Artificial intelligence, SVM = Support vector machines, AUC = Area under the receiver operator characteristic
