Hydronephrosis from VUDS in spina bifida

Article DOIhttps://dx.doi.org/10.1097/JU.0000000000004547
ObjectiveTo predict incident hydronephrosis in patients with spina bifida using videourodynamics data
AI ApproachRandom forrest
Data Source(s)Single institutional series (554 patients)
Model InputFour models using (1) prospectively collected clinical characteristics, (2) urodynamic pressure-volume recordings, (3) fluoroscopic imaging, and (4) risk prediction scores from pressure/volume and imaging models
Model OutcomeProbability of hydronephrosis,
Model MetricsIn VUDS reaching > 75% estimated bladder capacity: c-index of 0.73. Additional statistics on training/test datasets available.
Model UsabilityNone

AI = Artificial intelligence, VUDS = Video urodynamics, AUC = Area under the receiver operator characteristic
