RESUMEN
PRCIS: A deep learning model trained on macular OCT imaging studies detected clinically significant functional glaucoma progression and was also able to predict future progression. OBJECTIVE: To use macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging to predict the future and detect concurrent visual field progression, respectively, using deep learning. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study. SUBJECTS: A pretraining data set was comprised of 7,702,201 B-scan images from 151,389 macular OCT studies. The progression detection task included 3902 macular OCT imaging studies from 1534 eyes of 828 patients with glaucoma, and the progression prediction task included 1346 macular OCT studies from 1205 eyes of 784. METHODS: A novel deep learning method was developed to detect glaucoma progression and predict future progression using macular OCT, based on self-supervised pretraining of a vision transformer (ViT) model on a large, unlabeled data set of OCT images. Glaucoma progression was defined as a mean deviation (MD) rate of change of ≤ -0.5 dB/year over 5 consecutive Humphrey visual field tests, and rapid progression was defined as MD change ≤ -1 dB/year. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Diagnostic performance of the ViT model for prediction of future visual field progression and detection of concurrent visual field progression using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity. RESULTS: The model distinguished stable eyes from progressing eyes, achieving an AUC of 0.90 (95% CI, 0.88-0.91). Rapid progression was detected with an AUC of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.91-0.93). The model also demonstrated high predictive ability for forecasting future glaucoma progression, with an AUC of 0.85 (95% CI 0.83-0.87). Rapid progression was predicted with an AUC of 0.84 (95% CI 0.81-0.86). CONCLUSIONS: A deep learning model detected clinically significant functional glaucoma progression using macular OCT imaging studies and was also able to predict future progression. Early identification of patients undergoing glaucoma progression or at high risk for future progression may aid in clinical decision-making.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to build and evaluate a deep learning, artificial intelligence (AI) model to automatically classify swallow types based on raw data from esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM). METHODS: HRM studies on patients with no history of esophageal surgery were collected including 1,741 studies with 26,115 swallows labeled by swallow type (normal, hypercontractile, weak-fragmented, failed, and premature) by an expert interpreter per the Chicago Classification. The dataset was stratified and split into train/validation/test datasets for model development. Long short-term memory (LSTM), a type of deep-learning AI model, was trained and evaluated. The overall performance and detailed per-swallow type performance were analyzed. The interpretations of the supine swallows in a single study were further used to generate an overall classification of peristalsis. KEY RESULTS: The LSTM model for swallow type yielded accuracies from the train/validation/test datasets of 0.86/0.81/0.83. The model's interpretation for study-level classification of peristalsis yielded accuracy of 0.88 in the test dataset. Among model misclassification, 535/698 (77%) swallows and 25/35 (71%) studies were to adjacent categories, for example, normal to weak or normal to ineffective, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES: A deep-learning AI model can automatically and accurately identify the Chicago Classification swallow types and peristalsis classification from raw HRM data. While future work to refine this model and incorporate overall manometric diagnoses are needed, this study demonstrates the role that AI will serve in the interpretation and classification of esophageal HRM studies.
