ABSTRACT
Adrenal gland incidentaloma is frequently identified through computed tomography and poses a common clinical challenge. Only selected cases require surgical intervention. The primary aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of selected machine learning (ML) techniques in proper qualifying patients for adrenalectomy and to identify the most accurate algorithm, providing a valuable tool for doctors to simplify their therapeutic decisions. The secondary aim was to assess the significance of attributes for classification accuracy. In total, clinical data were collected from 33 patients who underwent adrenalectomy. Histopathological assessments confirmed the proper selection of 21 patients for surgical intervention according to the guidelines, with accuracy reaching 64%. Statistical analysis showed that Supported Vector Machines (linear) were significantly better than the baseline (p < 0.05), with accuracy reaching 91%, and imaging features of the tumour were found to be the most crucial attributes. In summarise, ML methods may be helpful in qualifying patients for adrenalectomy.
