Predicting Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease using Machine Learning Methods: A Retrospective Cohort Study

  • 基于临床特征选Top10变量,用LASSO逻辑回归建模并后处理提升公平性。
  • 模型在测试集上准确率达81%,特异性94%,虽敏感性下降但更均衡。
  • 适合基层医疗场景,专为真实世界电子病历设计,支持早期干预。

代谢功能障碍相关脂肪性肝病(MASLD)影响美国30-40%成年人,是最常见的慢性肝病。本研究旨在开发并评估一种基于电子健康记录(EHR)的预测模型,以支持初级保健中的早期检测。我们评估了LASSO逻辑回归、随机森林、XGBoost和神经网络模型,使用大型EHR数据库中临床特征子集,包括前10个重要特征。为减少不同种族/族裔群体间真阳性率差异,采用等机会后处理方法构建名为MASER的模型。回顾性队列研究包含59,492名训练参与者、24,198名验证者及25,188名测试者。最终选择具有可解释性的顶10特征LASSO模型。未调整前,模型表现:AUROC 0.84,准确率78%,敏感性72%,特异性79%,F1分数0.617。经公平性调整后,准确率升至81%,特异性达94%,但敏感性降至41%,F1分数降至0.515,体现公平性权衡。结论:MASER在有限常规特征集下达到与已有集成模型相当的性能,适用于多样化人群,具备初级保健集成潜力,需前瞻性验证。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects 30-40% of US adults and is the most common chronic liver disease. Although often asymptomatic, progression can lead to cirrhosis. The objective of the study was to develop and evaluate an electronic health record (EHR) based prediction model to support early detection of MASLD in primary care settings. Methods: We evaluated LASSO logistic regression, random forest, XGBoost, and a neural network model for MASLD prediction using clinical feature subsets from a large EHR database, including the top 10 ranked features. To reduce disparities in true positive rates across racial and ethnic subgroups, we applied an equal opportunity postprocessing method in a prediction model called MASLD EHR Static Risk Prediction (MASER). Results: This retrospective cohort study included 59,492 participants in the training data, 24,198 in the validating data, and 25,188 in the testing data. The LASSO logistic regression model with the top 10 features was selected for its interpretability and comparable performance. Before fairness adjustment, the model achieved AUROC of 0.84, accuracy of 78%, sensitivity of 72%, specificity of 79%, and F1-score of 0.617. After equal opportunity postprocessing, accuracy modestly increased to 81% and specificity to 94%, while sensitivity decreased to 41% and F1-score to 0.515, reflecting the fairness trade-off. Conclusions: MASER achieved competitive performance for MASLD prediction, comparable to previously reported ensemble and tree-based models, while using a limited and routinely collected feature set and a diverse study population. The model is designed to support early detection and potential integration into primary care workflows. MASER demonstrates EHR-ready MASLD prediction with fairness adjustments, supporting future primary care implementation pending prospective validation.
