  • 采用局部过渡建模捕捉相邻随访间的临床变化,适应稀疏数据结构。
  • 在ADNI数据集上,局部转换模型比序列模型预测准确率更高。
  • 适合需要个性化疾病轨迹推演的临床研究与精准医疗场景。

阿尔茨海默病(AD)进展具有高度异质性,通常通过稀疏且不规则的纵向数据观测,给预测和个性化监测带来挑战。现有机器学习方法虽利用多模态数据提升了AD预测性能,但多聚焦于静态分类或群体风险估计,难以支持个体化建模与不确定性推理。为此,本文提出一种基于多模态纵向数据的个性化数字孪生框架,用于AD预测与情景分析。该框架融合互补建模策略,捕捉就诊间的临床转变与时间依赖性。基于阿尔茨海默病神经影像计划(ADNI)数据,包括认知评估、临床变量及MRI衍生表型,框架可预测认知状态与诊断类别,并量化预测不确定性,支持患者特异性“若何”轨迹分析。在无泄露的个体级划分下,局部过渡建模在相邻随访间表现优于序列分支,表明局部转换建模在稀疏数据中更具数据效率;而序列模型仍适用于不确定性感知的轨迹预测。结果强调了时序建模策略应与临床数据结构对齐,提示基于转换的数字孪生可能为神经退行性疾病提供实用且可解释的个性化预测方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression is highly heterogeneous and is typically observed through sparse and irregular longitudinal data, posing challenges for prediction and personalised monitoring. Existing machine learning approaches have improved AD prediction using multimodal data, yet often focus on static classification or cohort-level risk estimation, providing limited support for subject-specific modelling and uncertainty-aware reasoning. To address these limitations, we present a personalised digital twin framework for AD prediction and scenario-based analysis using multimodal longitudinal data. The proposed approach integrates complementary modelling strategies to capture clinical transitions and temporal dependencies across visits. Using data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), including cognitive assessments, clinical variables, and MRI-derived phenotypes, the framework predicts cognitive status and diagnostic categories while quantifying predictive uncertainty and enabling patient-specific what-if trajectory analysis. Evaluation on leak-free subject-level splits demonstrates strong performance in score forecasting and diagnosis classification. In this sparse and irregular ADNI setting, transition-based modelling of adjacent visits achieved higher predictive accuracy than the sequence-based branch, suggesting that local transition modelling may be more data-efficient. While sequence models remain valuable for uncertainty-aware trajectory forecasting, local transition modelling offers a more data-efficient and robust predictive strategy. These findings highlight the importance of aligning temporal modelling strategies with clinical data structure and suggest that transition-based digital twin formulations may provide a practical and interpretable approach for personalised disease forecasting in neurodegenerative disorders.
