Predicting Kidney Survival with CNNs
Kolachalama and colleagues utilized CNN models on digital kidney biopsies from 171 patients to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year kidney survival rates.
Challenge: Traditional pathologist-estimated fibrosis scores yielded AUCs between 0.78 and 0.81 for kidney survival prediction.
Solution: Six CNN models were trained to identify and segment glomeruli, classify them, and estimate IFTA from biopsy images, then predict GFR slope and survival rates directly.
Outcome: The CNNs achieved AUCs between 0.87 and 0.90 for kidney survival, demonstrating superior predictive performance compared to human-based assessments.
