Corneal infection is a significant global health issue, leading to corneal blindness. A new machine learning model is created to analyze the risk of corneal perforation and visual impairment in ulcer patients for early treatment. The study includes a dataset of corneal ulcer images and clinical data, resulting in accurate lesion segmentation and classification. Machine learning algorithms like XGBoost and LightGBM show promising performance in predicting patient prognoses within 1 to 3 months.

Corneal Ulcer Prognostic Model Using Machine Learning

Introduction

Corneal infections are a major concern globally, causing corneal blindness. Analyzing the risk of perforation and impairment in ulcer patients is crucial for early treatment.

Methodology

  • Dataset: Includes 4973 slit lamp images and clinical data of 240 patients.
  • Modeling: Developed a deep learning model for accurate segmentation and classification of corneal lesions.
  • Machine Learning Algorithms: Implemented XGBoost and LightGBM for prognostic model creation.

Results

  1. High accuracy rates were achieved in lesion segmentation and classification.
  2. XGBoost Model: Excelled in predicting patient prognoses within 1 and 3 months.
  3. ROC curve analysis showed promising performance of the model.
