Development of diagnostic model for liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome in colorectal cancer patients during chemotherapy based on machine learning
To develop a quantitative diagnostic model based on standardized traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome elements (symptoms and physical signs) for liver depression and spleen deficiency (LDSD) syndrome in colorectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy using the LASSO-logistic regression algorithm.
Methods
2
Relevant clinical data of 400 colorectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were collected, and their TCM syndromes were identified. A diagnostic model for LDSD syndrome was established via LASSO-logistic regression analysis and subsequently evaluated.
Results
2
①Among the 400 patients, the proportion of LDSD syndrome is relatively higher (27.75%), followed by spleen qi deficiency syndrome (19.75%), spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome (14.25%), and damp-heat accumulation syndrome (11.25%). ②LASSO regression analysis identified 12 variables with non-zero regression coefficients, and further univariate logistic regression analysis indicated that 11 of these variables were influencing factors for the outcome. These 11 variables were included in a multivariate logistic regression analysis, and 6 variables (knee weakness, hypochondriac distension and pain, poor emotional status, belching with acid regurgitation, rapid pulse, and wiry pulse) were finally identified and used to develop the diagnostic model, with a nomogram generated accordingly.③The results of performance evaluations (receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis) showed that the predictive model for LDSD syndrome had certain accuracy and reliability across different datasets.
Conclusions
2
The diagnostic model for LDSD syndrome developed in this study enables a data-driven "experience-data" dual-track diagnostic mode for TCM syndrome differentiation. It not only provides a practical tool for the precise TCM diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer during chemotherapy, but also demonstrates the methodological value of machine learning in the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. In the future, multi-modal data integration and external validation can be adopted to promote its translation into clinical practice.
