Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the methodological quality and the predictive performance of artificial intelligence (AI) for predicting programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) mutations in lung cancer (LC) based on systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: AI studies based on PET/CT, CT, PET, and immunohistochemistry (IHC)-whole-slide image (WSI) were included to predict PD-L1 expression or EGFR mutations in LC. The modified Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool was used to evaluate the methodological quality. A comprehensive meta-analysis was conducted to analyze the overall area under the curve (AUC). The Cochrane diagnostic test and I2 statistics were used to assess the heterogeneity of the meta-analysis.
Results: A total of 45 AI studies were included, of which 10 were used to predict PD-L1 expression and 35 were used to predict EGFR mutations. Based on the analysis using the QUADAS-2 tool, 37 studies achieved a high-quality score of 7. In the meta-analysis of PD-L1 expression levels, the overall AUCs for PET/CT, CT, and IHC-WSI were 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.77-0.84), 0.74 (95% CI, 0.69-0.77), and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.93-0.97), respectively. For EGFR mutation status, the overall AUCs for PET/CT, CT, and PET were 0.85 (95% CI, 0.81-0.88), 0.83 (95% CI, 0.80-0.86), and 0.75 (95% CI, 0.71-0.79), respectively. The Cochrane Diagnostic Test revealed an I2 value exceeding 50%, indicating substantial heterogeneity in the PD-L1 and EGFR meta-analyses. When AI was combined with clinicopathological features, the enhancement in predicting PD-L1 expression was not substantial, whereas the prediction of EGFR mutations showed improvement compared to the CT and PET models, albeit not significantly so compared to the PET/CT models.
Conclusions: The overall performance of AI in predicting PD-L1 expression and EGFR mutations in LC has promising clinical implications.
期刊介绍：
The mission of Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography is to showcase the latest clinical and research developments in CT, MR, and closely related diagnostic techniques. We encourage submission of both original research and review articles that have immediate or promissory clinical applications. Topics of special interest include: 1) functional MR and CT of the brain and body; 2) advanced/innovative MRI techniques (diffusion, perfusion, rapid scanning); and 3) advanced/innovative CT techniques (perfusion, multi-energy, dose-reduction, and processing).
