Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being recognized for its potential to transform AKI care by enabling early prediction, detection, and facilitating an individualized approach to patient management. This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of externally validated ML models for the prediction, detection, and management of AKI. We systematically searched for relevant literature from inception to 15 February 2024, using four databases-MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus. We focused solely on models that had undergone external validation, employed Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definitions for AKI, and utilized ML models (excluding logistic regression models). A total of 44 studies encompassing 161 ML models for AKI prediction, severity assessment, and outcomes in both adult and pediatric populations were included in the review. These studies encompassed 4,153,424 patient admissions, with 1,209,659 in the development and internal validation cohorts and 2,943,765 in the external validation cohorts. The ML models demonstrated significant variability in performance owing to differing clinical settings, populations, and predictors used. Most of the included models were developed in specialized patient populations, such as those in intensive care units, post-surgical settings, and specific disease states (e.g. congestive heart failure, traumatic brain injury, etc.). Moreover, only a few models incorporated dynamic predictors of AKI which are crucial for improving clinical utility in rapidly evolving clinical conditions like AKI. The variable performance of these models when applied to external validation cohorts highlights the challenges of reproducibility and generalizability in implementing ML models in AKI care. Despite acceptable performance metrics, none of the models assessed in this review underwent validation or implementation in real-world clinical workflows. These findings underscore the need for standardized performance metrics and validation protocols to enhance the generalizability and clinical applicability of these models. Future efforts should focus on enhancing model adaptability by incorporating dynamic predictors and unstructured data and by ensuring that models are developed in diverse patient populations. Moreover, collaboration between clinicians and data scientists is critical to ensure the development of models that are clinically relevant, fair, and tailored to real-world healthcare environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":10760,"journal":{"name":"Critical reviews in clinical laboratory sciences","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143982756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diagnosing MS involves a combination of clinical assessment, imaging and laboratory tests, with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) oligoclonal bands (OCB) being an important marker for fulfilling the dissemination in time criteria. A recent survey of Canadian clinical laboratories highlighted considerable variation in OCB reporting practices nationwide, spanning quality control (QC) practices, acceptable time limits between paired CSF and serum sample collections, protocols for reporting band counts, interpretation and reporting of mirrored patterns, testing panels, and interpretive thresholds. These inconsistencies impact patient care and the comparability of laboratory results across different laboratories. The Harmonized CSF Analysis for MS Investigation (hCAMI) subcommittee of the Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists Reference Interval Harmonization Working Group was established to generate recommendations for laboratory processes and reporting of CSF OCB and associated tests supporting MS diagnosis. This review serves as a foundation for these efforts, summarizing the available evidence in areas where practice variations have been noted. This review begins by examining current practices and guidelines for standardized quality assurance, including optimal QC materials, frequency, documentation, and participation in external quality assurance programs. The disparity between paired CSF and serum sample acceptability time limits was further examined by reviewing current practices and recommendations as well as compiling evidence on IgG synthesis, turnover rate, biological variation, and stability in CSF and serum samples. Additionally, this review addresses the lack of consensus on reporting the number of CSF-specific and CSF-serum matched bands, focusing on interpreter variability and clinical utility. Contributing factors and clinical implications of mirror patterns, including discussion on monoclonal gammopathies and cases of matched bands of differing staining intensity, is provided.
