Machine learning in the prediction of treatment response for emotional disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background
Emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety affect millions globally and pose a significant burden on public health. Personalized treatment approaches using machine learning (ML) to predict treatment response could revolutionize treatment strategies. However, there is limited evidence as to whether ML is successful in predicting treatment outcomes. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the accuracy of ML algorithms in predicting binary treatment response (responder vs. non-responder) to evidence-based psychotherapies, pharmacotherapies, and other treatments for emotional disorders, and to examine moderators of prediction accuracy.
Methods
Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed and PsycINFO from January 1st, 2010 to March 27th, 2025. Studies were included if they used ML methods to predict treatment response in patients with emotional disorders. Data were extracted on sample size, type of treatment, predictors used, ML methods, and prediction accuracy. Meta-analytic techniques were used to synthesize findings and identify moderators of prediction accuracy.
Results
Out of 3816 non-duplicate records, 155 studies met inclusion criteria. The overall mean prediction accuracy was 0.76 (95 % CI: 0.74–0.78), and the mean area under the curve was 0.80 indicating good discrimination. The average sensitivity and specificity were 0.73 and 0.75, respectively. Moderator analyses indicated that studies using more robust cross-validation procedures exhibited higher prediction accuracy. Neuroimaging data as predictors were associated with higher accuracy compared to clinical and demographic data. Moreover, results indicated that studies with larger responder rates, as well as those that did not correct for imbalances in outcome rates, were associated with higher prediction accuracy.
Conclusions
ML methods show promise in predicting treatment response for emotional disorders, with varying degrees of accuracy depending on the type of predictors used and the rigor of methodological procedures implemented. Future research should focus on improving methodological integrity and exploring the integration of multimodal data to enhance prediction accuracy.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Psychology Review serves as a platform for substantial reviews addressing pertinent topics in clinical psychology. Encompassing a spectrum of issues, from psychopathology to behavior therapy, cognition to cognitive therapies, behavioral medicine to community mental health, assessment, and child development, the journal seeks cutting-edge papers that significantly contribute to advancing the science and/or practice of clinical psychology.
While maintaining a primary focus on topics directly related to clinical psychology, the journal occasionally features reviews on psychophysiology, learning therapy, experimental psychopathology, and social psychology, provided they demonstrate a clear connection to research or practice in clinical psychology. Integrative literature reviews and summaries of innovative ongoing clinical research programs find a place within its pages. However, reports on individual research studies and theoretical treatises or clinical guides lacking an empirical base are deemed inappropriate for publication.
