description Objectives The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for enema reduction failure and to establish a combined model that integrates deep learning (DL) features and clinical features for predicting surgical intervention in intussusception in children younger than 8 months of age.Design A retrospective study with a prospective validation cohort of intussusception.Setting and data The retrospective data were collected from two hospitals in south east China between January 2017 and December 2022. The prospective data were collected between January 2023 and July 2024.Participants A total of 415 intussusception cases in patients younger than 8 months were included in the study.Methods 280 cases collected from Centre 1 were randomly divided into two groups at a 7:3 ratio: the training cohort (n=196) and the internal validation cohort (n=84). 85 cases collected from Centre 2 were designed as external validation cohort. Pretrained DL networks were used to extract deep transfer learning features, with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression selecting the non-zero coefficient features. The clinical features were screened by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. We constructed a combined model that integrated the selected two types of features, along with individual clinical and DL models for comparison. Additionally, the combined model was validated in a prospective cohort (n=50) collected from Centre 1.Results In the internal and external validation cohorts, the combined model (area under curve (AUC): 0.911 and 0.871, respectively) demonstrated better performance for predicting surgical intervention in intussusception in children younger than 8 months of age than the clinical model (AUC: 0.776 and 0.740, respectively) and the DL model (AUC: 0.828 and 0.793, respectively). In the prospective validation cohort, the combined model also demonstrated impressive performance with an AUC of 0.890.Conclusion The combined model, integrating DL and clinical features, demonstrated stable predictive accuracy, suggesting its potential for improving clinical therapeutic strategies for intussusception.
