Constructing a prediction model for acute pancreatitis severity based on liquid neural network
Abstract Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease, and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) has a high morbidity and mortality rate. Early recognition of SAP is crucial for prognosis. This study aimed to develop a novel liquid neural network (LNN) model for predicting SAP. This study retrospectively a...

| description | Abstract Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease, and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) has a high morbidity and mortality rate. Early recognition of SAP is crucial for prognosis. This study aimed to develop a novel liquid neural network (LNN) model for predicting SAP. This study retrospectively analyzed the data of AP patients admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University between January 2020 and June 2024. Data imbalance was dealt with by data preprocessing and using the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE). A new feature selection method was designed to optimize model performance. Logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DCT), random forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and LNN models were built. The model’s performance was evaluated by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and other statistical metrics. In addition, SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis was used to interpret the prediction results of the LNN model. The LNN model performed best in predicting AP severity, with an AUC value of 0.9659 and accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and specificity higher than 0.90. SHAP analysis revealed key predictors, such as calcium level, amylase activity, and percentage of basophils, which were strongly associated with AP severity. As an emerging machine learning tool, the LNN model has demonstrated excellent performance and potential in AP severity prediction. The results of this study support the idea that LNN models can be applied to early severity assessment of AP patients in a clinical setting, which can help optimize treatment plans and improve patient prognosis. |
