OBJECTIVE: This paper presents benchmarking results of human epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) interphase cell image classification methods on a very large dataset. The indirect immunofluorescence method applied on HEp-2 cells has been the gold standard to i...
BACKGROUND: The exact risk assessment is crucial for the management of connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) patients. In the present study, we develop a nomogram to predict 3‑ and 5-year mortality by using machine ...
Early diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases secondary to connective tissue diseases is critical for the treatment and survival of patients. The symptoms, like dry cough and dyspnea, appear late in the clinical history and are not specific, moreover...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop a computed tomography (CT)-based deep learning model for assessing the severity of patients with connective tissue disease (CTD)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD).
BACKGROUND: There is no individualized prediction model for intensive care unit (ICU) admission on patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and connective tissue disease (CTD) so far. In this study, we aimed to establish a machine learning-ba...

Distinguishing connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) can be clinically challenging. To identify proteins that separate and classify patients with CTD-ILD and those with IPF...
The Anti-Nuclear Antibodies (ANA) test using Human Epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells in the Indirect Immuno-Fluorescence (IIF) assay protocol is considered the gold standard for detecting Connective Tissue Diseases. Computer-assisted systems for HEp-2 ...
This study retrospectively collected clinical data from 480 patients with connective tissue diseases (CTDs) at Nanjing First Hospital between August 2019 and December 2023 to develop and validate a multi-classification machine learning (ML) model for...
OBJECTIVES: To explore the feasibility of using a diagnostic model constructed with deep learning-radiomics (DLR) features extracted from chest computed tomography (CT) images to predict the gender-age-physiology (GAP) stage of patients with connecti...
