Automated detection algorithm for C4d immunostaining showed comparable diagnostic performance to pathologists in renal allograft biopsy.

Modern pathology : an official journal of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology, Inc
A deep learning-based image analysis could improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in pathology work. Recently, we proposed a deep learning-based detection algorithm for C4d immunostaining in renal allografts. The objective of this study is to ass...

Using machine learning techniques to develop risk prediction models to predict graft failure following kidney transplantation: protocol for a retrospective cohort study.

F1000Research
A mechanism to predict graft failure before the actual kidney transplantation occurs is crucial to clinical management of chronic kidney disease patients.  Several kidney graft outcome prediction models, developed using machine learning methods, are...

Machine learning in predicting graft failure following kidney transplantation: A systematic review of published predictive models.

International journal of medical informatics
INTRODUCTION: Machine learning has been increasingly used to develop predictive models to diagnose different disease conditions. The heterogeneity of the kidney transplant population makes predicting graft outcomes extremely challenging. Several kidn...

Generating automated kidney transplant biopsy reports combining molecular measurements with ensembles of machine learning classifiers.

American journal of transplantation : official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons
We previously reported a system for assessing rejection in kidney transplant biopsies using microarray-based gene expression data, the Molecular Microscope Diagnostic System (MMDx). The present study was designed to optimize the accuracy and stabilit...

A Fully Automated System Using A Convolutional Neural Network to Predict Renal Allograft Rejection: Extra-validation with Giga-pixel Immunostained Slides.

Scientific reports
Pathologic diagnoses mainly depend on visual scoring by pathologists, a process that can be time-consuming, laborious, and susceptible to inter- and/or intra-observer variations. This study proposes a novel method to enhance pathologic scoring of ren...

An integrated molecular diagnostic report for heart transplant biopsies using an ensemble of diagnostic algorithms.

The Journal of heart and lung transplantation : the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation
BACKGROUND: We previously reported a microarray-based diagnostic system for heart transplant endomyocardial biopsies (EMBs), using either 3-archetype (3AA) or 4-archetype (4AA) unsupervised algorithms to estimate rejection. In the present study we ex...

Usefulness of Delayed Introduction of Tacrolimus in Kidney Transplants Using Type-III Donors After Circulatory Death.

Transplantation proceedings
INTRODUCTION: Our study compares 2 immunosuppressive strategies to reduce tacrolimus nephrotoxicity and its risk of acute tubular necrosis: delayed introduction of tacrolimus plus thymoglobulin vs initial tacrolimus plus basiliximab on the results of...

The future is coming: promising perspectives regarding the use of machine learning in renal transplantation.

Jornal brasileiro de nefrologia
INTRODUCTION: The prediction of post transplantation outcomes is clinically important and involves several problems. The current prediction models based on standard statistics are very complex, difficult to validate and do not provide accurate predic...

Minimally invasive, robot-assisted procedure for kidney transplantation among morbidly obese: Positive outcomes at 5 years post-transplant.

Clinical transplantation
The pre-transplant weight loss required of end-stage renal disease patients is often unachievable. Though robot-assisted procedures among extremely obese have shown minimal complication, long-term outcomes are understudied. Previously, we reported no...
