Journal Article
Epilepsy classification using artificial intelligence: A web‐based application
2023
Overview
The purpose of the current endeavor was to evaluate the feasibility of using easily accessible and applicable clinical information (based on history taking and physical examination) in order to make a reliable differentiation between idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) versus focal epilepsy using machine learning (ML) methods.
The first phase of the study was a retrospective study of a prospectively developed and maintained database. All patients with an electro-clinical diagnosis of IGE or focal epilepsy, at the outpatient epilepsy clinic at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran, from 2008 until 2022, were included. The first author selected a set of clinical features. Using the stratified random portioning method, the dataset was divided into the train (70%) and test (30%) subsets. Different types of classifiers were assessed and the final classification was made based on their best results using the stacking method.
A total number of 1445 patients were studied; 964 with focal epilepsy and 481 with IGE. The stacking classifier led to better results than the base classifiers in general. This algorithm has the following characteristics: precision: 0.81, sensitivity: 0.81, and specificity: 0.77.
We developed a pragmatic algorithm aimed at facilitating epilepsy classification for individuals whose epilepsy begins at age 10 years and older. Also, in order to enable and facilitate future external validation studies by other peers and professionals, the developed and trained ML model was implemented and published via an online web-based application that is freely available at http://www.epiclass.ir/f-ige.
