Machine learning prediction of treatment response to biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in rheumatoid arthritis.
J. Clin. Med. 13:3890 (2024)
Background: Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) have shown efficacy in treating Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Predicting treatment outcomes for RA is crucial as approximately 30% of patients do not respond to bDMARDs and only half achieve a sustained response. This study aims to leverage machine learning to predict both initial response at 6 months and sustained response at 12 months using baseline clinical data. Methods: Baseline clinical data were collected from 154 RA patients treated at the University Hospital in Erlangen, Germany. Five machine learning models were compared: Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Random Forest. Nested cross-validation was employed to ensure robustness and avoid overfitting, integrating hyperparameter tuning within its process. Results: XGBoost achieved the highest accuracy for predicting initial response (AUC-ROC of 0.91), while AdaBoost was the most effective for sustained response (AUC-ROC of 0.84). Key predictors included the Disease Activity Score-28 using erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR), with higher scores at baseline associated with lower response chances at 6 and 12 months. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) identified the most important baseline features and visualized their directional effects on treatment response and sustained response. Conclusions: These findings can enhance RA treatment plans and support clinical decision-making, ultimately improving patient outcomes by predicting response before starting medication.
