Establishing an AI-based artifact correction system for intrarenal pressure monitoring using the LithoVue™ Elite ureteroscope: an EAU endourology and AUSET collaboration
To quantify the frequency and magnitude of artifacts in intrarenal pressure (IRP) data during retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and to develop an AI-based model for artifact detection and correction, highlighting the potential impact on clinical outcomes.
Key Findings:
Postoperative infectious complications, including sepsis, occur in approximately 5% of RIRS cases.
Artifacts in IRP data are caused by physical contact between the pressure sensor and the pelvicalyceal or ureteral wall.
The AI model was developed using 20 IRP records for training and validated on 7 external cases, achieving a mean F1-score of X (insert actual score).
Interpretation:
The study highlights the importance of accurate IRP monitoring in RIRS and demonstrates the potential of AI to enhance data reliability by correcting artifacts, which could lead to improved patient outcomes.
Limitations:
The study was limited to a specific patient population and settings, which may affect generalizability and applicability to broader clinical contexts.
The sample size for model training and testing was relatively small, potentially limiting the robustness of the AI model's performance.
Conclusion:
The AI-based artifact correction system shows promise in improving the accuracy of IRP monitoring during RIRS, potentially reducing the risk of postoperative complications and enhancing patient safety.
