AI tool could help identify life-threatening transplant complications

A powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tool could give clinicians a head start in identifying life-threatening complications after stem cell and bone marrow transplants, according to new research from MUSC Hollings Cancer Center.

Machine Learning Flags Cell Transplantation Risks

An artificial intelligence tool can identify potential complications after bone marrow or stem cell transplantation before symptoms arise, which could allow for more accurate monitoring of patients and pre-emptive treatment. The BIOPREVENT algorithm combines machine learning with immune biomarkers and clinical data to predict chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or death after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The tool, described in …

AI model supports early detection of post-transplant complications - Health Care Today

An AI-based tool may be able to predict the risk of developing chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and transplant-related death after stem cell or bone marrow transplant. Combining biomarkers with clinical factors, the AI tool predicted outcomes more accurately than clinical data alone, particularly for transplant-related mortality. The tool arranged patients into low- and high-risk groups, with clear differences in outcomes up to 18 months…
