Abstract
Purpose
To
overcome the limitations of single-modality predictors by developing
and validating a multimodal model (APNet) that integrates clinical
factors and contrast-enhanced CT features to predict recurrence of
moderate-to-severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP/SAP).
Methods
We
retrospectively collected clinical data and enhanced CT images from a
total of 235 patients with moderate-to-severe AP. To rigorously evaluate
model generalizability, the dataset was divided into two distinct
cohorts: a Development Cohort (N = 184) for model training and internal
cross-validation, and an Independent Validation Cohort (N = 51) for
performance evaluation. Clinical machine learning models were first
developed, followed by APNet, a multimodal deep learning model
integrating ResNet- and ViT-extracted CT features with clinical risk
factors through multiscale fusion.
Results
Among
single-modality approaches, the LightGBM model using clinical data
achieved an AUC of 0.711, while image-based deep learning with ResNet50
reached an AUC of 0.815. The proposed multimodal fusion model, APNet,
showed the best predictive performance, achieving an AUC of 0.840 on the
independent test set, with corresponding accuracy, precision, recall,
and F1 score of 82.35%, 66.67%, 80.00%, and 72.73%. Overall, APNet
consistently outperformed all single-modality models, highlighting the
complementary value of combining imaging features with clinical risk
factors.
Conclusion
APNet
effectively integrates clinical and imaging data, significantly
improving prediction of recurrence in MSAP/SAP patients. This multimodal
tool can help identify high-risk MSAP and SAP patients early,
supporting targeted interventions and better long-term outcomes.
