[0002] Currently, a vast amount of data has accumulated in the field of cochlear implantation, but there are few reports, both domestically and internationally, on machine learning-based predictive models for postoperative outcomes in cochlear implant patients. In clinical practice, a universally applicable machine learning-based predictive model for postoperative outcomes in cochlear implant patients has not yet been established. To fully utilize the data in the field of cochlear implantation and transform it into meaningful resources, constructing a machine learning-based predictive model for postoperative outcomes in cochlear implant patients is crucial.

[0003] However, at present, the recovery effect of cochlear implant patients can only be predicted based on the doctor's personal experience. The prediction results will be subject to the doctor's personal subjectivity and may be wrong due to fatigue. Summary of the Invention

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is one of the flowcharts for the method of predicting the postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation effect of cochlear implant patients provided by the present invention.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, the method for predicting the postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation effect in cochlear implant patients provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0052] S110: Obtain the original information data of the target patient to be predicted, wherein the original information data of the target patient includes the cochlear type, preoperative information and postoperative information of the target patient;

[0053] S120: When the cochlear type is normal cochlea, the original information data of the target patient is input into a pre-trained first prediction model to obtain a first prediction result for normal cochlea; wherein, the first prediction model is obtained by training a machine learning model using a pre-built normal cochlear dataset, and the normal cochlear dataset is composed of the original information data of normal cochlear patient samples.

[0054] S130: In the case that the cochlear type is malformed cochlea, the original information data of the target patient is input into a pre-trained second prediction model to obtain a second prediction result for malformed cochlea; wherein, the second prediction model is obtained by training a machine learning model using a pre-constructed malformed cochlea dataset, the malformed cochlea dataset being composed of the original information data of malformed cochlea patient samples.

[0055] In some embodiments, the training of the first prediction model and the second prediction model includes:

[0056] The raw information data of all patient samples within a previously preset time period are obtained, and the raw information data of the patient samples are integrated based on the cochlear type to obtain the normal cochlear dataset composed of the raw information data of normal cochlear patient samples, and the abnormal cochlear dataset composed of the raw information data of abnormal cochlear patient samples.

[0057] The original information data of the patient sample includes the cochlear type, preoperative information, and postoperative information of the patient sample.

[0058] The integration of the patient's original information data specifically includes:

[0059] Preprocessing of the original normal cochlear dataset: Iterate through the original patient information data, delete data containing missing values ​​and remove irrelevant variables; normalize the remaining continuous variables after deletion.

[0060] The original cochlear malformation dataset is preprocessed as follows: the original patient information data is traversed, irrelevant variables are removed, and the remaining discrete variables are one-hot encoded; the original patient information data is traversed again, and missing values ​​are imputed; the remaining continuous variables after missing value imputation are normalized.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first prediction model is obtained by training a machine learning model using a pre-built normal cochlear dataset, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0062] S210: Preprocess the normal cochlear dataset; specifically, traverse the original information data of the patient samples, delete data containing missing values ​​and remove irrelevant variables, and normalize the remaining continuous variables after deletion.

[0063] S220: In the preprocessed normal cochlear dataset, calculate the correlation between the preoperative information and the postoperative information of the normal cochlear patient samples to obtain a first correlation result; for example, the chi-square test and Spearman correlation algorithm can be used to calculate the correlation between the preoperative information and the postoperative information.

[0064] S230: Sort the first relevance results from high to low according to feature importance;

[0065] S240: Input the dataset consisting of the first k1 sorted features into a pre-built machine learning model to train the first prediction model.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second prediction model is obtained by training a machine learning model using a pre-built dataset of abnormal cochleas, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0067] S310: Preprocess the abnormal cochlear dataset; specifically, traverse the original information data of the patient samples, remove irrelevant variables and perform one-hot encoding on the remaining discrete variables; traverse the original information data of the patients and impute missing values; normalize the remaining continuous variables after imputation of missing values.

[0068] S320: In the preprocessed cochlear deformity dataset, calculate the correlation between the preoperative information and the postoperative information of the cochlear deformity patient samples to obtain a second correlation result; for example, the chi-square test and Spearman correlation algorithm can also be used to calculate the correlation between the preoperative information and the postoperative information.

[0069] S330: Sort the second relevance results from high to low according to feature importance;

[0070] S340: Input the dataset consisting of the first k2 features after sorting into a pre-built machine learning model to train the second prediction model.

[0071] In other words, during the training of the first and second prediction models, the original patient information data within a preset time period is first acquired and integrated to obtain datasets for normal cochlear implants and abnormal cochlear implants. Each dataset includes preoperative and postoperative information for the corresponding patient. Based on the preoperative and postoperative information in each dataset, the correlation between the preoperative and postoperative information is analyzed, and the features are ranked by importance. Based on the ranked features of each dataset, the corresponding datasets of the top k features are extracted, and prediction models for preoperative information and postoperative information in each dataset are established, obtaining evaluation metrics for the prediction models. Based on the evaluation metrics of the prediction models in each dataset, the best model for each dataset is selected. Specifically, the best prediction model for hearing and speech after cochlear implantation in patients with normal cochlear implants is trained in the normal cochlear implant dataset, and the best prediction model for hearing and speech after cochlear implantation in patients with abnormal cochlear implants is trained in the abnormal cochlear implant dataset. This facilitates doctors in accurately predicting the postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation effects of patients.

[0072] In some embodiments, when training the first prediction model and the second prediction model, the correlation between the preoperative information and the postoperative information obtained by the analysis can be analyzed using methods such as chi-square test and Spearman correlation to analyze the influence of the preoperative information on the postoperative information in their respective datasets.

[0073] Specifically, the ranking of feature importance includes:

[0074] The influence of the preoperative information on the postoperative information was obtained using the chi-square test and Spearman correlation method. The results were normalized, and the normalized results were summed and sorted to obtain a comprehensive feature ranking with decreasing importance.

[0075] The extraction of the corresponding dataset of the first k features after sorting (it should be understood that, for ease of distinction, these k features are k1 features when training the first prediction model, and k2 features when training the second prediction model) further includes:

[0076] For a dataset containing k features, divide it into a training set and a test set in a 4:1 ratio. The training set is used to train the random forest model, and the test set is used to test the model's performance to obtain the model's evaluation metrics.

[0077] For a dataset containing k features, the details are as follows:

[0078] k = 1, 2, ..., n, where n is the number of features after removing the labels from each dataset (normal cochlea, abnormal cochlea).

[0079] In some embodiments, when training the first and second prediction models, it is necessary to analyze the correlation between the preoperative and postoperative information based on the preoperative and postoperative information of each corresponding patient and rank the features by importance. The specific process can be as follows: using the chi-square test and Spearman correlation method, analyze the influence of the preoperative information on the postoperative information in each dataset. Using the chi-square test and Spearman correlation method, obtain the influence results of the preoperative information on the postoperative information, normalize the respective results, and sum and rank the normalized results to obtain a comprehensive feature ranking in descending order of importance.

[0080] This embodiment describes the chi-square test and the Spearman correlation algorithm.

[0081] Specifically, the chi-square test falls under the category of non-parametric tests, primarily used to compare the correlation between two or more sample rates (proportions) and two categorical variables. Its fundamental idea is to compare the degree of agreement or goodness of fit between theoretical and actual frequencies. A larger chi-square value indicates a greater deviation between the observed and expected values, suggesting a weaker independence between the two events. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0082]

[0083] Spearman correlation is also a method for measuring variable similarity. It measures the degree of correlation between continuous variables, with an output range of -1 to +1. 0 represents no correlation, negative values ​​indicate negative correlation, and positive values ​​indicate positive correlation. Variables with a high degree of similarity to the target variable are considered more important. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0084]

[0085] Where: d i This represents the difference in rank between the i-th data pairs, where n is the total number of observed samples.

[0086] In this embodiment, influencing factors are analyzed for the two target variables, "SIR" and "CAP". A strong correlation indicates high importance, and vice versa. Specifically, as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0087] Then, based on the features of each dataset sorted, the corresponding datasets of the top k features after sorting are extracted, a prediction model of preoperative information on postoperative information of each dataset is established, and the evaluation index of the prediction model is obtained.

[0088] The steps after extracting the corresponding dataset of the first k features after sorting are as follows:

[0089] For the dataset containing the top k features after extraction and sorting, a training set and a test set are divided in a 4:1 ratio. The training set is used to train the random forest model, and the test set is used to test the model's performance to obtain the model's evaluation metric. Here, k = 1, 2, ..., n, where n is the number of features after removing labels from each dataset (normal cochlea, abnormal cochlea).

[0090] Based on the evaluation metrics of the prediction models for each dataset, the best prediction model for each dataset is selected, namely: the best prediction model for hearing and speech after cochlear implantation in patients with normal cochlear implantation is trained in the normal cochlear implant dataset; and the best prediction model for hearing and speech after cochlear implantation in patients with malformed cochlear implantation is trained in the malformed cochlear implant dataset.

[0091] In the above specific embodiments, the machine learning-based method for predicting postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation outcomes in cochlear implant patients provided by this invention uses raw data as a foundation and combines artificial intelligence machine learning algorithms to construct a prognostic prediction model, which can assist doctors in predicting the prognosis of cochlear implant patients. Specifically, based on statistical analysis, factors that significantly influence prognostic prediction are identified, and their degree of influence is ranked. The datasets of the k most influential features are selected to construct the model, and the model with the best evaluation index is chosen as the prognostic model, thus maximizing the accuracy of the prognostic model prediction. This solves the technical problem in existing technologies that cannot predict postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation outcomes in cochlear implant patients based on big data.

[0092] The above method will be applied to a specific example to demonstrate its implementation process and technical effects.

[0093] The original patient information data within a previously preset time period is acquired and integrated to obtain datasets of normal and abnormal cochlea. Each dataset includes the preoperative and postoperative information of the corresponding patient.

[0094] First, the raw data was analyzed as a whole, which included two datasets: a normal cochlea dataset and a cochlea malformation dataset. Each dataset consisted of two parts: "preoperative information" and "postoperative information" of the patient.

[0095] The "preoperative information" features include: age in months; residual hearing (marked as 125 if there is no residual hearing); cochlear foramen width; internal auditory canal width; number of nerve points (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4...); facial nerve area; vestibulocochlear nerve area; VCN / FN; 40Hz (classified as 1 or 0 based on presence or absence of response); ABR (classified as 1 or 0 based on presence or absence of response); CM (classified as 1 or 0 based on presence or absence of response); DPOAE (classified as 1 or 0 based on presence or absence of response); acoustic impedance representing tympanic membrane status (e.g., A, As, B, C, replaced by 0, 1, 2, 3 respectively); and implantation side (e.g., left side L, right side R).

[0096] The features of "postoperative information" can include the hearing CAP and speech SIR rehabilitation outcomes of cochlear implant patients 2 years after surgery. CAP ranges from 0 to 7; SIR ranges from 1 to 5.

[0097] The features mentioned above are all information features that need to be included in the normal cochlear dataset. Furthermore, the "preoperative information" features of the cochlear malformation dataset are slightly different from those of the normal cochlear dataset, while the "postoperative information" features are the same. The "preoperative information" features in the cochlear malformation dataset include: sex; age in months; cochlear implant manufacturer, such as AB, Med, Nu, Nor; implantation side; average ASSR; 40Hz; ABR; CM; DPOAE; acoustic impedance; PTA; cochlear type, such as CA, CC, CH, IP-I, IP-II, IP-III, RO; and number of nerve points.

[0098] The preprocessing procedure for the normal cochlear dataset is illustrated below:

[0099] Step 1: Since the data integrity is high, data with incomplete feature information is directly deleted.

[0100] Step 2: Delete the features “VCN / FN”, “40Hz”, “ABR”, “CM”, “DPOAE”, “acoustic impedance”, and “implantation side”.

[0101] Step 3: Perform maximum and minimum normalization on the characteristic information of "age in months", "residual hearing", "cochlear foramen width", "internal auditory canal width", "facial nerve area" and "vestibular cochlear nerve area".

[0102] The specific process for preprocessing the cochlear malformation dataset is as follows:

[0103] Step 1: Delete the features “gender”, “implantation side”, “CM”, “DPOAE”, and “PTA”.

[0104] Step 2: Perform one-hot encoding on the feature information of "cochlear implant manufacturer", "40Hz", "ABR", "acoustic impedance" and "cochlear type";

[0105] Step 3: Use the MissForest algorithm to impute missing values ​​in the cochlear malformation dataset;

[0106] Step 4: Perform max-min normalization on the feature information of "age in months" and "average ASSR".

[0107] After preprocessing both datasets, the following steps are the same; here, we take the normal cochlear dataset as an example.

[0108] When ranking important influencing factors, the following steps are included as an example:

[0109] First, the chi-square test and Spearman correlation were used to analyze the degree of influence of the processed feature information on the postoperative hearing CAP rehabilitation effect of patients.

[0110] Then, the results of the chi-square test and Spearman test are normalized. The normalized results are summed and sorted according to the same features to obtain the comprehensive influence feature ranking in descending order of importance.

[0111] When establishing a patient prognostic model, the following steps are included as an example:

[0112] Based on the ranking results of comprehensive influence features, the corresponding datasets for the top k features (k=1, 2, ..., 7) are extracted. For each dataset containing k=1, 2, ..., 7 features, a training set and a test set are divided in a 4:1 ratio. The training set is used to train a random forest model, and the test set is used to test the model's performance. A random forest prediction model for feature-based CAP is built on the training set, and the test set tests the seven prediction models to obtain seven evaluation metrics. Based on the evaluation metrics, the optimal CAP prediction model for hearing in normal cochlear implant patients is selected.

[0113] Based on existing data, a random forest model was trained using centralized feature information and postoperative information (SIR) from normal cochlear datasets to obtain a predictive model for speech rehabilitation after cochlear implantation in patients with normal cochlea. A random forest model was trained using centralized feature information and postoperative information (CAP) from cochlear malformation datasets to obtain a predictive model for hearing rehabilitation after cochlear implantation in patients with cochlear malformation. A random forest model was trained using centralized feature information and postoperative information (SIR) from cochlear malformation datasets to obtain a predictive model for speech rehabilitation after cochlear implantation in patients with cochlear malformation.

[0114] Finally, the above steps are packaged into interactive software to form a platform for predicting the postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation effects of cochlear implant patients.

[0115] In practical applications, the accuracy rate of the prediction model for hearing rehabilitation after cochlear implantation in patients with normal cochlea can reach 79%; the accuracy rate of the prediction model for speech rehabilitation after cochlear implantation in patients with normal cochlea can reach 93%; the accuracy rate of the prediction model for hearing rehabilitation after cochlear implantation in patients with cochlear malformation can reach 87%; and the accuracy rate of the prediction model for speech rehabilitation after cochlear implantation in patients with cochlear malformation can reach 67%.

[0116] As described above, taking cochlear implant patients as an example, this invention, based on cochlear medicine and combined with artificial intelligence machine learning algorithms, constructs a postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation model for cochlear implant patients. For preprocessed cochlear implant patient data, through normalization, statistically, the important factors affecting postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation are summarized and ranked according to their degree of influence. The k most important features are selected sequentially to train prediction models for postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation outcomes in patients with normal cochlea and patients with cochlear malformations. The optimal number of features is chosen to establish the prognostic model, ensuring both robustness and accuracy.

[0117] In addition to the methods described above, this invention also provides a device for predicting the postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation effects in patients with cochlear implantation, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the device includes:

[0118] The data acquisition unit 610 is used to acquire the original information data of the target patient to be predicted, the original information data of the target patient including the cochlear type, preoperative information and postoperative information of the target patient;

[0119] The first result output unit 620 is used to input the original information data of the target patient into a pre-trained first prediction model when the cochlear type is normal cochlea, so as to obtain a first prediction result for normal cochlea.

[0120] The second result output unit 630 is used to input the original information data of the target patient into a pre-trained second prediction model when the cochlear type is malformed cochlea, so as to obtain a second prediction result for malformed cochlea.

[0122] The second prediction model is obtained by training a machine learning model using a pre-built dataset of abnormal cochleas, which consists of raw information data of samples from patients with abnormal cochleas.

[0138] The dataset consisting of the first k2 sorted features is input into a pre-built machine learning model to train the second prediction model.

[0139] In some embodiments, the preprocessing of the abnormal cochlear dataset specifically includes:

[0140] The original information data of the patient samples is traversed, irrelevant variables are removed, and the remaining discrete variables are one-hot encoded; the original information data of the patients is traversed, and missing values ​​are imputed; the remaining continuous variables after missing value imputed are normalized.

[0141] In the above specific embodiments, the cochlear implant patient postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation effect prediction device provided by the present invention acquires the original information data of the target patient to be predicted. The original information data of the target patient includes the cochlear type, preoperative information, and postoperative information of the target patient. When the cochlear type is normal, the original information data of the target patient is input into a pre-trained first prediction model to obtain a first prediction result for normal cochlea. When the cochlear type is malformed, the original information data of the target patient is input into a pre-trained second prediction model to obtain a second prediction result for malformed cochlea.

[0142] This approach applies machine learning to predict the postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation outcomes of cochlear implant patients, using it as a tool to assist doctors in prediction. This avoids predictions being limited by human experience and provides more objective and accurate results. It solves the technical problem in existing technologies where the inability to predict postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation outcomes of cochlear implant patients based on big data leads to poor prediction accuracy.
