Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of medical artificial intelligence and tuberculosis screening technology, specifically to a scoring system and method for tuberculosis based on AI collaborative logic auditing of multidimensional risks. Background Technology
[0002] Tuberculosis is a serious infectious disease that poses a significant threat to public health worldwide, and a positive virological test is traditionally the gold standard for diagnosis. However, a large number of patients in clinical practice present with "bacterial-negative tuberculosis" (negative virological test but highly suspicious imaging findings), or are in the process of transitioning from latent infection to active tuberculosis. Screening and diagnosing these patients has become a challenge for prevention and control.
[0003] Existing tuberculosis screening tools are mostly based on fixed-threshold scoring systems, which suffer from rigid indicators and a lack of dynamic logical verification. On the one hand, they cannot effectively integrate multi-dimensional clinical data for comprehensive assessment and are insufficient in capturing patients with atypical imaging manifestations. On the other hand, they struggle to identify logical contradictions in clinical data, easily leading to missed or misdiagnosed cases. Furthermore, traditional screening tools lack interpretability in decision-making, and treatment recommendations lack standardization, making it difficult to achieve homogenized diagnosis and treatment between primary and specialized medical institutions, and failing to meet the needs of research data mining. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent decision-making system that integrates authoritative guidelines and artificial intelligence technology to reconstruct the early tuberculosis screening workflow and improve screening accuracy and diagnostic efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scoring system and method for multidimensional risk auditing of tuberculosis based on AI collaborative logic.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This system includes a data entry module, a structured weighted scoring module, an AI collaborative logic auditing module, a fusion risk assessment module, a decision output module, and a data management module. These modules work together to achieve multidimensional risk scoring and intelligent decision-making for tuberculosis.
[0006] Data entry module: Supports the collection of structured indicator data, including epidemiological, imaging, etiological, immunological, clinical phenotype and free text clinical notes, ensuring data comprehensiveness and flexibility. The collected data is stored after standardization processing to provide a basis for subsequent scoring and auditing.
[0007] Structured weighted scoring module: Strictly following the WHO and Chinese classification of tuberculosis standards, a five-dimensional weighted model is constructed. Among them, the imaging feature dimension innovatively adopts the Max+0.5 * Others multi-feature overlay algorithm, which breaks through the limitations of single-feature scoring and objectively restores pathological changes; the other dimensions quantify the indicators according to preset weight rules and output the initial guideline score.
[0008] The AI-powered collaborative logic auditing module integrates the Gemini 3 series large-scale language models and employs multi-model logic tracing technology to perform thought chain auditing. On one hand, it identifies logical paradoxes in clinical data through logical contradiction auditing, such as an extremely low BMI with gaps but a negative etiological test, indicating a risk of missed diagnosis. On the other hand, through offset correction, it mines implicit information in free-text clinical notes, such as a persistent cough for over three months without response to anti-inflammatory treatment, dynamically adjusting the initial guideline score to ensure its clinical authenticity.
[0009] The integrated risk assessment module calculates the integrated risk score based on the initial guideline score and the audit results of AI collaborative logic, and classifies patients into six risk levels—none, low, medium, high, very high, and confirmed—according to preset thresholds, providing a basis for subsequent diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
[0010] Decision output module: Transforms static treatment guidelines into dynamic algorithms, automatically generating standardized clinical pathway recommendations based on different risk levels, such as bronchoscopic intervention, experimental treatment, and home follow-up, to achieve homogenization of diagnosis and treatment; at the same time, it outputs a visual audit report, which shows in detail the expert's logical chain of thought and the weight contribution of each clinical feature, taking into account the needs of decision support, scientific research and clinical teaching.
[0011] Data Management Module: Employs encrypted storage and dynamic cloud synchronization technologies to ensure the security and traceability of case data; enables digital tracking of the entire lifecycle of cases, forming a closed loop from initial screening, assessment, collaborative reasoning to diagnosis and record-keeping; supports batch analysis and export of clinical data and secondary AI auditing of historical medical records, providing high-quality data samples for research projects.
[0012] Implementation method The implementation method of the present invention includes the following steps: 1. Data Acquisition and Structured Processing: Clinical data, including structured indicator data, is collected through the data entry module. This includes epidemiological and occupational history, imaging features, pathogen laboratory indicators, immunological indicators, clinical phenotypes, and free-text clinical notes. The data is then standardized, such as by unifying the format and removing outliers, before being stored in an encrypted database.
[0013] 2. Structured Weighted Scoring: The structured weighted scoring module calls a five-dimensional weight model to quantify and score the standardized structured indicator data. Among them, the imaging features dimension uses the "Max + 0.5 * Others" algorithm to superimpose scores on multiple typical features, while the other dimensions are scored according to preset weight rules, such as assigning values to high-risk medical history and quantitative standards for test results, and finally output the initial guideline score.
[0014] 3. AI Collaborative Logic Audit: The AI Collaborative Logic Audit module activates the Gemini 3 series large model to perform thought chain auditing on clinical data. Logical contradiction identification: Traverse clinical data to automatically identify logical paradoxes and generate risk warnings; Offset Correction: Extract implicit and effective information from free-text clinical notes and dynamically adjust the initial guideline scores in a context-aware manner in conjunction with the clinical scenario to correct scoring bias.
[0015] 4. Fusion Risk Assessment: The fusion risk assessment module weights and fuses the initial guideline score and the offset correction result to calculate the fusion risk score. Then, based on the preset risk level thresholds, such as no high risk: 0-10 points, low risk: 11-20 points, etc., the patient's risk level is classified.
[0016] 5. Decision Output: The decision output module matches corresponding standardized clinical pathway recommendations based on the risk level, and generates a visual audit report, which includes the expert's logical thinking chain, the weight contribution of each clinical feature, and the risk level description. The report is presented to clinicians through the terminal, with a total time of no more than 10 seconds.
[0017] 6. Data Management and Scientific Research Applications: The data management module encrypts and stores case data and synchronizes it with the cloud, enabling digital tracking throughout the entire lifecycle. It supports physicians in performing batch analysis and export of clinical data through the "Data Perspective" function, or in conducting secondary AI audits of historical medical records through the "Batch Collaborative Reasoning" function, quickly screening potential subclinical patients and providing data support for scientific research.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention enhances the ability to capture patients with atypical imaging manifestations through a structured scoring system based on five dimensions and a multi-sign overlay algorithm. The AI-powered collaborative logic auditing function effectively identifies logical inconsistencies in the data and corrects scoring deviations, significantly reducing missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses, particularly suitable for screening septic-negative tuberculosis and subclinical tuberculosis. The entire process, from data entry to outputting the audit report, takes no more than 10 seconds, greatly reducing the diagnostic difficulty for primary care physicians. The visualized audit report displays the complete expert thought process chain, while also providing high-quality materials for research and clinical teaching.
[0019] Based on risk levels, it automatically generates standardized clinical pathway recommendations, transforming static guidelines into dynamic algorithms to ensure consistency in treatment plans across different medical institutions and physicians at different levels. Encryption and cloud synchronization technologies guarantee data security and traceability, while full-lifecycle digital tracking meets clinical management needs. Batch analysis and secondary auditing functions support research data mining. It is suitable for early tuberculosis screening and clinical decision support in various scenarios, including primary healthcare institutions, specialized hospitals, and welfare institutions, demonstrating strong practicality and widespread application value.
[0020] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Detailed Implementation
[0021] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the examples. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0022] Unless otherwise specified, the technical solutions described in this invention are conventional solutions in the field; unless otherwise specified, the materials described are all from commercial channels.
[0023] Example 1: System Deployment and Data Acquisition This system is developed based on the Google Gemini 3 Pro collaboration engine and deployed on a cloud server, supporting access by medical institutions via computer terminals and tablet terminals. Clinicians enter patient information through the data entry module: Epidemiological and occupational history: The patient is HIV-infected, has a history of close contact with a tuberculosis patient, and works as a hospital caregiver; Imaging findings: Chest CT showed tree-in-bud sign and a small number of caseous lesions; Laboratory indicators for pathogens: Xpert test negative, sputum smear negative; Immunological marker: The quantitative value of the QFT test result was 18; Clinical phenotype: Symptoms of tuberculosis intoxication, such as low-grade fever, night sweats, and fatigue; Clinical Notes (Free Text): A patient had been experiencing a recurring cough for over four months, which was unresponsive to anti-inflammatory treatment.
[0024] Example 2: Scoring and Auditing Process S1. Structured Weighted Scoring: The structured weighted scoring module scores according to preset rules. The epidemiology and occupational history dimension gets 25 points, imaging signs get 18 points through the Max + 0.5 * Others algorithm, pathogen laboratory indicators get 5 points, immunological indicators get 20 points, clinical phenotype gets 15 points, and the initial guideline score totals 83 points.
[0025] S2, AI Collaborative Logic Audit: The Gemini 3 Pro model executed a thought chain audit, but failed to identify logical contradictions; the implicit information "repeated cough for more than 4 months, ineffective anti-inflammatory treatment" was extracted from the free text, and the initial guideline score was offset and corrected, resulting in a fusion risk score of 88 points.
[0026] 3. Risk level classification: Based on the preset threshold, the patient is classified as extremely high risk (80-90 points).
[0027] Example 3: Decision Output and Application The decision output module generates a standardized clinical pathway recommendation: "Bronchoscopic interventional examination is recommended to further clarify the diagnosis." It also outputs a visualized audit report, showing the weighted contribution of each indicator and the basis for AI corrections. After reviewing the report, the physician initiates bronchoscopy, ultimately confirming a diagnosis of subclinical tuberculosis, and the patient is admitted to standardized treatment. The data management module encrypts, stores, and tracks the patient's data, and this case can also be exported as a research data sample.
[0028] Example 4: Application of Scientific Data Mining A medical institution needs to conduct a study on the accuracy of tuberculosis screening for HIV-infected individuals. By exporting screening data of 500 HIV-infected individuals through the data management module of this system, and using the batch collaborative reasoning function for secondary AI auditing, 32 potential subclinical patients with initially moderate scores but who were corrected by AI were quickly screened out, providing core data samples for the study and significantly improving research efficiency.
