Objectives

Narrative objectives1

We previously developed the artificial intelligence engine to detect interstitial lung diseases on the chest X-ray image. Although we validated the detection ability of the AI engine with dataset of 200 chest X-ray images in the previous study, the number of images was not enough. Moreover, more than half of the images were derived from patients with interstitial lung diseases and this prevalence was completely different from the real world. By having the AI engine interpret the chest X-rays of the examinees who visit the medical examination center, we can evaluate the accuracy of the AI engine to detect interstitial lung diseases and estimate prevalence of interstitial lung diseases in the real world.

Results

2. Chest CT Cohort

Based on elevated SP-D and/or KL-6 levels or radiographic abnormalities, 228 participants were advised to undergo chest CT, and 81 actually completed the scan.
The mean age of the CT cohort was 63.0 years, comprising 31 females and 50 males. Among them, 58 had elevated SP-D, 24 had elevated KL-6, and 8 underwent CT because of abnormalities detected on chest radiographs.

Baseline Characteristics

Between June 2021 and June 2023, individuals aged 50 to 100 years who underwent routine health checkups at the Hokkaido Cancer Society, the Hokkaido Anti-Tuberculosis Association, and Shin-Yurigaoka General Hospital were randomly recruited. A total of 2,806 participants were enrolled, of whom 55 were excluded for the following reasons: withdrawal of consent (n = 24), missing chest radiograph or confidence score data (n = 23), missing serum SP-D or KL-6 data (n = 6), age < 50 years (n = 1), and duplicate registration (n = 1). Consequently, data from 2,751 participants were included in the final analysis. The cohort comprised 1,600 participants from the Hokkaido Cancer Society, 62 from the Hokkaido Anti-Tuberculosis Association, and 1,144 from Shin-Yurigaoka General Hospital.

Participant flow

Chest radiographs obtained at each health checkup facility were interpreted as part of the routine screening by designated radiologists. Individuals whose radiographs were judged as abnormal were formally advised to undergo a secondary examination with chest computed tomography. Likewise, participants whose serum SP-D (>=110 ng/mL) or KL-6 (>=500 IU/mL) levels exceeded the respective reference values were similarly advised to undergo chest CT.

Adverse events

No adverse events were observed.

Outcome measures

Sensitivity of SP-D:1.000 (95% CI, 0.518-1.000),specificity: 0.315 (0.211-0.434);positive predictive value:0.138 (0.061-0.254). Sensitivity of KL-6:0.750 (0.349-0.968);specificity:0.753 (0.639-0.847);positive predictive value:0.250 (0.098-0.467). Sensitivity of BMAX:1.000 (95% CI, 0.518-1.000);specificity:0.904 (0.812-0.961);positive predictive value:0.533 (0.266-0.787).

Other related information

We gather the data of the chest X-ray images and serum SP-D/KL-6 levels, gender, age, pre-existing illness, smoking history, etc. of examinees in the medical health examination. If examinees are indicated abnormalities on the chest X-ray images and/or high SP-D/KL-6 levels, they are recommended to go to the referral hospital for more detailed examination. We interpret the chest CT images taken at these hospitals. With the result of the CT interpretation as the correct answer, we make AI engine interpret the chest X-ray images at the first medical examination and evaluate the detectability of interstitial shadow of the AI engine. We estimate the actual prevalence of ILD from the number of images that AI engine judged to have interstitial lung shadows.
