    Searching For The Urine Osmolality Surrogate: An Automated Machine Learning Approach
    (2022) Topcu, Deniz Ilhan; Bayraktar, Nilufer; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1219-6368; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7886-3688; 000819864400001; E-3717-2019; Y-8758-2018
    Objectives Automated machine learning (AutoML) tools can help clinical laboratory professionals to develop machine learning models. The objective of this study was to develop a novel formula for the estimation of urine osmolality using an AutoML tool and to determine the efficiency of AutoML tools in a clinical laboratory setting. Methods Three hundred routine urinalysis samples were used for reference osmolality and urine clinical chemistry analysis. The H2O AutoML engine completed the machine learning development steps with minimum human intervention. Four feature groups were created, which include different urinalysis measurements according to the Boruta feature selection algorithm. Method comparison statistics including Spearman correlation, Passing-Bablok regression analysis were performed, and Bland Altman plots were created to compare model predictions with the reference method. The minimum allowable bias (24.17%) from biological variation data was used as the limit of agreement. Results The AutoML engine developed a total of 183 ML models. Conductivity and specific gravity had the highest variable importance. Models that include conductivity, specific gravity, and other urinalysis parameters had the highest R-2 (0.70-0.83), and 70-84% of results were within the limit of agreement. Conclusions Combining urinary conductivity with other urinalysis parameters using validated machine learning models can yield a promising surrogate. Additionally, AutoML tools facilitate the machine learning development cycle and should be considered for developing ML models in clinical laboratories.

    Estimation of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Concentration Using Machine Learning
    (2021) Cubukcu, Hikmet Can; Topcu, Deniz İlhan; 0000-0002-1219-6368; 34635916; E-3717-2019
    Objective Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) can be estimated using the Friedewald and Martin-Hopkins formulas. We developed LDL-C prediction models using multiple machine learning methods and investigated the validity of the new models along with the former formulas. Methods Laboratory data (n = 59,415) on measured LDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol were partitioned into training and test data sets. Linear regression, gradient-boosted trees, and artificial neural network (ANN) models were formed based on the training data. Paired-group comparisons were performed using a t-test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. We considered P values .2 to be statistically significant. Results For TG >= 177 mg/dL, the Friedewald formula underestimated and the Martin-Hopkins formula overestimated the LDL-C (P <.001), which was more significant for LDL-C <70 mg/dL. The linear regression, gradient-boosted trees, and ANN models outperformed the aforementioned formulas for TG >= 177 mg/dL and LDL-C <70 mg/dL based on a comparison with a homogeneous assay (P >.001 vs. P <.001) and classification accuracy. Conclusion Linear regression, gradient-boosted trees, and ANN models offer more accurate alternatives to the aforementioned formulas, especially for TG 177 to 399 mg/dL and LDL-C <70 mg/dL.
