PURPOSE: To develop a method for automatizing the detection of subclinical keratoconus based on a tree classification.
DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study.
METHODS: setting: University Hospital of Bordeaux. participants: A total of 372 eyes of 197 patients were enrolled: 177 normal eyes of 95 subjects, 47 eyes of 47 patients with forme fruste keratoconus, and 148 eyes of 102 patients with keratoconus. observation procedure: All eyes were imaged with a dual Scheimpflug analyzer. Fifty-five parameters derived from anterior and posterior corneal measurements were analyzed for each eye and a machine learning algorithm, the classification and regression tree, was used to classify the eyes into the 3 above-mentioned conditions. main outcome measures: The performance of the machine learning algorithm for classifying eye conditions was evaluated, and the curvature, elevation, pachymetric, and wavefront parameters were analyzed in each group and compared.
RESULTS: The discriminating rules generated with the automated decision tree classifier allowed for discrimination between normal and keratoconus with 100% sensitivity and 99.5% specificity, and between normal and forme fruste keratoconus with 93.6% sensitivity and 97.2% specificity. The algorithm selected as the most discriminant variables parameters related to posterior surface asymmetry and thickness spatial distribution.
CONCLUSION: The machine learning classifier showed very good performance for discriminating between normal corneas and forme fruste keratoconus and provided a tool that is closer to an automated medical reasoning. This might help in the surgical decision before refractive surgery by providing a good sensitivity in detecting ectasia-susceptible corneas.
