Cardiovascular disease and stroke risk assessment in patients with chronic kidney disease using integration of estimated glomerular filtration rate, ultrasonic image phenotypes, and artificial intelligence: a narrative review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) together result in an enormous burden on global healthcare. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a well-established biomarker of CKD and is associated with adverse cardiac events. This review highlights the link between eGFR reduction and that of atherosclerosis progression, which increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. In general, CVD risk assessments are performed using conventional risk prediction models. However, since these conventional models were developed for a specific cohort with a unique risk profile and further these models do not consider atherosclerotic plaque-based phenotypes, therefore, such models can either underestimate or overestimate the risk of CVD events. This review examined the approaches used for CVD risk assessments in CKD patients using the concept of integrated risk factors. An integrated risk factor approach is one that combines the effect of conventional risk predictors and non-invasive carotid ultrasound image-based phenotypes. Furthermore, this review provided insights into novel artificial intelligence methods, such as machine learning and deep learning algorithms, to carry out accurate and automated CVD risk assessments and survival analyses in patients with CKD.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
