The Progress of Gout Prediction Models Based on Multi-source Data.

introductionGout, a highly serious inflammatory disease that is caused by monosodium urate crystals, is becoming an increasingly significant health concern. Artificial Intelligence and multi-omics-based research have made significant gains for the early detection and prevention of gout based on diverse approaches. This review intends to summarize current advances in forecasting gout susceptibility and gout-related symptoms, evaluate the predictive efficacy of different features, and ascertain which clinical and omics characteristics are most effective in these prediction models.

methodsWe explored the PubMed database after 2010 using keywords such as "gout", "predictive model", "risk prediction", and "machine learning", and confined our search to Englishlanguage articles. The original peer-reviewed research articles that developed gout models were selected. Research that was not original or lacked internal validation was excluded.

resultsClinical features, genomics, microbiomics, radiomics, and metabolomics have been utilized to construct models related to gout and have demonstrated excellent predictive performance. Multisource data prediction models usually exhibit better effectiveness. DISCUSSION: Gout-oriented models performed excellently in predictive performance but present limitations in certain clinical and omics domains. However, if they are to affect actual patient care, they must overcome some external confirmation roadblocks and the fiscal and practical implications they will face ahead of time.

conclusionThis review indicates that clinical and multi-omics models of gout are significant instruments for clinical decision-making. The models constructed in these studies may be crucial for the treatment of gout and its practical benefits.
