Multimodal data deep learning method for predicting symptomatic pneumonitis caused by lung cancer radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy by Mingyu Yang, Jianli Ma, Chengcheng Zhang, Liming Zhang, Jianyu Xu, Shilong Liu, Jian Li, Jiabin Han, Songliu Hu

“…A five-fold cross-validation approach was implemented to construct the model, automatically splitting the dataset into training and validation sets at an 8:2 ratio. This process was repeated five times, and the results from these iterations were aggregated to compute the average values of performance metrics, thereby assessing the overall performance and stability of the model.ResultsThe multimodal fusion model developed in this research, which incorporated depth image characteristics, radiomics properties, and clinical data, demonstrated an AUC of 0.922 (95% CI: 0.902-0.945, P value < 0.001). …”
