Abstract

Dyspnea is one of the most common manifestations of patients with pulmonary disease, myocardial dysfunction, and neuromuscular disorder, among other conditions. Identifying the causes of dyspnea in clinical practice, especially for the general practitioner, remains a challenge. This pilot study aimed to develop a computer-aided tool for improving the efficiency of differential diagnosis. The disease set with dyspnea as the chief complaint was established on the basis of clinical experience and epidemiological data. Differential diagnosis approaches were established and optimized by clinical experts. The artificial intelligence (AI) diagnosis model was constructed according to the dynamic uncertain causality graph knowledge-based editor. Twenty-eight diseases and syndromes were included in the disease set. The model contained 132 variables of symptoms, signs, and serological and imaging parameters. Medical records from the electronic hospital records of Suining Central Hospital were randomly selected. A total of 202 discharged patients with dyspnea as the chief complaint were included for verification, in which the diagnoses of 195 cases were coincident with the record certified as correct. The overall diagnostic accuracy rate of the model was 96.5%. In conclusion, the diagnostic accuracy of the AI model is promising and may compensate for the limitation of medical experience.

Type Symbol Medical meaning
Bi The B-type variable indicates a disease
Xi The X-type variable can represent (1) risk factors, such as smoking and alcoholism; and (2) clinical indications, such as symptoms, physical signs, laboratory examination, and imaging information
BXi The BX-type variable stands for a disease affected by risk factors
SXi The SX-type variable indicates some laboratory examinations or imaging information through which the disease can be diagnosed directly
Gi The G-type variable is used to express the logical relationship of clinical indications
RGi The RG-type variable is used to express the effect of combinations of clinical indications on diseases
SGi The SG-type variable is a special logic gate. It is only used to express the logical relationships between risk factors and diseases
Di The D-type variable represents the default input indicating the unknown cause
Fi The F-type variable indicates the causal relationship intensity between two clinical indications
Conditional Fi The function of the conditional F-type variable is the same as the F-type variable but with an observable validation condition; if the condition is true, then the variable functions, and vice versa
SAi The SA-type variable is used to represent the influence of risk factors on the probability of disease onset
Conditional SAi The function of conditional SA-type variable is the same as the SA-type variable but with an observable validation condition
