Machine learning-based prediction of Geboes score and histologic improvement and remission thresholds in ulcerative colitis

Study Background

Histology is emerging as a potential therapeutic endpoint for ulcerative colitis (UC) driven by associations between histologic response and long-term outcomes1. However, existing scoring systems are subjective and consequently have variable inter- and intra-reader variability2. Furthermore, manual histologic assessment is semi-quantitative and limited in the ability to capture spatial relationships.

Here we report the first machine learning (ML)-based prediction of the Geboes score, and GS-derived thresholds of histologic improvement and remission3, directly from whole slide images (WSI) of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained mucosal biopsies. Together, PathAI models for characterization of the UC histology (IBD-Explore) and the PathAI algorithm for Geboes scoring (AI-measurement of histological improvement in UC (AIM-HI UC); for research use only) have the potential to identify clinically relevant histologic features, enable robust scoring, and ultimately advance precision medicine for patients with IBD.
