Evaluation of a COVID-19 Pneumonia CXR AI Detection Algorithm

September 22, 2020 updated by: Ensemble Group Holdings, LLC

Evaluation of a Chest X-Ray AI Neural Network (RadGen SARS-CoV2 Detection System) for the Detection of RT-PCR Confirmed SARS-Cov2 Covid-19 Pneumonia

This study investigates the diagnostic performance of an AI algorithm in the detection of COVID-19 pneumonia on chest radiographs.

Detailed Description

This is an international multi-center study. Chest radiographs (CXR) from different participating centers will be collected to develop an AI algorithm to detect COVID-19 pneumonia. This will be tested on external hold out datasets from different centers using SARS-CoV-2 by Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) Assay as ground truth.

Study Population

There will be three subsets of study population in this study; patients who were

  1. RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 positive
  2. RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 negative
  3. either had a diagnosis of pneumonia before the 1st January 2020.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All adult patients >18 years of age
  • Attended any of the participating institutes between February 1, 2020 until September, 2020
  • Underwent both RT-PCR testing and frontal CXR (within 48 hours of PCR testing) for COVID-19 infection
  • frontal CXR of patients pre-covid pandemic

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unavailability of patient demographics and clinical data
  • Inconclusive RT-PCR results
  • CXR considered to be of non-diagnostic quality by the clinical radiology research team at each site
  • CXR not in a retrievable or processable format for AI inference

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diagnostic Performance of AI model
Time Frame: 9 months
Performance (accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, false-positive rate (FPR), false-negative rate (FNR), and Area Under the Curve (AUC)) of the AI model in detection of COVID-19 pneumonia on their baseline CXR using RT-PCR and historical controls as gold standard in a multi-center / multi-national cohort.
