Machine learning-based causal models for predicting the response of individual patients to dexamethasone treatment as prophylactic antiemetic

Taisuke Mizuguchi, Shigehito Sawamura

Summary: Risk-based strategies are widely used for decision making in the prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). This study used machine learning-based algorithms to predict the treatment response heterogeneity of dexamethasone, the first choice for prophylactic antiemetics. The results suggested that predicting treatment responders by CATE models may be more appropriate for clinical decision making than conventional risk-based strategy.

Summary: In patients with multiple sclerosis, the determination of brain atrophy in specific regions is clinically relevant. However, analyzing large datasets is challenging due to the increased variability in multicenter data. This study compared different methods to correct for center effects and investigated regional gray matter volume in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis using a large multicenter dataset. The results showed that harmonization based on subsampling effectively reduced the residuals of the statistical model applied, and the multicenter results were more robust compared to findings from single-center analysis, highlighting the importance of data repositories from multiple centers.
