    Toward the Development of a Comprehensive Clinically Oriented Patient Profile: A Systematic Review of the Purpose, Characteristic, and Methodological Quality of Classification Systems of Adult Spinal Deformity
    (OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2021-01-01) Kwan, Kenny Yat Hong; Naresh-Babu, J.; Jacobs, Wilco; de Kleuver, Marinus; Polly, David W.; Yilgor, Caglar; Wu, Yabin; Park, Jong-Beom; Ito, Manabu; van Hooff, Miranda L.; Deformity, A.O. Spine Knowledge Forum
    BACKGROUND: Existing adult spinal deformity (ASD) classification systems are based on radiological parameters but management of ASD patients requires a holistic approach. A comprehensive clinically oriented patient profile and classification of ASD that can guide decision-making and correlate with patient outcomes is lacking. OBJECTIVE: To perform a systematic review to determine the purpose, characteristic, and methodological quality of classification systems currently used in ASD. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Web of Science for literature published between January 2000 and October 2018. From the included studies, list of classification systems, their methodological measurement properties, and correlation with treatment outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: Out of 4470 screened references, 163 were included, and 54 different classification systems for ASD were identified. The most commonly used was the Scoliosis Research Society-Schwab classification system. A total of 35 classifications were based on radiological parameters, and no correlation was found between any classification system levels with patient-related outcomes. Limited evidence of limited quality was available on methodological quality of the classification systems. For studies that reported the data, intraobserver and interobserver reliability were good (kappa = 0.8). CONCLUSION:This systematic literature search revealed that current classification systems in clinical use neither include a comprehensive set of dimensions relevant to decision-making nor did they correlate with outcomes. A classification system comprising a core set of patient-related, radiological, and etiological characteristics relevant to the management of ASD is needed.

    CogNet: classification of gene expression data based on ranked active-subnetwork- oriented KEGG pathway enrichment analysis
    (PEERJ INC, 2021-01-01) Yousef, Malik; Ulgen, Ege; Sezerman, Osman Ugur
    Most of the traditional gene selection approaches are borrowed from other fields such as statistics and computer science, However, they do not prioritize biologically relevant genes since the ultimate goal is to determine features that optimize model performance metrics not to build a biologically meaningful model. Therefore, there is an imminent need for new computational tools that integrate the biological knowledge about the data in the process of gene selection and machine learning. Integrative gene selection enables incorporation of biological domain knowledge from external biological resources. In this study, we propose a new computational approach named CogNet that is an integrative gene selection tool that exploits biological knowledge for grouping the genes for the computational modeling tasks of ranking and classification. In CogNet, the pathfindR serves as the biological grouping tool to allow the main algorithm to rank active-subnetwork-oriented KEGG pathway enrichment analysis results to build a biologically relevant model. CogNet provides a list of significant KEGG pathways that can classify the data with a very high accuracy. The list also provides the genes belonging to these pathways that are differentially expressed that are used as features in the classification problem. The list facilitates deep analysis and better interpretability of the role of KEGG pathways in classification of the data thus better establishing the biological relevance of these differentially expressed genes. Even though the main aim of our study is not to improve the accuracy of any existing tool, the performance of the CogNet outperforms a similar approach called maTE while obtaining similar performance compared to other similar tools including SVM-RCE. CogNet was tested on 13 gene expression datasets concerning a variety of diseases.
