Grupos de pacientes identificados por aprendizado de máquina a partir de uma análise agrupada do programa de desenvolvimento clínico do secukinumabe em artrite psoriática, espondilite anquilosante e artrite psoriática com manifestações axiais

Clin Exp Rheumatol 2023;42(3):696–701 doi: 10.55563/clinexprheumatol/b8co74

Psoriatic arthritis clusters, obtained by machine learning (ML) analysis of pooled data from the FUTURE, MEASURE, and MAXIMISE trials, indicate phenotypical heterogeneity of patients with PsA and axial manifestations and overlapping features across the spondyloarthritis spectrum. Here, Baraliakos, et al. sort to identify distinct clinical clusters, based on patient demographics and baseline clinical indicators, from the secukinumab clinical development programme.

ML techniques can help identify distinct clusters of patients with potential therapeutic or prognostic significance, leading to a better understanding of disease and evolution towards precision medicine.
