Abstract

This investigation aimed to explore deep learning (DL) models’ potential for diagnosing Pseudomonas keratitis using external eye images. In the retrospective research, the images of bacterial keratitis (BK, n = 929), classified as Pseudomonas (n = 618) and non-Pseudomonas (n = 311) keratitis, were collected. Eight DL algorithms, including ResNet50, DenseNet121, ResNeXt50, SE-ResNet50, and EfficientNets B0 to B3, were adopted as backbone models to train and obtain the best ensemble 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-DL models. Five-fold cross-validation was used to determine the ability of single and ensemble models to diagnose Pseudomonas keratitis. The EfficientNet B2 model had the highest accuracy (71.2%) of the eight single-DL models, while the best ensemble 4-DL model showed the highest accuracy (72.1%) among the ensemble models. However, no statistical difference was shown in the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and diagnostic accuracy among these single-DL models and among the four best ensemble models. As a proof of concept, the DL approach, via external eye photos, could assist in identifying Pseudomonas keratitis from BK patients. All the best ensemble models can enhance the performance of constituent DL models in diagnosing Pseudomonas keratitis, but the enhancement effect appears to be limited.
