Trial summary

Brucella spondylitis, an infectious spinal disease caused by the invasion of Brucella bacteria into the body. Its diagnosis relies mainly on laboratory and imaging tests. Due to the limited diagnostic ability of X-ray and CT for Brucella spondylitis, MRI has become the main diagnostic tool. Read more about this study

About this study

Brucella spondylitis, an infectious spinal disease caused by the invasion of Brucella bacteria into the body. Its diagnosis relies mainly on laboratory and imaging tests. Due to the limited diagnostic ability of X-ray and CT for Brucella spondylitis, MRI has become the main diagnostic tool. In recent years, functional magnetic resonance technology has demonstrated great advantages in the diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation of brucellosis spondylitis, which can provide pathophysiologic information about the disease and is also a noninvasive and noninvasive diagnostic tool with a broader application prospect. Radiomics, an emerging approach, has also shown better diagnostic efficacy for this disease.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will incorporate 100 confirmed cases of Brucella spondylitis (BS) patients diagnosed at Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University. The patients receive routine scan with a Siemens Skyra 3.0T MRI scanner and the investigators collect clinical data and blood test results from the patients.The investigators segment the affected vertebral bodies by ITK-SNAP software on STIR images to create three-dimensional regions of interest. Then use Onekey software to extract radiomics features from the affected vertebral bodies. Employed t-tests and Lasso regression to select radiomics features. Then separately use radiomics features and combining it with clinical information to build random vector machine(SVM) and random forest(RF) models . All the models are constructed in the training set and their performance are evaluated on the validation set.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The useful value of radiomics of MRI in BS clinical diagnosis.

    The investigators will validate the results. The validation and external test cohorts will be used to evaluate the performance of the prediction models. The micro-avg and macro-avg precision, true positive (TP), true negative (TN), false positive (FP), false negative (FN), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score of different models will be calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves is going to be used to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the models, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was used to describe the discriminative power of the models. The investigators think radiomics of MRI can provide a reliable basis for early damage in brucellosis spondylitis and provides evidence for early clinical intervention.

    Measured: December 2024

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brucella Spondylitis, run by The Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Peng fei Qiao, MD (15904718239, 24853170@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The useful value of radiomics of MRI in BS clinical diagnosis. (time frame: December 2024). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jan 2024.
