Article Synopsis
- Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the main reason for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the U.S. and presents challenges for pathologists due to its complicated spatial patterns in kidney biopsies.
- A novel transformer-based framework is introduced that enhances ESRD prediction by employing advanced techniques like nonlinear dimensionality reduction and spatial self-attention, allowing for better contextual understanding of whole slide images (WSIs).
- This new model significantly outperformed traditional methods, achieving a high AUC of 0.97 for predicting two-year ESRD, showcasing the potential for improved predictive accuracy in limited pathology datasets.
