| OBJECTIVE To explore the application of deep learning in the diagnosis and electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormality classification of patients with first-episode schizophrenia.METHODS From January 2020 to January 2023,100 patients with first-episode schizophrenia who were treated in Fuyang Third People 's Hospital and 100 healthy people who underwent physical examination and EEG examination in our hospital were selected as subjects. A long short-term memory ( LSTM ) deep learning network model was established based on EEG examination results. Accuracy, recall, precision and F1 score, disease diagnosis and EEG abnormality evaluation time were used as evaluation indicators, and the performance of the deep learning model was compared with the evaluation results of senior physicians.RESULTS The accuracy of LSTM model in the diagnosis of schizophrenia was 93.5 %, the recall rate was 92.0 %, the accuracy was 94.8 %, and the F1 score was 93.4, which was not significantly different from that of senior physicians ( P > 0.05 ). The accuracy, recall rate, accuracy and F1 score of LSTM model in the evaluation of EEG abnormality in schizophrenia were 94.0 %, 75.7 %, 72.9 % and 74.2, respectively, which were not significantly different from those of senior physicians ( P > 0.05 ). The time required for LSTM model to diagnose schizophrenia and disease abnormalities was lower than that of senior physicians, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ).CONLCLUSIONS The EEG-based LSTM deep learning model is used for the diagnosis of first-episode schizophrenia and the grading of EEG abnormalities. Its performance is not inferior to that of senior doctors, and the time-consuming is greatly shortened. It is suitable for the diagnosis of first-episode schizophrenia patients and the grading of EEG abnormalities in clinical practice. |
