Abstract

Background

Hemoglobinopathies, the most common inherited blood disorder, are frequently underdiagnosed. Early identification of carriers is important for genetic counseling of couples at risk. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a novel machine learning model on a multicenter data set, covering a wide spectrum of hemoglobinopathies based on routine complete blood count (CBC) testing.

Methods

Hemoglobinopathy test results from 10 322 adults were extracted retrospectively from 8 Dutch laboratories. eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) and logistic regression models were developed to differentiate negative from positive hemoglobinopathy cases, using 7 routine CBC parameters. External validation was conducted on a data set from an independent Dutch laboratory, with an additional external validation on a Spanish data set (n = 2629) specifically for differentiating thalassemia from iron deficiency anemia (IDA).

Results

The XGB and logistic regression models achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of 0.88 and 0.84, respectively, in distinguishing negative from positive hemoglobinopathy cases in the independent external validation set. Subclass analysis showed that the XGB model reached an AUROC of 0.97 for β-thalassemia, 0.98 for α0-thalassemia, 0.95 for hom*ozygous α+-thalassemia, 0.78 for heterozygous α+-thalassemia, and 0.94 for the structural hemoglobin variants Hemoglobin C, Hemoglobin D, Hemoglobin E. Both models attained AUROCs of 0.95 in differentiating IDA from thalassemia.

Conclusions

Both the XGB and logistic regression model demonstrate high accuracy in predicting a broad range of hemoglobinopathies and are effective in differentiating hemoglobinopathies from IDA. Integration of these models into the laboratory information system facilitates automated hemoglobinopathy detection using routine CBC parameters.
