ABSTRACT
Differential diagnosis of acute loss of consciousness (LOC) is crucial due to the need for different therapeutic strategies despite similar clinical presentations among etiologies such as nonconvulsive status epilepticus, metabolic encephalopathy, and benzodiazepine intoxication. While altered functional connectivity (FC) plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of LOC, there has been a lack of efforts to develop differential diagnosis artificial intelligence (AI) models that feature the distinctive FC change patterns specific to each LOC cause. Three approaches were applied for extracting features for the AI models three-dimensional FC adjacency matrices, vectorized FC values, and graph theoretical measurements. Deep learning using convolutional neural networks (CNN) and various machine learning algorithms were implemented to compare classification accuracy using electroencephalography (EEG) data with different epoch sizes. The CNN model using FC adjacency matrices achieved the highest accuracy with an AUC of 0.905, with 20-s epoch data being optimal for classifying the different LOC causes. The high accuracy of the CNN model was maintained in a prospective cohort. Key distinguishing features among the LOC causes were found in the delta and theta brain wave bands. This research advances the understanding of LOC's underlying mechanisms and shows promise for enhancing diagnosis and treatment selection. Moreover, the AI models can provide accurate LOC differentiation with a relatively small amount of EEG data in 20-s epochs, which may be clinically useful.
