Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disorder in white skinned individuals. Chronic lung infection is the main cause of mortality in this disease. Approximately 60–75 % of adult CF patients frequently suffer from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection that is strongly associated with inflammation, lung destruction, and increased mortality. Therefore, CF patients should be followed up by physicians to diagnose infection in the primary stage, start treatment, and reduce the risk of chronic infection. Although sputum culture is the gold standard for diagnosis of PA infections, a rapid and accurate diagnostic method can facilitate early initiation of appropriate therapy and easy monitoring of the condition. The aim of this study was to diagnose CF patients with infection using their lung sound.
In this study, the symmetry of frequency information in right and left lung was investigated in CF patients with positive sputum culture results, negative sputum culture results, and patients who underwent treatment with antibiotics. Respiretorysounds were acquired from 34 CF patients (16 female, 18 male) who were being followed-up at the Pediatric Respiratory and Sleep Medicine Research Center of Children's Medical Center. The patient selection was based on their sputum microbiology culture. The selection category was as follows: 12 patients with normal flora culture results and 11 patients with PA infection. Also, respiratory sounds of 11 patients were recorded one month after antibiotic treatment and they used to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
In the preprocessing step, cardiac sound was removed, respiratory sound cycles were separated and the signals were divided into 64 milisecond frame and 15 features were extracted from each frame. Differences between these features were computed between right and left lungs for early, middle and late section of the respiratory cycle using the new proposed feature. Then, the best group of features was selected by applying Genetic Algorithm. The selected group of features was fed into Support Vector Machine, K Nearest Neighbor and Naïve Bayesian classifier. Also, an Ensemble classifier was examined. The best result was obtained by Ensemble classifier that diagnosed infection by the accuracy of 91.3% and differentiates a group of CF patients with infection from CF patients who underwent treatment with an accuracy of 90.9%. This study describes a novel method of infection detection in CF patients based only on respiratory sound analysis. The proposed method is a simple and available way for early diagnosis of infection and initiating therapeutic strategies.
