Secondary immunodeficiency due to treatments is also a common problem. In addition, infections remain one of the main causes of early mortality in patients with SLE.Machine learning (ML), a branch of artificial intelligence, is capable of processing large amounts of data and identifying patterns, which is why it has been applied in different medical areas. This study proposes an ML system to help diagnose patients with SLE and immunodeficiency traits.The sample was taken from the group of patients diagnosed with SLE and being monitored by the Systemic Autoimmune Diseases Unit of the Internal Medicine Service of the University Clinical Hospital of Valladolid. After analyzing its characteristics, it was concluded that it was a solid sample for the study, in which the traits of immunodeficiency and its infectious complications were a reality.The main predictors of immunodeficiency were: weight loss, mucous ulcers, anti-MS antibodies and concurrent dose of hydroxychloroquine, with previous exposure to rituximab or corticosteroids being of lower weight.The EXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) method was selected and implemented for its high performance and accuracy, which outperformed the following model by almost 5%, k- Nearest Neighbor (KNN). It should be noted that the proposed system also showed the area under the curve highest (AUC 90%).The present study shows how ML is a useful instrument to recognize and predict immunodeficiency traits in patients with SLE, highlighting the XGB method, so that it could be incorporated into clinical practice as a tool to support diagnosis and ultimately improve morbidity and quality of life of patients YR 2024 FD 2024 LK https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/66922 UL https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/66922 LA spa NO Escuela de Doctorado DS UVaDOC RD 18-nov-2024
