Can Machine Learning Distinguish EGPA from Its Clinical Mimics? Reflections on Phenotypic Heterogeneity and Diagnostic Specificity
Abstract
• Examines phenotypic heterogeneity as a challenge for machine learning based EGPA diagnosis • •Highlights the potential influence of corticosteroid exposure on model performance • •Discusses diagnostic overlap between EGPA and hypereosinophilic syndromes • •Evaluates disease specificity beyond generalized eosinophilic inflammation • •Advocates clearer definition of the clinical role of AI-assisted diagnostic systems
