The diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) might be challenging and relies on the convergence of cytological, cytogenetic, and molecular factors. Multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) helps diagnose MDS, especially when other features do not contribute to the decision-making process, but its usefulness remains underestimated, mostly due to a lack of standardization of cytometers. We present here an innovative model integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with MFC to improve the diagnosis and the classification of MDS. We develop a machine learning model through an elasticnet algorithm directed on a cohort of 191 patients, only based on flow cytometry parameters selected by the Boruta algorithm, to build a simple but reliable prediction score with five parameters. Our AI-assisted MDS prediction score greatly improves the sensitivity of the Ogata score while keeping an excellent specificity validated on an external cohort of 89 patients with an Area Under the Curve of 0.935.
