Machine Learning-Based Pre-Test Risk Stratification for PCR-Confirmed Chlamydia Using Patient-Reported Data and Urine Biomarkers

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.16365v1 Announce Type: new Early identification of individuals at elevated risk of Chlamydia trachomatis infection may enable optimal use of molecular testing in resource-aware screening. We evaluate the feasibility of pre-test risk stratification (PTRS) using machine-learning models trained on routinely available, non-invasive clinical data. A curated dataset of 93 urine samples with PCR reference labels was analyzed using three feature groups: patient-reported history and symptoms, urine biomarkers from standard urinalysis, and their combination.
