Chest Computed Tomography Radiomics for Determining Macrolide Resistance-Associated Gene Mutation Status in Children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia: A Two-Center Study

The mutations in the 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene are associated with an increase in resistance to macrolides in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP). This study aimed to develop and validate a chest computed tomography (CT) radiomics model for determining macrolide resistance-associated gene mutation status in MPP.
