No diagnostic biomarkers are available for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Here, we aimed to identify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers for OCD, using 46 data sets with 2304 OCD patients and 2068 healthy controls from the ENIGMA consortium. We performed machine learning analysis of regional measures of cortical thickness, surface area and subcortical volume and tested classification performance using cross-validation. Classification performance for OCD vs. controls using the complete sample with different classifiers and cross-validation strategies was poor. When models were validated on data from other sites, model performance did not exceed chance-level. In contrast, fair classification performance was achieved when patients were grouped according to their medication status. These results indicate that medication use is associated with substantial differences in brain anatomy that are widely distributed, and indicate that clinical heterogeneity contributes to the poor performance of structural MRI as a disease marker.
Performance for multi-site classification using different algorithms and cross-validation schemes.Boxplots summarize AUC scores obtained across CV-folds; dashed line represents chance-level performance and asterisks indicate scores significantly different from chance (Mann–Whitney-U statistic; p < 0.05 Bonferroni corrected (10 classifiers × 3 CV types), see Supplement for details).

Scatterplot illustrating relationship between number of participants and classification performance across sites.Only RFC classifier performance averaged across CV-folds and repeats are plotted (Spearman correlation; rS = 0.37, p = 0.014).
Performance for classification between subgroups of patients based on medication status.Only RFC classifier performance for combined (pediatric and adult) data is shown here; Boxplots summarize AUC scores obtained across CV-folds; dashed line represents chance-level performance and asterisks indicate scores significantly different from chance (Mann–Whitney-U statistic; p < 0.05 Bonferroni corrected (10 classifiers × 3 CV types), see Supplement for details). unmed unmedicated, med medicated.
