Predicting Complications in Critical Care Using Heterogeneous Clinical Data
Open accessAbstract
Patients in hospitals, particularly in critical care, are susceptible to many complications affecting morbidity and mortality. Digitized clinical data in electronic medical records can be effectively used to develop machine learning models to identify patients at risk of complications early and provide prioritized care to prevent complications. However, clinical data from heterogeneous sources within hospitals pose significant modeling challenges. In particular, unstructured clinical notes are a valuable source of information containing regular assessments of the patient's condition but contain inconsistent abbreviations and lack the structure of formal documents. Our contributions in this paper are twofold. First, we present a new preprocessing technique for extracting features from informal clinical notes that can be used in a classification model to identify patients at risk of developing complications. Second, we explore the use of collective matrix factorization, a multi-view learning technique, to model heterogeneous clinical data-text-based features in combination with other measurements, such as clinical investigations, comorbidites, and demographic data. We present a detailed case study on postoperative respiratory failure using more than 700 patient records from the MIMIC II database. Our experiments demonstrate the efficacy of our preprocessing technique in extracting discriminatory features from clinical notes as well as the benefits of multi-view learning to combine clinical measurements with text data for predicting complications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
