• Abstract: A crucial step within secondary analysis of electronic health records (EHRs) is to identify the patient cohort under investigation. While EHRs contain medical billing codes that aim to represent the conditions and treatments patients may have, much of the information is only present in the patient notes. Therefore, it is critical to develop robust algorithms to infer patients' conditions and treatments from their written notes. In this paper, we introduce a dataset for patient phenotyping, a task that is defined as the identification of whether a patient has a given medical condition (also referred to as clinical indication or phenotype) based on their patient note. Nursing Progress Notes and Discharge Summaries from the Intensive Care Unit of a large tertiary care hospital were manually annotated for the presence of several high-context phenotypes relevant to treatment and risk of re-hospitalization. This dataset contains 1102 Discharge Summaries and 1000 Nursing Progress Notes. Each Discharge Summary and Progress Note has been annotated by at least two expert human annotators (one clinical researcher and one resident physician). Annotated phenotypes include treatment non-adherence, chronic pain, advanced/metastatic cancer, as well as 10 other phenotypes. This dataset can be utilized for academic and industrial research in medicine and computer science, particularly within the field of medical natural language processing.

  Deep learning models show promise in extracting meaningful patterns, but they require extensive labeled data. We propose a novel approach employing self-supervised pretraining, focusing on the alignment of clinical measurements and notes. In downstream tasks, including in-hospital mortality prediction and phenotyping, our model outperforms baselines in settings where only a fraction of the data is labeled.

  Unsupervised user embedding aims to encode patients into fixed-length vectors without human supervisions. Medical concepts extracted from the clinical notes contain rich connections between patients and their clinical categories. We propose a concept-aware unsupervised user embedding that jointly leverages text documents and medical concepts from two clinical corpora.

  This paper proposes a label-dependent and event-guided risk prediction model (LERP) to predict the presence of multiple disease risks. We adopt a label-dependent mechanism that gives greater attention to words from medical notes that are semantically similar to the names of risk labels. As the clinical events can also indicate the health status of patients, our model utilizes the information from events to generate an event-guided representation of medical notes.
