Title: VIRDOC: Statistical and Machine Learning by a VIRtual DOCtor to Predict Dengue Fatality
Authors: Amit K Chattopadhyay and Subhagata Chattopadhyay
Abstract summary: Clinicians conduct routine diagnosis by scrutinizing signs and symptoms of patients in treating epidemics. The success of the therapeutic regimen relies largely on the accuracy of interpretation of such sign-symptoms, based on which the clinician ranks the potent causes of the epidemic and analyzes their interdependence to devise sustainable containment strategies. This study proposed an alternative medical front, a VIRtual DOCtor (VIRDOC), that can self-consistently rank key contributors of an epidemic and also correctly identify the infection stage, using the language of statistical modelling and Machine Learning.

Abstract: Clinicians conduct routine diagnosis by scrutinizing signs and symptoms of patients in treating epidemics. This skill evolves through trial-and-error and improves with time. The success of the therapeutic regimen relies largely on the accuracy of interpretation of such sign-symptoms, based on which the clinician ranks the potent causes of the epidemic and analyzes their interdependence to devise sustainable containment strategies. This study proposed an alternative medical front, a VIRtual DOCtor (VIRDOC), that can self-consistently rank key contributors of an epidemic and also correctly identify the infection stage, using the language of statistical modelling and Machine Learning. VIRDOC analyzes medical data and then translates these into a vector comprising Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) coefficients to probabilistically predict scores that compare with clinical experience-based assessment. The VIRDOC algorithm, risk managed through ANOVA, has been tested on dengue epidemic data (N=100 with 11 weighted sign-symptoms). Results highly encouraging with ca 75% accurate fatality prediction, compared to 71.4% from traditional diagnosis. The algorithm can be generically extended to analyze other epidemic forms.

Reasoning-Enhanced Healthcare Predictions with Knowledge Graph Community Retrieval [61.70489848327436]
KARE is a novel framework that integrates knowledge graph (KG) community-level retrieval with large language models (LLMs) reasoning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that KARE outperforms leading models by up to 10.8-15.0% on MIMIC-III and 12.6-12.7% on MIMIC-IV for mortality and readmission predictions.

Enhancing End Stage Renal Disease Outcome Prediction: A Multi-Sourced Data-Driven Approach [7.212939068975618]
We utilized data about 10,326 CKD patients, combining their clinical and claims information from 2009 to 2018. A 24-month observation window was identified as optimal for balancing early detection and prediction accuracy. The 2021 eGFR equation improved prediction accuracy and reduced racial bias, notably for African American patients.

Can Machine Learning Assist in Diagnosis of Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia? A feasibility study [12.4123972735841]
Primary Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare autoimmune disease characterised by immune-mediated destruction of peripheral blood platelets in patients. There is no established test to confirm the disease and no biomarker with which one can predict the response to treatment and outcome. We conduct a feasibility study to check if machine learning can be applied effectively for diagnosis of ITP using routine blood tests and demographic data in a non-acute outpatient setting.

Deep Neural Decision Forest: A Novel Approach for Predicting Recovery or Decease of Patients [1.0874223087191939]
This study aims to examine whether deep learning algorithms can predict a patient's morality. We investigated the impact of Clinical and RT-PCR on prediction to determine which one is more reliable. Results indicate that Clinical alone (without the use of RT-PCR) is the most effective method of diagnosis, with an accuracy of 80%.

Learning to diagnose cirrhosis from radiological and histological labels with joint self and weakly-supervised pretraining strategies [62.840338941861134]
We propose to leverage transfer learning from large datasets annotated by radiologists, to predict the histological score available on a small annex dataset. We compare different pretraining methods, namely weakly-supervised and self-supervised ones, to improve the prediction of the cirrhosis. This method outperforms the baseline classification of the METAVIR score, reaching an AUC of 0.84 and a balanced accuracy of 0.75.

Clinical Outcome Prediction from Admission Notes using Self-Supervised Knowledge Integration [55.88616573143478]
Outcome prediction from clinical text can prevent doctors from overlooking possible risks. Diagnoses at discharge, procedures performed, in-hospital mortality and length-of-stay prediction are four common outcome prediction targets. We propose clinical outcome pre-training to integrate knowledge about patient outcomes from multiple public sources.

We investigated how such data from the peripheral blood of COVID-19 patients might be used to predict clinical outcomes. Our work revealed several clinical parameters measurable in blood samples, which discriminated between healthy people and COVID-19 positive patients. We thus developed a number of analytic methods that showed accuracy and precision for disease severity and mortality outcome predictions that were above 90%.
