• Abstract: Deep learning is revolutionizing predictive healthcare, including recommending medications to patients with complex health conditions. Existing approaches focus on predicting all medications for the current visit, which often overlaps with medications from previous visits. A more clinically relevant task is to identify medication changes. In this paper, we propose a new recurrent residual network, named MICRON, for medication change prediction. MICRON takes the changes in patient health records as input and learns to update a hidden medication vector and the medication set recurrently with a reconstruction design. The medication vector is like the memory cell that encodes longitudinal information of medications. Unlike traditional methods that require the entire patient history for prediction, MICRON has a residual-based inference that allows for sequential updating based only on new patient features (e.g., new diagnoses in the recent visit) more efficiently. We evaluated MICRON on real inpatient and outpatient datasets. MICRON achieves 3.5% and 7.8% relative improvements over the best baseline in F1 score, respectively. MICRON also requires fewer parameters, which significantly reduces the training time to 38.3s per epoch with 1.5x speed-up.

  This study analyzes Medicare hospital readmissions using LSTM networks with feature engineering to assess feature contributions. The LSTM model is designed to capture temporal dynamics from admission-level and patient-level data. The major features were the Charlson Comorbidity Index, hospital length of stay, the hospital admissions over the past 6 months, while demographic variables were less impactful.

  This study introduces a novel model called the Multitemporal Spatio Graph-Transformer (MuST) for predicting hospital readmissions. By employing Graph Con Networks and temporal transformers, we can effectively capture spatial and temporal dependencies in EHR and chest radiographs. We then propose a fusion transformer to combine the features from the two modalities mentioned above with the features from clinical notes extracted by a pre-trained, domain-specific transformer.

  We reproduce, compare, and analyze state-of-the-art automated medical coding machine learning models. We show that several models underperform due to weak configurations, poorly sampled train-test splits, and insufficient evaluation. We present the first comprehensive results on the newly released MIMIC-IV dataset using the reproduced models.

  We wish to assess relevant unmeasured physiological variables that have a strong effect on the patients diagnosis and treatment. Extensive offline information is available about previous patients, that may only be partially related to the present patient. Our proposed approach consists of three stages: (i) Use the abundant offline data in order to create both a non-causal and a causal estimator. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this methodology on a (non-medical) real-world task, in situations where the offline data is only partially related to the new observations.
