• Abstract summary: We investigated whether medical history, blood tests, prescription of medicines, and hospitalisations might, in combination, predict a heightened risk of sudden death. We compared the performance of models trained to predict either sudden death or all-cause mortality.

• Abstract: Worldwide, many millions of people die suddenly and unexpectedly each year, either with or without a prior history of cardiovascular disease. Such events are sparse (once in a lifetime), many victims will not have had prior investigations for cardiac disease and many different definitions of sudden death exist. Accordingly, sudden death is hard to predict. This analysis used NHS Electronic Health Records (EHRs) for people aged $\geq$50 years living in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GG\&C) region in 2010 (n = 380,000) to try to overcome these challenges. We investigated whether medical history, blood tests, prescription of medicines, and hospitalisations might, in combination, predict a heightened risk of sudden death. We compared the performance of models trained to predict either sudden death or all-cause mortality. We built six models for each outcome of interest: three taken from state-of-the-art research (BEHRT, Deepr and Deep Patient), and three of our own creation. We trained these using two different data representations: a language-based representation, and a sparse temporal matrix. We used global interpretability to understand the most important features of each model, and compare how much agreement there was amongst models using Rank Biased Overlap. It is challenging to account for correlated variables without increasing the complexity of the interpretability technique. We overcame this by clustering features into groups and comparing the most important groups for each model. We found the agreement between models to be much higher when accounting for correlated variables. Our analysis emphasises the challenge of predicting sudden death and emphasises the need for better understanding and interpretation of machine learning models applied to healthcare applications.

  We propose a framework for neurological prognostication of post-cardiac-arrest comatose patients using EEG data. Our framework uses any dynamic survival analysis model that supports competing risks in the form of estimating patient-level cumulative incidence functions. We demonstrate our framework by benchmarking three existing dynamic survival analysis models that support competing risks on a real dataset of 922 patients.

  We consider a patient risk model which has access to vital signs, lab values, and prior history but does not have access to a patient's diagnosis. We show that such all-cause' risk models have good generalization across diagnoses but have a predictable failure mode. We propose a fix for this problem by explicitly modeling the uncertainty in risk prediction coming from uncertainty in patient diagnoses.

  Imbalances in censoring and time horizons cause generative models to experience three new failure modes specific to survival analysis. We propose SurvivalGAN, a generative model that handles survival data by addressing the imbalance in the censoring and event horizons. We evaluate this method via extensive experiments on medical datasets.

  We propose a generative time-to-event model, SurvLatent ODE, which parameterizes a latent representation under irregularly sampled data. Our model then utilizes the latent representation to flexibly estimate survival times for multiple competing events without specifying shapes of event-specific hazard function. SurvLatent ODE outperforms the current clinical standard Khorana Risk scores for stratifying DVT risk groups.

  In this paper, we take advantage of the inherent properties of neural networks to federate the process of training of survival analysis models. In the realistic setting of small medical datasets and only a few data centers, this noise makes it harder for the models to converge. We propose DPFed-post which adds a post-processing stage to the private federated learning scheme.
