• Abstract summary: The Multimodal Clinical Benchmark for Emergency Care (MC-BEC) is a benchmark for evaluating foundation models in Emergency Medicine. MC-BEC focuses on clinically relevant prediction tasks at timescales from minutes to days, including predicting patient decompensation, disposition, and emergency department (ED) revisit.

• Abstract: We propose the Multimodal Clinical Benchmark for Emergency Care (MC-BEC), a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating foundation models in Emergency Medicine using a dataset of 100K+ continuously monitored Emergency Department visits from 2020-2022. MC-BEC focuses on clinically relevant prediction tasks at timescales from minutes to days, including predicting patient decompensation, disposition, and emergency department (ED) revisit, and includes a standardized evaluation framework with train-test splits and evaluation metrics. The multimodal dataset includes a wide range of detailed clinical data, including triage information, prior diagnoses and medications, continuously measured vital signs, electrocardiogram and photoplethysmograph waveforms, orders placed and medications administered throughout the visit, free-text reports of imaging studies, and information on ED diagnosis, disposition, and subsequent revisits. We provide performance baselines for each prediction task to enable the evaluation of multimodal, multitask models. We believe that MC-BEC will encourage researchers to develop more effective, generalizable, and accessible foundation models for multimodal clinical data.

  We introduce a dataset based on MIMIC-IV, benchmarking protocol, and initial results for evaluating multimodal decision support in the emergency department. We use diverse data modalities from the first 1.5 hours of patient arrival, including demographics, biometrics, vital signs, lab values, and electrocardiogram waveforms. Our diagnostic model achieves an AUROC score over 0.8 in a statistically significant manner for 357 out of 1428 conditions.

  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.

This offers unique opportunities to obtain and use at train-time those multiple views of the same information that might not always be available at test-time. We propose an innovative framework that makes the most of available data by learning good representations of a multi-modal input that are resilient to modality dropping at test-time.
