• Title: Process-Aware Analysis of Treatment Paths in Heart Failure Patients: A Case Study
• Abstract summary: We apply process-mining techniques on sparse patient heart failure data. Patients are split into different cohorts based on co-morbidities, such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease. We apply decision mining to determine whether a patient will have a cardiovascular outcome and whether a patient will die.

• Abstract: Process mining in healthcare presents a range of challenges when working with different types of data within the healthcare domain. There is high diversity considering the variety of data collected from healthcare processes: operational processes given by claims data, a collection of events during surgery, data related to pre-operative and post-operative care, and high-level data collections based on regular ambulant visits with no apparent events. In this case study, a data set from the last category is analyzed. We apply process-mining techniques on sparse patient heart failure data and investigate whether an information gain towards several research questions is achievable. Here, available data are transformed into an event log format, and process discovery and conformance checking are applied. Additionally, patients are split into different cohorts based on comorbidities, such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease, and multiple statistics are compared between the cohorts. Conclusively, we apply decision mining to determine whether a patient will have a cardiovascular outcome and whether a patient will die.

  We propose DECENT, an auto-encoding heterogeneous co-evolving dynamic neural network, for learning dynamic embeddings of patients, doctors, rooms, and medications. The results of using the learned patient embeddings in predictive modeling show that DECENT has a gain of up to 48.1% on the mortality risk prediction task. Case studies on the learned doctor, medication, and room embeddings show that our approach learns meaningful and interpretable embeddings.

  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.

  We suggest a semi-supervised methodology for the analysis of large clinical datasets, characterized by mixed data types and missing values. The methodology is based on application of elastic principal graphs which can address simultaneously the tasks of dimensionality reduction, data visualization, clustering, feature selection and quantifying the geodesic distances (pseudotime) in partially ordered sequences of observations.

  Electronic health records contain time-resolved information about medical visits, tests and procedures, as well as outcomes. By assessing the similarities among these journeys, it is possible to uncover clusters of common disease trajectories with shared health outcomes. The assignment of patient journeys to specific clusters may in turn serve as the basis for personalized outcome prediction and treatment selection.
