Neural Document Embeddings for Intensive Care Patient Mortality Prediction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an automatic mortality prediction scheme based on the unstructured textual content of clinical notes. Proposing a convolutional document embedding approach, our empirical investigation using the MIMIC-III intensive care database shows significant performance gains compared to previously employed methods such as latent topic distributions or generic doc2vec embeddings. These improvements are especially pronounced for the difficult problem of post-discharge mortality prediction.

Prediction of mortality in patients admitted to intensive care units, A comparison of three data mining techniques: a brief report.
Background: Early outcome prediction of hospitalized patients is critical because the intensivists are constantly striving to improve patients' survival by taking effective medical decisions about ill patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Despite rapid progress in medical treatments and intensive care technology, the analysis of outcomes, including mortality prediction, has been a challenge ...

Background and purpose: Despite rapid progress in medical treatments and acute care technology during the past 30 years alongside increasing costs of medical care, the analysis of outcomes such as mortality risk have been a challenge in intensive care units. The purpose of this study was to predict the mortality rate of premature infants in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) using artificial n...
متن کاملDocument Embeddings via Recurrent Language Models
Document embeddings serve to supply richer semantic content for downstream tasks which require fixed length inputs. We propose a novel unsupervised framework by which to train document vectors by using a modified Recurrent Neural Network Language Model, which we call DRNNLM, incorporating a document vector into the calculation of the hidden state and prediction at each time step. Our goal is to...
متن کاملTopic Models for Mortality Modeling in Intensive Care Units
Mortality prediction is an important problem in the intensive care unit (ICU) because it is helpful for understanding patients’ evolving severity, quality of care, and comparing treatments. Most ICU mortality models primarily consider structured data and physiological waveforms (Le Gall et al., 1993). An important limitation of these structured data approaches is that they miss a lot of vital i...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Fuzzy Intelligent System for Predicting Mortality in Trauma Patients in the Intensive Care Unit
Introduction: The intensive care unit is one of the most costly parts of the national health sector. These costs are largely attributable to the length of stay in the intensive care unit. For this reason, there are significant benefits in predicting patients' length of stay and the percentage of deaths in intensive care units. Therefore, in this study, a fuzzy logic based intelligent system was...
