Conditional anomaly detection methods for patient-management alert systems

Anomaly detection methods can be very useful in identifying unusual or interesting patterns in data. A recently proposed conditional anomaly detection framework extends anomaly detection to the problem of identifying anomalous patterns on a subset of attributes in the data. The anomaly always depends (is conditioned) on the value of remaining attributes. The work presented in this paper focuses on instance-based methods for detecting conditional anomalies. The methods rely on the distance metric to identify examples in the dataset that are most critical for detecting the anomaly. We investigate various metrics and metric learning methods to optimize the performance of the instance-based anomaly detection methods. We show the benefits of the instance-based methods on two real-world detection problems: detection of unusual admission decisions for patients with the community-acquired pneumonia and detection of unusual orders of an HPF4 test that is used to confirm Heparin induced thrombocytopenia - a life-threatening condition caused by the Heparin therapy.

Conditional outlier detection for clinical alerting

We develop and evaluate a data-driven approach for detecting unusual (anomalous) patient-management actions using past patient cases stored in an electronic health record (EHR) system. Our hypothesis is that patient-management actions that are unusual with respect to past patients may be due to a potential error and that it is worthwhile to raise an alert if such a condition is encountered. We evaluate this hypothesis using data obtained from the electronic health records of 4,486 post-cardiac surgical patients. We base the evaluation on the opinions of a panel of experts. The results support that anomaly-based alerting can have reasonably low false alert rates and that stronger anomalies are correlated with higher alert rates.

Distance metric learning for conditional anomaly detection

Anomaly detection methods can be very useful in identifying unusual or interesting patterns in data. A recently proposed conditional anomaly detection framework extends anomaly detection to the problem of identifying anomalous patterns on a subset of attributes in the data. The anomaly always depends (is conditioned) on the value of remaining attributes. The work presented in this paper focuses on instance-based methods for detecting conditional anomalies. The methods depend heavily on the distance metric that lets us identify examples in the dataset that are most critical for detecting the anomaly. To optimize the performance of such methods we study and devise a metric learning method that learns the distance metric to reflect best the conditional anomaly pattern.

Evidence-based anomaly detection in clinical domains

Anomaly detection methods can be very useful in identifying interesting or concerning events. In this work, we develop and examine new probabilistic anomaly detection methods that let us evaluate management decisions for a specific patient and identify those decisions that are highly unusual with respect to patients with the same or similar condition. The statistics used in this detection are derived from probabilistic models such as Bayesian networks that are learned from a database of past patient cases. We apply our methods to the problem of identifying unusual patient-management decisions in post-surgical cardiac patients.

Feature importance analysis for patient management decisions

The objective of this paper is to understand what characteristics and features of clinical data influence physician's decision about ordering laboratory tests or prescribing medications the most. We conduct our analysis on data and decisions extracted from electronic health records of 4486 post-surgical cardiac patients. The summary statistics for 335 different lab order decisions and 407 medication decisions are reported. We show that in many cases, physician's lab-order and medication decisions can be well predicted from a small subset of all features.

Learning predictive models for combinations of heterogeneous proteomic data sources

Multiple technologies that measure expression levels of protein mixtures in the human body offer a potential for detection and understanding the disease. The recent increase of these technologies prompts researchers to evaluate the individual and combined utility of data generated by the technologies. In this work, we study two data sources to measure the expression of protein mixtures in the human body: whole-sample MS profiling and multiplexed protein arrays. We investigate the individual and combined utility of these technologies by learning and testing a variety of classification models on the data from a pancreatic cancer study. We show that for the combination of these two (heterogeneous) datasets, classification models that work well on one of them individually fail on the combination of the two datasets. We study and propose a class of model fusion methods that acknowledge the differences and try to reap most of the benefits from their combination.

Outlier detection for patient monitoring and alerting

We develop and evaluate a data-driven approach for detecting unusual (anomalous) patient-management decisions using past patient cases stored in electronic health records (EHRs). Our hypothesis is that a patient-management decision that is unusual with respect to past patient care may be due to an error and that it is worthwhile to generate an alert if such a decision is encountered. We evaluate this hypothesis using data obtained from EHRs of 4486 post-cardiac surgical patients and a subset of 222 alerts generated from the data. We base the evaluation on the opinions of a panel of experts. The results of the study support our hypothesis that the outlier-based alerting can lead to promising true alert rates. We observed true alert rates that ranged from 25\% to 66\% for a variety of patient-management actions, with 66\% corresponding to the strongest outliers.

Learning to Adapt Clinical Sequences with Residual Mixture of Experts

Clinical event sequences in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) record detailed information about the patient condition and patient care as they occur in time. Recent years have witnessed increased interest of machine learning community in developing machine learning models solving different types of problems defined upon information in EHRs. More recently, neural sequential models, such as RNN and LSTM, became popular and widely applied models for representing patient sequence data and for predicting future events or outcomes based on such data. However, a single neural sequential model may not properly represent complex dynamics of all patients and the differences in their behaviors. In this work, we aim to alleviate this limitation by refining a one-fits-all model using a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture. The architecture consists of multiple (expert) RNN models covering patient sub-populations and refining the predictions of the base model. That is, instead of training expert RNN models from scratch we define them on the residual signal that attempts to model the differences from the population-wide model. The heterogeneity of various patient sequences is modeled through multiple experts that consist of RNN. Particularly, instead of directly training MoE from scratch, we augment MoE based on the prediction signal from pretrained base GRU model. With this way, the mixture of experts can provide flexible adaptation to the (limited) predictive power of the single base RNN model. We experiment with the newly proposed model on real-world EHRs data and the multivariate clinical event prediction task. We implement RNN using Gated Recurrent Units (GRU). We show 4.1% gain on AUPRC statistics compared to a single RNN prediction.
