Ability to quantify and predict progression of a disease is fundamental for selecting an appropriate treatment. Many clinical metrics cannot be acquired frequently either because of their cost (e.g. MRI, gait analysis) or because they are inconvenient or harmful to a patient (e.g. biopsy, x-ray). In such scenarios, in order to estimate individual trajectories of disease progression, it is advantageous to leverage similarities between patients, i.e. the covariance of trajectories, and find a latent representation of progression. Most of existing methods for estimating trajectories do not account for events in-between observations, what dramatically decreases their adequacy for clinical practice. In this study, we develop a machine learning framework named Coordinatewise-Soft-Impute (CSI) for analyzing disease progression from sparse observations in the presence of confounding events. CSI is guaranteed to converge to the global minimum of the corresponding optimization problem. Experimental results also demonstrates the effectiveness of CSI using both simulated and real dataset.

In this work we introduce Disease Progression Modeling workbench 360 (DPM360) opensource clinical informatics framework for collaborative research and delivery of healthcare AI. DPM360, when fully developed, will manage the entire modeling life cycle , from data analysis (e.g., cohort identification) to machine learning algorithm development and prototyping. DPM360 augments the advantages of data model standardization and tooling (OMOP-CDM, Athena, ATLAS) provided by the widely-adopted OHDSI initiative with a powerful machine learning training framework, and a mechanism for rapid prototyping through automatic deployment of models as containerized services to a cloud environment.
Analyzing disease progression patterns can provide useful insights into the disease processes of many chronic conditions. These analyses may help inform recruitment for prevention trials or the development and personalization of treatments for those affected. We learn disease progression patterns using Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and distill them into distinct trajectories using visualization methods. We apply it to the domain of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) using large longitudinal observational data from the T1DI study group. Our method discovers distinct disease progression trajectories that corroborate with recently published findings. In this paper, we describe the iterative process of developing the model. These methods may also be applied to other chronic conditions that evolve over time.
Opioid overdose rates have increased in the United States over the past decade and reflect a major public health crisis. Modeling and prediction of drug and opioid hotspots, where a high percentage of events fall in a small percentage of space-time, could help better focus limited social and health services. In this work we present a spatial-temporal point process model for drug overdose clustering. The data input into the model comes from two heterogeneous sources: 1) high volume emergency medical calls for service (EMS) records containing location and time, but no information on the type of non-fatal overdose and 2) fatal overdose toxicology reports from the coroner containing location and high-dimensional information from the toxicology screen on the drugs present at the time of death. We first use non-negative matrix factorization to cluster toxicology reports into drug overdose categories and we then develop an EM algorithm for integrating the two heterogeneous data sets, where the mark corresponding to overdose category is inferred for the EMS data and the high volume EMS data is used to more accurately predict drug overdose death hotspots. We apply the algorithm to drug overdose data from Indianapolis, showing that the point process defined on the integrated data outperforms point processes that use only homogeneous EMS (AUC improvement .72 to .8) or coroner data (AUC improvement .81 to .85).We also investigate the extent to which overdoses are contagious, as a function of the type of overdose, while controlling for exogenous fluctuations in the background rate that might also contribute to clustering. We find that drug and opioid overdose deaths exhibit significant excitation, with branching ratio ranging from .72 to .98.
Longitudinal imaging is capable of capturing the static ana-to-mi-cal structures and the dynamic changes of the morphology resulting from aging or disease progression. Self-supervised learning allows to learn new representation from available large u nlabelled data without any expert knowledge. We propose a deep learning self-supervised approach to model disease progression from longitudinal retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT). Our self-supervised model takes benefit from a generic time-related task, by learning to estimate the time interval between pairs of scans acquired from the same patient. This task is (i) easy to implement, (ii) allows to use irregularly sampled data, (iii) is tolerant to poor registration, and (iv) does not rely on additional annotations. This novel method learns a representation that focuses on progression specific information only, which can be transferred to other types of longitudinal problems. We transfer the learnt representation to a clinically highly relevant task of predicting the onset of an advanced stage of age-related macular degeneration within a given time interval based on a single OCT scan. The boost in prediction accuracy, in comparison to a network learned from scratch or transferred from traditional tasks, demonstrates that our pretrained self-supervised representation learns a clinically meaningful information.

Mathematical and computational modeling approaches are increasingly used as quantitative tools in the analysis and forecasting of infectious disease epidemics. The growing need for realism in addressing complex public health questions is however call ing for accurate models of the human contact patterns that govern the disease transmission processes. Here we present a data-driven approach to generate effective descriptions of population-level contact patterns by using highly detailed macro (census) and micro (survey) data on key socio-demographic features. We produce age-stratified contact matrices for 277 sub-national administrative regions of countries covering approximately 3.5 billion people and reflecting the high degree of cultural and societal diversity of the focus countries. We use the derived contact matrices to model the spread of airborne infectious diseases and show that sub-national heterogeneities in human mixing patterns have a marked impact on epidemic indicators such as the reproduction number and overall attack rate of epidemics of the same etiology. The contact patterns derived here are made publicly available as a modeling tool to study the impact of socio-economic differences and demographic heterogeneities across populations on the epidemiology of infectious diseases.
