Survival analysis is a technique to predict the times of specific outcomes, and is widely used in predicting the outcomes for intensive care unit (ICU) trauma patients. Recently, deep learning models have drawn increasing attention in healthcare. However, there is a lack of deep learning methods that can model the relationship between measurements, clinical notes and mortality outcomes. In this paper we introduce BERTSurv, a deep learning survival framework which applies Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) as a language representation model on unstructured clinical notes, for mortality prediction and survival analysis. We also incorporate clinical measurements in BERTSurv. With binary cross-entropy (BCE) loss, BERTSurv can predict mortality as a binary outcome (mortality prediction). With partial log-likelihood (PLL) loss, BERTSurv predicts the probability of mortality as a time-to-event outcome (survival analysis). We apply BERTSurv on Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC III) trauma patient data. For mortality prediction, BERTSurv obtained an area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) of 0.86, which is an improvement of 3.6% over baseline of multilayer perceptron (MLP) without notes. For survival analysis, BERTSurv achieved a concordance index (C-index) of 0.7. In addition, visualizations of BERTs attention heads help to extract patterns in clinical notes and improve model interpretability by showing how the model assigns weights to different inputs.

Background: Fluctuating hearing loss is characteristic of Menieres Disease (MD) during acute episodes. However, no reliable audiometric hallmarks are available for counselling the hearing recovery possibility. Aims/Objectives: To find parameters for predicting MD hearing outcomes. Material and Methods: We applied machine learning techniques to analyse transient-evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) signals recorded from patients with MD. Thirty unilateral MD patients were recruited prospectively after onset of acute cochleo-vestibular symptoms. Serial TEOAE and pure-tone audiogram (PTA) data were recorded longitudinally. Denoised TEOAE signals were projected onto the three most prominent principal directions through a linear transformation. Binary classification was performed using a support vector machine (SVM). TEOAE signal parameters, including signal energy and group delay, were compared between improved and nonimproved groups using Welchs t-test. Results: Signal energy did not differ (p = 0.64) but a significant difference in 1-kHz (p = 0.045) group delay was recorded between improved and nonimproved groups. The SVM achieved a cross-validated accuracy of >80% in predicting hearing outcomes. Conclusions and Significance: This study revealed that baseline TEOAE parameters obtained during acute MD episodes, when processed through machine learning technology, may provide information on outer hair cell function to predict hearing recovery.
Trauma mortality results from a multitude of non-linear dependent risk factors including patient demographics, injury characteristics, medical care provided, and characteristics of medical facilities; yet traditional approach attempted to capture the se relationships using rigid regression models. We hypothesized that a transfer learning based machine learning algorithm could deeply understand a trauma patients condition and accurately identify individuals at high risk for mortality without relying on restrictive regression model criteria. Anonymous patient visit data were obtained from years 2007-2014 of the National Trauma Data Bank. Patients with incomplete vitals, unknown outcome, or missing demographics data were excluded. All patient visits occurred in U.S. hospitals, and of the 2,007,485 encounters that were retrospectively examined, 8,198 resulted in mortality (0.4%). The machine intelligence model was evaluated on its sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, and Matthews Correlation Coefficient. Our model achieved similar performance in age-specific comparison models and generalized well when applied to all ages simultaneously. While testing for confounding factors, we discovered that excluding fall-related injuries boosted performance for adult trauma patients; however, it reduced performance for children. The machine intelligence model described here demonstrates similar performance to contemporary machine intelligence models without requiring restrictive regression model criteria or extensive medical expertise.
In time-to-event prediction problems, a standard approach to estimating an interpretable model is to use Cox proportional hazards, where features are selected based on lasso regularization or stepwise regression. However, these Cox-based models do no t learn how different features relate. As an alternative, we present an interpretable neural network approach to jointly learn a survival model to predict time-to-event outcomes while simultaneously learning how features relate in terms of a topic model. In particular, we model each subject as a distribution over topics, which are learned from clinical features as to help predict a time-to-event outcome. From a technical standpoint, we extend existing neural topic modeling approaches to also minimize a survival analysis loss function. We study the effectiveness of this approach on seven healthcare datasets on predicting time until death as well as hospital ICU length of stay, where we find that neural survival-supervised topic models achieves competitive accuracy with existing approaches while yielding interpretable clinical topics that explain feature relationships.
The volume of stroke lesion is the gold standard for predicting the clinical outcome of stroke patients. However, the presence of stroke lesion may cause neural disruptions to other brain regions, and these potentially damaged regions may affect the clinical outcome of stroke patients. In this paper, we introduce the tractographic feature to capture these potentially damaged regions and predict the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), which is a widely used outcome measure in stroke clinical trials. The tractographic feature is built from the stroke lesion and average connectome information from a group of normal subjects. The tractographic feature takes into account different functional regions that may be affected by the stroke, thus complementing the commonly used stroke volume features. The proposed tractographic feature is tested on a public stroke benchmark Ischemic Stroke Lesion Segmentation 2017 and achieves higher accuracy than the stroke volume and the state-of-the-art feature on predicting the mRS grades of stroke patients. In addition, the tractographic feature also yields a lower average absolute error than the commonly used stroke volume feature.
Gliomas are lethal type of central nervous system tumors with a poor prognosis. Recently, with the advancements in the micro-array technologies thousands of gene expression related data of glioma patients are acquired, leading for salient analysis in many aspects. Thus, genomics are been emerged into the field of prognosis analysis. In this work, we identify survival related 7 gene signature and explore two approaches for survival prediction and risk estimation. For survival prediction, we propose a novel probabilistic programming based approach, which outperforms the existing traditional machine learning algorithms. An average 4 fold accuracy of 74% is obtained with the proposed algorithm. Further, we construct a prognostic risk model for risk estimation of glioma patients. This model reflects the survival of glioma patients, with high risk for low survival patients.
