Prediction of complications in diabetes mellitus using machine learning models with transplanted topic model features.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: This study aims to predict the progression of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) from the clinical notes through machine learning based on latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling. Particularly, 174,427 clinical notes of DM patients were collected from the electronic medical record (EMR) system of the Seoul National University Hospital outpatient clinic. Method: We developed a model to predict the development of DM complications. Topics developed by the topic model were exploited as the key feature of our machine-learning model. The proposed model generalized a correlation between topic structures and complications. Results: The model provided acceptable predictive performance for all four types of complications (diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cerebrovascular accident). Upon employing extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), we obtained the F1 scores of the predictions for each complication type as 0.844, 0.921, 0.831, and 0.762. Conclusion: This study shows that a machine learning project based on topic modeling can effectively predict the progress of a disease. Furthermore, a unique way of topic model transplanting, which matches the dimension of the topic structures of the two data sets, is presented.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Diabetes Mellitus is an increasingly prevalent chronic disease characterized by the body's inability to metabolize glucose. The objective of this study was to build an effective predictive model with high sensitivity and selectivity to better identify Canadian patients at risk of having Diabetes Mellitus based on patient demographic data and the laboratory results during their visits to medical facilities. METHODS:Using the most recent records of 13,309 Canadian patients aged between 18 and 90 years, along with their laboratory information (age, sex, fasting blood glucose, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein), we built predictive models using Logistic Regression and Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) techniques. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AROC) was used to evaluate the discriminatory capability of these models. We used the adjusted threshold method and the class weight method to improve sensitivity - the proportion of Diabetes Mellitus patients correctly predicted by the model. We also compared these models to other learning machine techniques such as Decision Tree and Random Forest. RESULTS:The AROC for the proposed GBM model is 84.7% with a sensitivity of 71.6% and the AROC for the proposed Logistic Regression model is 84.0% with a sensitivity of 73.4%. The GBM and Logistic Regression models perform better than the Random Forest and Decision Tree models. CONCLUSIONS:The ability of our model to predict patients with Diabetes using some commonly used lab results is high with satisfactory sensitivity. These models can be built into an online computer program to help physicians in predicting patients with future occurrence of diabetes and providing necessary preventive interventions. The model is developed and validated on the Canadian population which is more specific and powerful to apply on Canadian patients than existing models developed from US or other populations. Fasting blood glucose, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides were the most important predictors in these models.
