Predicting outcomes of chronic kidney disease from EMR data based on Random Forest Regression.

ABSTRACT: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is prevalent across the world, and kidney function is well defined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The progression of kidney disease can be predicted if the future eGFR can be accurately estimated using predictive analytics. In this study, we developed and validated a prediction model of eGFR by data extracted from a regional health system. This dataset includes demographic, clinical and laboratory information from primary care clinics. The model was built using Random Forest regression and evaluated using Goodness-of-fit statistics and discrimination metrics. After data preprocessing, the patient cohort for model development and validation contained 61,740 patients. The final model included eGFR, age, gender, body mass index (BMI), obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, which achieved a mean coefficient of determination of 0.95. The estimated eGFRs were used to classify patients into CKD stages with high macro-averaged and micro-averaged metrics. In conclusion, a model using real-world electronic medical records (EMR) data can accurately predict future kidney functions and provide clinical decision support.

Project description:BackgroundA large body of evidence shows that miRNA regulates the expression of its target genes at post-transcriptional level and the dysregulation of miRNA is related to many complex human diseases. Accurately discovering disease-related miRNAs is conductive to the exploring of the pathogenesis and treatment of diseases. However, because of the limitation of time-consuming and expensive experimental methods, predicting miRNA-disease associations by computational models has become a more economical and effective mean.ResultsInspired by the work of predecessors, we proposed an improved computational model based on random forest (RF) for identifying miRNA-disease associations (IRFMDA). First, the integrated similarity of diseases and the integrated similarity of miRNAs were calculated by combining the semantic similarity and Gaussian interaction profile kernel (GIPK) similarity of diseases, the functional similarity and GIPK similarity of miRNAs, respectively. Then, the integrated similarity of diseases and the integrated similarity of miRNAs were combined to represent each miRNA-disease relationship pair. Next, the miRNA-disease relationship pairs contained in the HMDD (v2.0) database were considered positive samples, and the randomly constructed miRNA-disease relationship pairs not included in HMDD (v2.0) were considered negative samples. Next, the feature selection based on the variable importance score of RF was performed to choose more useful features to represent samples to optimize the model's ability of inferring miRNA-disease associations. Finally, a RF regression model was trained on reduced sample space to score the unknown miRNA-disease associations. The AUCs of IRFMDA under local leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV), global LOOCV and 5-fold cross-validation achieved 0.8728, 0.9398 and 0.9363, which were better than several excellent models for predicting miRNA-disease associations. Moreover, case studies on oesophageal cancer, lymphoma and lung cancer showed that 94 (oesophageal cancer), 98 (lymphoma) and 100 (lung cancer) of the top 100 disease-associated miRNAs predicted by IRFMDA were supported by the experimental data in the dbDEMC (v2.0) database.ConclusionsCross-validation and case studies demonstrated that IRFMDA is an excellent miRNA-disease association prediction model, and can provide guidance and help for experimental studies on the regulatory mechanism of miRNAs in complex human diseases in the future.
