Trajectory analysis for postoperative pain using electronic health records: A nonparametric method with robust linear regression and K-medians cluster analysis.

ABSTRACT: Postoperative pain scores are widely monitored and collected in the electronic health record, yet current methods fail to fully leverage the data with fast implementation. A robust linear regression was fitted to describe the association between the log-scaled pain score and time from discharge after total knee replacement. The estimated trajectories were used for a subsequent K-medians cluster analysis to categorize the longitudinal pain score patterns into distinct clusters. For each cluster, a mixture regression model estimated the association between pain score and time to discharge adjusting for confounding. The fitted regression model generated the pain trajectory pattern for given cluster. Finally, regression analyses examined the association between pain trajectories and patient outcomes. A total of 3442 surgeries were identified with a median of 22 pain scores at an academic hospital during 2009-2016. Four pain trajectory patterns were identified and one was associated with higher rates of outcomes. In conclusion, we described a novel approach with fast implementation to model patients' pain experience using electronic health records. In the era of big data science, clinical research should be learning from all available data regarding a patient's episode of care instead of focusing on the "average" patient outcomes.

Robust and efficient estimation of nonparametric generalized linear models

Project description:Generalized linear models are flexible tools for the analysis of diverse datasets, but the classical formulation requires that the parametric component is correctly specified and the data contain no atypical observations. To address these shortcomings, we introduce and study a family of nonparametric full-rank and lower-rank spline estimators that result from the minimization of a penalized density power divergence. The proposed class of estimators is easily implementable, offers high protection against outlying observations and can be tuned for arbitrarily high efficiency in the case of clean data. We show that under weak assumptions, these estimators converge at a fast rate and illustrate their highly competitive performance on a simulation study and two real-data examples. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11749-023-00866-x.

Robust best linear estimation for regression analysis using surrogate and instrumental variables.

Project description:We investigate methods for regression analysis when covariates are measured with errors. In a subset of the whole cohort, a surrogate variable is available for the true unobserved exposure variable. The surrogate variable satisfies the classical measurement error model, but it may not have repeated measurements. In addition to the surrogate variables that are available among the subjects in the calibration sample, we assume that there is an instrumental variable (IV) that is available for all study subjects. An IV is correlated with the unobserved true exposure variable and hence can be useful in the estimation of the regression coefficients. We propose a robust best linear estimator that uses all the available data, which is the most efficient among a class of consistent estimators. The proposed estimator is shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal under very weak distributional assumptions. For Poisson or linear regression, the proposed estimator is consistent even if the measurement error from the surrogate or IV is heteroscedastic. Finite-sample performance of the proposed estimator is examined and compared with other estimators via intensive simulation studies. The proposed method and other methods are applied to a bladder cancer case-control study.

Improved cardiovascular risk prediction using nonparametric regression and electronic health record data.

Project description:Use of the electronic health record (EHR) is expected to increase rapidly in the near future, yet little research exists on whether analyzing internal EHR data using flexible, adaptive statistical methods could improve clinical risk prediction. Extensive implementation of EHR in the Veterans Health Administration provides an opportunity for exploration.To compare the performance of various approaches for predicting risk of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular (CCV) death, using traditional risk predictors versus more comprehensive EHR data.Retrospective cohort study. We identified all Veterans Health Administration patients without recent CCV events treated at 12 facilities from 2003 to 2007, and predicted risk using the Framingham risk score, logistic regression, generalized additive modeling, and gradient tree boosting.The outcome was CCV-related death within 5 years. We assessed each method's predictive performance with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, plots of estimated risk, and reclassification tables, using cross-validation to penalize overfitting.Regression methods outperformed the Framingham risk score, even with the same predictors (AUC increased from 71% to 73% and calibration also improved). Even better performance was attained in models using additional EHR-derived predictor variables (AUC increased to 78% and net reclassification improvement was as large as 0.29). Nonparametric regression further improved calibration and discrimination compared with logistic regression.Despite the EHR lacking some risk factors and its imperfect data quality, health care systems may be able to substantially improve risk prediction for their patients by using internally developed EHR-derived models and flexible statistical methodology.

Multiatlas segmentation as nonparametric regression.

Project description:This paper proposes a novel theoretical framework to model and analyze the statistical characteristics of a wide range of segmentation methods that incorporate a database of label maps or atlases; such methods are termed as label fusion or multiatlas segmentation. We model these multiatlas segmentation problems as nonparametric regression problems in the high-dimensional space of image patches. We analyze the nonparametric estimator's convergence behavior that characterizes expected segmentation error as a function of the size of the multiatlas database. We show that this error has an analytic form involving several parameters that are fundamental to the specific segmentation problem (determined by the chosen anatomical structure, imaging modality, registration algorithm, and label-fusion algorithm). We describe how to estimate these parameters and show that several human anatomical structures exhibit the trends modeled analytically. We use these parameter estimates to optimize the regression estimator. We show that the expected error for large database sizes is well predicted by models learned on small databases. Thus, a few expert segmentations can help predict the database sizes required to keep the expected error below a specified tolerance level. Such cost-benefit analysis is crucial for deploying clinical multiatlas segmentation systems.

Nonparametric competing risks analysis using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees.

Project description:Many time-to-event studies are complicated by the presence of competing risks. Such data are often analyzed using Cox models for the cause-specific hazard function or Fine and Gray models for the subdistribution hazard. In practice, regression relationships in competing risks data are often complex and may include nonlinear functions of covariates, interactions, high-dimensional parameter spaces and nonproportional cause-specific, or subdistribution, hazards. Model misspecification can lead to poor predictive performance. To address these issues, we propose a novel approach: flexible prediction modeling of competing risks data using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART). We study the simulation performance in two-sample scenarios as well as a complex regression setting, and benchmark its performance against standard regression techniques as well as random survival forests. We illustrate the use of the proposed method on a recently published study of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Nonparametric survival analysis using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART).

Project description:Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) provide a framework for flexible nonparametric modeling of relationships of covariates to outcomes. Recently, BART models have been shown to provide excellent predictive performance, for both continuous and binary outcomes, and exceeding that of its competitors. Software is also readily available for such outcomes. In this article, we introduce modeling that extends the usefulness of BART in medical applications by addressing needs arising in survival analysis. Simulation studies of one-sample and two-sample scenarios, in comparison with long-standing traditional methods, establish face validity of the new approach. We then demonstrate the model's ability to accommodate data from complex regression models with a simulation study of a nonproportional hazards scenario with crossing survival functions and survival function estimation in a scenario where hazards are multiplicatively modified by a highly nonlinear function of the covariates. Using data from a recently published study of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, we illustrate the use and some advantages of the proposed method in medical investigations.

Robust nonparametric tests of general linear model coefficients: A comparison of permutation methods and test statistics.

Project description:Statistical inference in neuroimaging research often involves testing the significance of regression coefficients in a general linear model. In many applications, the researcher assumes a model of the form Y=?+X?+Z?+?, where Y is the observed brain signal, and X and Z contain explanatory variables that are thought to be related to the brain signal. The goal is to test the null hypothesis H0:?=0 with the nuisance parameters ? included in the model. Several nonparametric (permutation) methods have been proposed for this problem, and each method uses some variant of the F ratio as the test statistic. However, recent research suggests that the F ratio can produce invalid permutation tests of H0:?=0 when the ? terms are heteroscedastic (i.e., have non-constant variance), which can occur for a variety of reasons. This study compares the classic F test statistic to the robust W (Wald) test statistic using eight different permutation methods. The results reveal that permutation tests using the F ratio can produce accurate results when the errors are homoscedastic, but high false positive rates when the errors are heteroscedastic. In contrast, permutation tests using the W test statistic produced valid results when the errors were homoscedastic, and asymptotically valid results when the errors were heteroscedastic. In the situation with homoscedastic errors, permutation tests using the W statistic showed slightly reduced power compared to the F statistic, but the difference disappeared as the sample size n increased. Consequently, the W test statistic is recommended for robust nonparametric hypothesis tests of regression coefficients in neuroimaging research.

Robust model selection using the out-of-bag bootstrap in linear regression.

Project description:Outlying observations have a large influence on the linear model selection process. In this article, we present a novel approach to robust model selection in linear regression to accommodate the situations where outliers are present in the data. The model selection criterion is based on two components, the robust conditional expected prediction loss, and a robust goodness-of-fit with a penalty term. We estimate the conditional expected prediction loss by using the out-of-bag stratified bootstrap approach. In the presence of outliers, the stratified bootstrap ensures that we obtain bootstrap samples that are similar to the original sample data. Furthermore, to control the undue effect of outliers, we use the robust MM-estimator and a bounded loss function in the proposed criterion. Specifically, we observe that instead of minimizing the penalized loss function or the conditional expected prediction loss separately, it is better to minimize them simultaneously. The simulation and real-data based studies confirm the consistent and satisfactory behavior of our bootstrap model selection procedure in the presence of response outliers and covariate outliers.

Robust inflammatory breast cancer gene signature using nonparametric random forest analysis.

Project description:Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare, aggressive cancer found in all the molecular breast cancer subtypes. Despite extensive previous efforts to screen for transcriptional differences between IBC and non-IBC patients, a robust IBC-specific molecular signature has been elusive. We report a novel IBC-specific gene signature (59 genes; G59) that achieves 100% accuracy in discovery and validation samples (45/45 correct classification) and remarkably only misclassified one sample (60/61 correct classification) in an independent dataset. G59 is independent of ER/HER2 status, molecular subtypes and is specific to untreated IBC samples, with most of the genes being enriched for plasma membrane cellular component proteins, interleukin (IL), and chemokine signaling pathways. Our finding suggests the existence of an IBC-specific molecular signature, paving the way for the identification and validation of targetable genomic drivers of IBC.
