Processing of clinical notes for efficient diagnosis with feedback attention-based BiLSTM.

Abstract

Predicting a patient's future health state through the analysis of their clinical records is an emerging area in the field of intelligent medicine. It has the potential to assist healthcare professionals in prescribing treatments safely, making more accurate diagnoses, and improving patient care. However, clinical notes have been underutilized due to their complexity, high dimensionality, and sparsity. Nevertheless, these clinical records hold significant promise for enhancing clinical decision. To tackle these problems, a novel feedback attention-based bidirectional long short-term memory (FABiLSTM) model has been proposed for more effective diagnosis using clinical records. This model incorporates PubMedBERT for filtering irrelevant information, enhances global vector word embeddings for numerical representations and K-means clustering, and performs to explore term frequency and inverse document frequency intricacies. The proposed approach excels in capturing information, aiding accurate disease prediction. The predictive capability is further enhanced with the help of a billiards-inspired optimization algorithm. The effectiveness of the FABiLSTM method has been assessed with the MIMIC-III dataset, yielding impressive results in accuracy, precision, F1 score, and recall score of 98.52%, 98%, 98.2%, and 98.2% individually. These results reveal ways in which the proposed technique excels in comparison with current practices.
