Clinical notes, in particular, may contain nuanced information about a patient’s condition, treatment plans, and history that structured data may not capture. As a result, and with advancements in natural language processing, clinical notes have been increasingly used in supervised prediction models. To predict long-term outcomes such as chronic disease and mortality, it is often advantageous to leverage data occurring at multiple time points in a patient’s history. However, these data are often collected at irregular time intervals and varying frequencies, thus posing an analytical challenge. Here, we propose the use of large language models (LLMs) for robust temporal harmonization of clinical notes across multiple visits. We compare multiple state-of-the-art LLMs in their ability to generate useful information during time gaps, and evaluate performance in supervised deep learning models for clinical prediction.","PeriodicalId":501249,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Intensive Care and Critical Care Medicine","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140935378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
