Learning an expandable EMR-based medical knowledge network to enhance clinical diagnosis.

Abstract:

:Electronic medical records (EMRs) contain a wealth of knowledge that can be used to assist doctors in making clinical decisions like disease diagnosis. Constructing a medical knowledge network (MKN) to link medical concepts in EMRs is an effective way to manage this knowledge. The quality of the diagnostic result made by MKN-based clinical decision support system depends on the accuracy of medical knowledge and the completeness of the network. However, collecting knowledge is a long-lasting and cumulative process, which means it's hard to construct a complete MKN with limited data. This study was conducted with the objective of developing an expandable EMR-based MKN to enhance capabilities in making an initial clinical diagnosis. A network of symptom-indicate-disease knowledge in 992 Chinese EMRs (CEMRs) was manually constructed as Original-MKN, and an incremental expansion framework was applied to it to obtain an expandable MKN based on new CEMRs. The framework was composed by: (1) integrating external knowledge extracted from the medical information websites and (2) mining potential knowledge with new EMRs. The framework also adopts a diagnosis-driven learning method to estimate the effectiveness of each knowledge in clinical practice. Experimental results indicate that our expanded MKN achieves a precision of 0.837 for a recall of 0.719 in clinical diagnosis, which outperforms Original-MKN and four classical machine learning methods. Furthermore, both external medical knowledge and potential medical knowledge benefit MKN expansion and disease diagnosis. The proposed incremental expansion framework sustains the MKN learning new knowledge.
