BackgroundAs of 2014, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in Japan. Predicting a future diagnosis of stroke would better enable proactive forms of healthcare measures to be taken. We aim to predict a diagnosis of stroke within one year of the patient's last set of exam results or medical diagnoses.MethodsAround 8000 electronic health records were provided by Tsuyama Jifukai Tsuyama Chuo Hospital in Japan. These records contained non-homogeneous temporal data which were first transformed into a form usable by an algorithm. The transformed data were used as input into several neural network architectures designed to evaluate efficacy of the supplied data and also the networks' capability at exploiting relationships that could underlie the data. The prevalence of stroke cases resulted in imbalanced class outputs which resulted in trained neural network models being biased towards negative predictions. To address this issue, we designed and incorporated regularization terms into the standard cross-entropy loss function. These terms penalized false positive and false negative predictions. We evaluated the performance of our trained models using Receiver Operating Characteristic.ResultsThe best neural network incorporated and combined the different sources of temporal data through a dual-input topology. This network attained area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve of 0.669. The custom regularization terms had a positive effect on the training process when compared against the standard cross-entropy loss function.ConclusionsThe techniques we describe in this paper are viable and the developed models form part of the foundation of a national clinical decision support system.
