    Abstract Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a complex clinical phenotype with unprecedented social and economic tolls on an ageing global population. Real-world data (RWD) from electronic health records (EHRs) offer opportunities to accelerate precision drug development and scale epidemiological research on AD. A precise characterization of AD cohorts is needed to address the noise abundant in RWD.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study to develop and test computational models for AD cohort identification using clinical data from 8 Massachusetts healthcare systems. We mined temporal representations from EHR data using the transitive sequential pattern mining algorithm (tSPM) to train and validate our models. We then tested our models against a held-out test set from a review of medical records to adjudicate the presence of AD. We trained two classes of Machine Learning models, using Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), to compare the utility of AD diagnosis records versus the tSPM temporal representations (comprising sequences of diagnosis and medication observations) from electronic medical records for characterizing AD cohorts.
    Findings: In a group of 4985 patients, we identified 219 tSPM temporal representations (i.e., transitive sequences) of medical records for constructing the best classification models. The models with sequential features improved AD classification by a magnitude of 3-16 percent over the use of AD diagnosis codes alone. The computed cohort included 663 patients, 35 of whom had no record of AD. Six groups of tSPM sequences were identified for characterizing the AD cohorts.
    Interpretation: We present sequential patterns of diagnosis and medication codes from electronic medical records, as digital markers of Alzheimer's Disease. Classification algorithms developed on sequential patterns can replace standard features from EHRs to enrich phenotype modelling.

    Abstract Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the world with health and economic wreckage. Precise estimates of adverse outcomes from COVID-19 could have led to better allocation of healthcare resources and more efficient targeted preventive measures, including insight into prioritizing how to best distribute a vaccination. We developed MLHO (pronounced as melo), an end-to-end Machine Learning framework that leverages iterative feature and algorithm selection to predict Health Outcomes. MLHO implements iterative sequential representation mining, and feature and model selection, for predicting patient-level risk of hospitalization, ICU admission, need for mechanical ventilation, and death. It bases this prediction on data from patients’ past medical records (before their COVID-19 infection). MLHO’s architecture enables a parallel and outcome-oriented model calibration, in which different statistical learning algorithms and vectors of features are simultaneously tested to improve prediction of health outcomes. Using clinical and demographic data from a large cohort of over 13,000 COVID-19-positive patients, we modeled the four adverse outcomes utilizing about 600 features representing patients’ pre-COVID health records and demographics. The mean AUC ROC for mortality prediction was 0.91, while the prediction performance ranged between 0.80 and 0.81 for the ICU, hospitalization, and ventilation. We broadly describe the clusters of features that were utilized in modeling and their relative influence for predicting each outcome. Our results demonstrated that while demographic variables (namely age) are important predictors of adverse outcomes after a COVID-19 infection, the incorporation of the past clinical records are vital for a reliable prediction model. As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds around the world, adaptable and interpretable machine learning frameworks (like MLHO) are crucial to improve our readiness for confronting the potential future waves of COVID-19, as well as other novel infectious diseases that may ...

    Abstract Background and objective: Electronic Health Record (EHR) data often include observation records that are unlikely to represent the "truth" about a patient at a given clinical encounter. Due to their high throughput, examples of such implausible observations are frequent in records of laboratory test results and vital signs. Outlier detection methods can offer low-cost solutions to flagging implausible EHR observations. This article evaluates the utility of a semi-supervised encoding approach (super-encoding) for constructing non-linear exemplar data distributions from EHR observation data and detecting non-conforming observations as outliers.
    Methods: Two hypotheses are tested using experimental design and non-parametric hypothesis testing procedures: (1) adding demographic features (e.g., age, gender, race/ethnicity) can increase precision in outlier detection, (2) sampling small subsets of the large EHR data can increase outlier detection by reducing noise-to-signal ratio. The experiments involved applying 492 encoder configurations (involving different input features, architectures, sampling ratios, and error margins) to a set of 30 datasets EHR observations including laboratory tests and vital sign records extracted from the Research Patient Data Registry (RPDR) from Partners HealthCare.
    Results: Results are obtained from (30 × 492) 14,760 encoders. The semi-supervised encoding approach (super-encoding) outperformed conventional autoencoders in outlier detection. Adding age of the patient at the observation (encounter) to the baseline encoder that only included observation value as the input feature slightly improved outlier detection. Top-nine performing encoders are introduced. The best outlier detection performance was from a semi-supervised encoder, with observation value as the single feature and a single hidden layer, built on one percent of the data and one percent reconstruction error. At least one encoder configurations had a Youden's J index higher than 0.9999 for all 30 observation types.
    Conclusion: Given the multiplicity of distributions for a single observation in EHR data (i.e., same observation represented with different names or units), as well as non-linearity of human observations, encoding offers huge promises for outlier detection in large-scale data repositories. https://github.com/hestiri/superencoder.

    Abstract Motivation: Expert-labeled data are essential to train phenotyping algorithms for cohort identification. However expert labeling is time and labor intensive, and the costs remain prohibitive for scaling phenotyping to wider use-cases.
    Results: We present an approach referred to as polar labeling (PL), to create silver standard for training machine learning (ML) for disease classification. We test the hypothesis that ML models trained on the silver standard created by applying PL on unlabeled patient records, are comparable in performance to the ML models trained on gold standard, created by clinical experts through manual review of patient records. We perform experimental validation using health records of 38 023 patients spanning six diseases. Our results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach.
    Availability and implementation: We provide a Python implementation of the algorithm and the Python code developed for this study on Github.
    Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

    Abstract Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling is essential for a balanced immune response by mediating the development and function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and suppressing autoreactive T cells. Disruption of this balance can result in autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) targeting TGF-β signaling have been shown to be upregulated in naïve CD4 T cells in MS patients, resulting in a limited in vitro generation of human Tregs. Utilizing the murine model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, we show that perinatal administration of miRNAs, which target the TGF-β signaling pathway, enhanced susceptibility to central nervous system (CNS) autoimmunity. Neonatal mice administered with these miRNAs further exhibited reduced Treg frequencies with a loss in T cell receptor repertoire diversity following the induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in adulthood. Exacerbated CNS autoimmunity as a result of miRNA overexpression in CD4 T cells was accompanied by enhanced Th1 and Th17 cell frequencies. These findings demonstrate that increased levels of TGF-β-associated miRNAs impede the development of a diverse Treg population, leading to enhanced effector cell activity, and contributing to an increased susceptibility to CNS autoimmunity. Thus, TGF-β-targeting miRNAs could be a risk factor for MS, and recovering optimal TGF-β signaling may restore immune homeostasis in MS patients.
