Exploiting complex medical data with interpretable deep learning for adverse drug event prediction

作者:

Highlights:

• Prediction of ADEs from heterogeneous medical records using RNNs.

• A new RNN architecture, augmenting RETAIN to permit ADE risk factors.

• Further augmentation RETAIN by including clinical text features.

• Empirical evaluation of various architecture configurations.

• Demonstration of the importance of interpretability supported by attention mechanisms.
