Abstract

Introduction: Recently, medical artificial intelligence based on Electronic Health Records (EHR) is a significant research field, and EHR data has been widely used in clinical decision support systems and medical diagnosis systems. However, because EHR are used to record the patient's disease information and are not primarily designed for research and discovery, the utility of EHR for research will be hindered by data quality problems. Therefore, it is a meaningful and challenging task to evaluate the data quality of EHR before they are used in medical artificial intelligence. Most of the current EHR data quality evaluation methods are based on some conventional evaluation indicators, and rarely consider the introduction of clinical evidence.

Materials and methods: we propose an EHR data quality evaluation approach based on clinical evidence and a deep text matching model. First, based on the medical knowledge of the particular disease, we establish the list of standard clinical evidence descriptions including typical symptoms and special signs, etc. Then we find the relevant clinical evidence from the EHR based on the text matching model, and finally evaluate the quality of the EHR based on the quantity and quality of the relevant clinical evidence found.

Results: The experimental results of more than 1,000 EHR for two types of diseases show that our approach can effectively distinguish high-quality EHR from low-quality EHR, and the high-quality EHR found generally contains sufficient and consistent information related to disease diagnosis.

Conclusions: Experiments results on a real-world dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our EHR data quality evaluation approach based on medical knowledge and text matching.

基于医学知识和文本匹配的电子病历数据质量评价方法
引言:近年来,基于电子健康记录(EHR)的医疗人工智能是一个重要的研究领域,EHR数据已被广泛应用于临床决策支持系统和医疗诊断系统。然而,由于EHR用于记录患者的疾病信息,而不是主要为研究和发现而设计的,因此EHR用于研究的效用将受到数据质量问题的阻碍。因此,在EHR应用于医疗人工智能之前,对其数据质量进行评估是一项有意义且具有挑战性的任务。目前的EHR数据质量评价方法大多基于一些常规的评价指标,很少考虑引入临床证据。材料和方法:我们提出了一种基于临床证据和深度文本匹配模型的EHR数据质量评估方法。首先,基于特定疾病的医学知识,我们建立了标准临床证据描述列表,包括典型症状和特殊体征等。然后,我们基于文本匹配模型从EHR中找到相关临床证据,最后根据找到的相关临床证据的数量和质量来评估EHR的质量。结果:1000多个EHR对两种疾病的实验结果表明,我们的方法可以有效地区分高质量EHR和低质量EHR,并且发现的高质量EHR通常包含足够和一致的与疾病诊断相关的信息。结论:在真实世界数据集上的实验结果证明了我们基于医学知识和文本匹配的EHR数据质量评估方法的有效性。

期刊介绍: IRBM is the journal of the AGBM (Alliance for engineering in Biology an Medicine / Alliance pour le génie biologique et médical) and the SFGBM (BioMedical Engineering French Society / Société française de génie biologique médical) and the AFIB (French Association of Biomedical Engineers / Association française des ingénieurs biomédicaux). As a vehicle of information and knowledge in the field of biomedical technologies, IRBM is devoted to fundamental as well as clinical research. Biomedical engineering and use of new technologies are the cornerstones of IRBM, providing authors and users with the latest information. Its six issues per year propose reviews (state-of-the-art and current knowledge), original articles directed at fundamental research and articles focusing on biomedical engineering. All articles are submitted to peer reviewers acting as guarantors for IRBM''s scientific and medical content. The field covered by IRBM includes all the discipline of Biomedical engineering. Thereby, the type of papers published include those that cover the technological and methodological development in: -Physiological and Biological Signal processing (EEG, MEG, ECG…)- Medical Image processing- Biomechanics- Biomaterials- Medical Physics- Biophysics- Physiological and Biological Sensors- Information technologies in healthcare- Disability research- Computational physiology- …
