Electronic Health Records (EHRs) play a crucial role in shaping predictive are models, yet they encounter challenges such as significant data gaps and class imbalances. Traditional Graph Neural Network (GNN) approaches have limitations in fully leveraging neighbourhood data or demanding intensive computational requirements for regularisation. To address this challenge, we introduce CliqueFluxNet, a novel framework that innovatively constructs a patient similarity graph to maximise cliques, thereby highlighting strong inter-patient connections. At the heart of CliqueFluxNet lies its stochastic edge fluxing strategy - a dynamic process involving random edge addition and removal during training. This strategy aims to enhance the model's generalisability and mitigate overfitting. Our empirical analysis, conducted on MIMIC-III and eICU datasets, focuses on the tasks of mortality and readmission prediction. It demonstrates significant progress in representation learning, particularly in scenarios with limited data availability. Qualitative assessments further underscore CliqueFluxNet's effectiveness in extracting meaningful EHR representations, solidifying its potential for advancing GNN applications in healthcare analytics.

Although most pregnancies result in a good outcome, complications are not uncommon and can be associated with serious implications for mothers and babies. Predictive modeling has the potential to improve outcomes through better understanding of risk factors, heightened surveillance for high risk patients, and more timely and appropriate interventions, thereby helping obstetricians deliver better care. We identify and study the most important risk factors for four types of pregnancy complications: (i) severe maternal morbidity, (ii) shoulder dystocia, (iii) preterm preeclampsia, and (iv) antepartum stillbirth. We use an Explainable Boosting Machine (EBM), a high-accuracy glass-box learning method, for prediction and identification of important risk factors. We undertake external validation and perform an extensive robustness analysis of the EBM models. EBMs match the accuracy of other black-box ML methods such as deep neural networks and random forests, and outperform logistic regression, while being more interpretable. EBMs prove to be robust. The interpretability of the EBM models reveals surprising insights into the features contributing to risk (e.g. maternal height is the second most important feature for shoulder dystocia) and may have potential for clinical application in the prediction and prevention of serious complications in pregnancy.
