Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly integral in clinical practice, such as during imaging tasks associated with the diagnosis and evaluation of blunt chest trauma (BCT). Due to significant advances in imaging-based deep learning, recent studies have demonstrated the efficacy of AI in the diagnosis of BCT, with a focus on rib fractures, pulmonary contusion, hemopneumothorax and others, demonstrating significant clinical progress. However, the complicated nature of BCT presents challenges in providing a comprehensive diagnosis and prognostic evaluation, and current deep learning research concentrates on specific clinical contexts, limiting its utility in addressing BCT intricacies. Here, we provide a review of the available evidence surrounding the potential utility of AI in BCT, and additionally identify the challenges impeding its development. This review offers insights on how to optimize the role of AI in the diagnostic evaluation of BCT, which can ultimately enhance patient care and outcomes in this critical clinical domain.

Gao J, Chen G, O’Rourke AP, Caskey J, Carey KA, Oguss M, Stey A, Dligach D, Miller T, Mayampurath A, Churpek MM, Afshar M. Automated stratification of trauma injury severity across multiple body regions using multi-modal, multi-class machine learning models. J Am Med Inform Assoc 2024; 31:1291-1302. [PMID: 38587875 PMCID: PMC11105131 DOI: 10.1093/jamia/ocae071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The timely stratification of trauma injury severity can enhance the quality of trauma care but it requires intense manual annotation from certified trauma coders. The objective of this study is to develop machine learning models for the stratification of trauma injury severity across various body regions using clinical text and structured electronic health records (EHRs) data. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study utilized clinical documents and structured EHR variables linked with the trauma registry data to create 2 machine learning models with different approaches to representing text. The first one fuses concept unique identifiers (CUIs) extracted from free text with structured EHR variables, while the second one integrates free text with structured EHR variables. Temporal validation was undertaken to ensure the models' temporal generalizability. Additionally, analyses to assess the variable importance were conducted. RESULTS Both models demonstrated impressive performance in categorizing leg injuries, achieving high accuracy with macro-F1 scores of over 0.8. Additionally, they showed considerable accuracy, with macro-F1 scores exceeding or near 0.7, in assessing injuries in the areas of the chest and head. We showed in our variable importance analysis that the most important features in the model have strong face validity in determining clinically relevant trauma injuries. DISCUSSION The CUI-based model achieves comparable performance, if not higher, compared to the free-text-based model, with reduced complexity. Furthermore, integrating structured EHR data improves performance, particularly when the text modalities are insufficiently indicative. CONCLUSIONS Our multi-modal, multiclass models can provide accurate stratification of trauma injury severity and clinically relevant interpretations.

Lee JY, Lee W, Cho SI. Characteristics of fatal occupational injuries in migrant workers in South Korea: A machine learning study. Heliyon 2023; 9:e20138. [PMID: 37810039 PMCID: PMC10559917 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e20138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Analysis of occupational injuries is essential for developing preventive strategies. However, few studies have evaluated severe occupational injuries in migrant workers from the perspective of gender. Therefore, using a new analytical method, this study was performed to identify gender-specific characteristics associated with fatal occupational injuries among migrant workers; the interactions between these factors, were also analyzed. In addition, we compared the utility of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) with logistic regression (LR) and discuss caveats regarding its use. Materials and methods We analyzed national statistics for occupational injuries among migrant workers (n = 67,576) in South Korea between January 1, 2007, and September 30, 2018. We applied an extreme gradient boosting model and developed SHAP and LR models for comparison. Results We found clear gender differences in fatal occupational injuries among migrant workers, with males in the same occupation having a higher risk of death than females. These gender differences suggest the need for gender-specific occupational injury prevention interventions for migrant workers to reduce the mortality rate. Occupation was a significant predictor of death among female migrant workers only, with care jobs having the highest fatality risk. The occupational fatality risk of female workers would not have been identified without the performance of detailed job-specific analyses stratified by gender. The major advantages of SHAP identified in the present study were the automatic identification and analysis of interactions, ability to determine the relative contributions of each feature, and high overall performance. The major caveat when using SHAP is that causality cannot be established. Conclusion Detailed job-specific analyses stratified by gender, and interventions considering the gender of migrant workers, are necessary to reduce occupational fatality rates. The XAI approach should be considered as a complementary analytical method for epidemiological studies, as it overcomes the limitations of traditional statistical analyses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Accurate and rapid phenotyping is a prerequisite to leveraging electronic health records for biomedical research. While early phenotyping relied on rule-based algorithms curated by experts, machine learning (ML) approaches have emerged as an alternative to improve scalability across phenotypes and healthcare settings. This study evaluates ML-based phenotyping with respect to (1) the data sources used, (2) the phenotypes considered, (3) the methods applied, and (4) the reporting and evaluation methods used. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed and Web of Science for articles published between 2018 and 2022. After screening 850 articles, we recorded 37 variables on 100 studies. RESULTS Most studies utilized data from a single institution and included information in clinical notes. Although chronic conditions were most commonly considered, ML also enabled the characterization of nuanced phenotypes such as social determinants of health. Supervised deep learning was the most popular ML paradigm, while semi-supervised and weakly supervised learning were applied to expedite algorithm development and unsupervised learning to facilitate phenotype discovery. ML approaches did not uniformly outperform rule-based algorithms, but deep learning offered a marginal improvement over traditional ML for many conditions. DISCUSSION Despite the progress in ML-based phenotyping, most articles focused on binary phenotypes and few articles evaluated external validity or used multi-institution data. Study settings were infrequently reported and analytic code was rarely released. CONCLUSION Continued research in ML-based phenotyping is warranted, with emphasis on characterizing nuanced phenotypes, establishing reporting and evaluation standards, and developing methods to accommodate misclassified phenotypes due to algorithm errors in downstream applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have developed automatic systems for identifying social distress, spiritual pain, and severe physical and phycological symptoms from text data in electronic medical records. AIM To develop models to detect social distress, spiritual pain, and severe physical and psychological symptoms in terminally ill patients with cancer from unstructured text data contained in electronic medical records. DESIGN A retrospective study of 1,554,736 narrative clinical records was analyzed 1 month before patients died. Supervised machine learning models were trained to detect comprehensive symptoms, and the performance of the models was tested using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and precision recall curve (AUPRC). SETTING/PARTICIPANTS A total of 808 patients was included in the study using records obtained from a university hospital in Japan between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019. As training data, we used medical records labeled for detecting social distress (n = 10,000) and spiritual pain (n = 10,000), and records that could be combined with the Support Team Assessment Schedule (based on date) for detecting severe physical/psychological symptoms (n = 5409). RESULTS Machine learning models for detecting social distress had AUROC and AUPRC values of 0.98 and 0.61, respectively; values for spiritual pain, were 0.90 and 0.58, respectively. The machine learning models accurately identified severe symptoms (pain, dyspnea, nausea, insomnia, and anxiety) with a high level of discrimination (AUROC > 0.8). CONCLUSION The machine learning models could detect social distress, spiritual pain, and severe symptoms in terminally ill patients with cancer from text data contained in electronic medical records.
