AbstractIt is extremely important to identify patients with acute pancreatitis who are at high risk for developing persistent organ failures early in the course of the disease. Due to the irregularity of longitudinal data and the poor interpretability of complex models, many models used to identify acute pancreatitis patients with a high risk of organ failure tended to rely on simple statistical models and limited their application to the early stages of patient admission. With the success of recurrent neural networks in modeling longitudinal medical data and the development of interpretable algorithms, these problems can be well addressed. In this study, we developed a novel model named Multi-task and Time-aware Gated Recurrent Unit RNN (MT-GRU) to directly predict organ failure in patients with acute pancreatitis based on irregular medical EMR data. Our proposed end-to-end multi-task model achieved significantly better performance compared to two-stage models. In addition, our model not only provided an accurate early warning of organ failure for patients throughout their hospital stay, but also demonstrated individual and population-level important variables, allowing physicians to understand the scientific basis of the model for decision-making. By providing early warning of the risk of organ failure, our proposed model is expected to assist physicians in improving outcomes for patients with acute pancreatitis.
