Multiscale classification of heart failure phenotypes by unsupervised clustering of unstructured electronic medical record data
Abstract As a leading cause of death and morbidity, heart failure (HF) is responsible for a large portion of healthcare and disability costs worldwide. Current approaches to define specific HF subpopulations may fail to account for the diversity of etiologies, comorbidities, and factors driving dise...

Current approaches to define specific HF subpopulations may fail to account for the diversity of etiologies, comorbidities, and factors driving disease progression, and therefore have limited value for clinical decision making and development of novel therapies. Here we present a novel and data-driven approach to understand and characterize the real-world manifestation of HF by clustering disease and symptom-related clinical concepts (complaints) captured from unstructured electronic health record clinical notes. We used natural language processing to construct vectorized representations of patient complaints followed by clustering to group HF patients by similarity of complaint vectors. We then identified complaints that were significantly enriched within each cluster using statistical testing. Breaking the HF population into groups of similar patients revealed a clinically interpretable hierarchy of subgroups characterized by similar HF manifestation. Importantly, our methodology revealed well-known etiologies, risk factors, and comorbid conditions of HF (including ischemic heart disease, aortic valve disease, atrial fibrillation, congenital heart disease, various cardiomyopathies, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease) and yielded additional insights into the details of each HF subgroup’s clinical manifestation of HF. Our approach is entirely hypothesis free and can therefore be readily applied for discovery of novel insights in alternative diseases or patient populations.Tasha NagamineBrian GilletteAlexey PakhomovJohn KahounHannah MayerRolf BurghausJörg LippertMayur SaxenaNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 10, Iss 1, Pp 1-13 (2020) |
