Electronic health records (EHRs) contain both ordered and unordered chronologies of clinical events that occur during a patient encounter. However, during data preprocessing steps, many predictive models impose a predefined order on unordered clinical events sets (e.g., alphabetical, natural order from the chart, etc.), which is potentially incompatible with the temporal nature of the sequence and predictive task. To address this issue, we propose DPSS, which seeks to capture each patients clinical event records as sequences of event sets. For each clinical event set, we assume that the predictive model should be invariant to the order of concurrent events and thus employ a novel permutation sampling mechanism. This paper evaluates the use of this permuted sampling method given different data-driven models for predicting a heart failure (HF) diagnosis in subsequent patient visits. Experimental results using the MIMIC-III dataset show that the permutation sampling mechanism offers improved discriminative power based on the area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) and precision-recall curve (pr-AUC) metrics as HF diagnosis prediction becomes more robust to different data ordering schemes.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
