Implementation of an incremental deep learning model for survival prediction of cardiovascular patients

Abstract

<span lang="EN-US">Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year and representing 31% of all global deaths. The patient records including blood reports, cardiac echo reports, and physician’s notes can be used to perform feature analysis and to accurately classify heart disease patients. In this paper, an incremental deep learning model was developed and trained with stochastic gradient descent using feedforward neural networks. The chi-square test and the dropout regularization have been incorporated into the model to improve the generalization capabilities and the performance of the heart disease patients' classification model. The impact of the learning rate and the depth of neural networks on the performance were explored. The hyperbolic tangent, the rectifier linear unit, the Maxout, and the exponential rectifier linear unit were used as activation functions for the hidden and the output layer neurons. To avoid over-optimistic results, the performance of the proposed model was evaluated using balanced accuracy and the overall predictive value in addition to the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The obtained results are promising, and the proposed model can be applied to a larger dataset and used by physicians to accurately classify heart disease patients.</span>

“…Extravasation or "tissuing" are terms that may refer to unintentional iatrogenic leaking of fluids following phlebotomy or intravenous drug administration techniques, a process that is also known as extravasation or "tissuing." [30]- [32]. Lung opacification is defined as reducing the gas to soft tissue (including blood, lung parenchyma, and stromal cells) inside the lung.…”

A Comprehensive Investigation of the Performances of Different Machine Learning Classifiers with SMOTE-ENN Oversampling Technique and Hyperparameter Optimization for Imbalanced Heart Failure Dataset

“…Furthermore, Elyassami and Kaddour formed an incremental deep learning model and used stochastic gradient descent to train the model. To increase the performance of the heart disease patient's classification model, they implemented the chi-square test and dropout regularization into the model, and the model achieved a balanced accuracy of 91.43% [33]. However, Rubini et al presented a comparative analysis of machine learning techniques like Random Forest Classifier (RFC), Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Naïve Bayes (NB) in the classification of cardiovascular disease.…”

A deep learning approach based on stochastic gradient descent and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator for identifying diabetic retinopathy

“…The artificial intelligence techniques are widely used for classification and prediction in many applications [1]- [5]. In medical diagnosis, the deep learning models are becoming more popular for identifying various diseases [6], [7]. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the serious eye diseases which needs to be accurately identified.…”
