Pediatric readmission classification using stacked regularized logistic regression models [Elektronski vir]Štiglic, Gregor ...Background: Regulations and privacy concerns often hinder exchange of healthcare data between hospitals or other healthcare providers. Sharing predictive models built on original data and averaging ... their results offers an alternative to more efficient prediction of outcomes on new cases. Although one can choose from many techniques to combine outputs from different predictive models, it is difficult to find studies that try to interpret the results obtained from ensemble-learning methods. Methods: We propose a novel approach to classification based on models from different hospitals that allows a high level of performance along with comprehensibility of obtained results. Our approach is based on regularized sparse regression models in two hierarchical levels and exploits the interpretability of obtained regression coefficients to rank the contribution of hospitals in terms of outcome prediction. Results: The proposed approach was used to predict the 30-days all-cause readmissions for pediatric patients in 54 Californian hospitals. Using repeated holdout evaluation, including more than 60,000 hospital discharge records, we compared the proposed approach to alternative approaches. The performance of two-level classification model was measured using the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) with an additional evaluation that uncovered the importance and contribution of each single data source (i.e. hospital) to the final result. The results for the best distributed model (AUC=0.787, 95% CI: 0.780-0.794) demonstrate no significant difference in terms of AUC performance when compared to a single elastic net model built on all available data (AUC=0.789, 95% CI:0.781-0.796). Conclusions: This paper presents a novel approach to improved classification with shared predictive models for environments where centralized collection of data is not possible. The significant improvements in classification performance and interpretability of results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.Source: AMIA 2014 Annual Symposium proceedings, November 15-19, 2014, Washington DC [Elektronski vir] (Str. 1072-1081)Type of material - conference contributionPublish date - 2014Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 2067108
