Predicting warfarin dosage from clinical data: A supervised learning approach


OutlinesMotivationObjectivesMethodologyExperimentsConclusionsComments


Motivation

Physicians use computerized dosing nomograms of warfarin as reference .It merely consider age and INR values not enough for dose adjustment.


Objectives• Build a warfarin dosage prediction model utilizing a

number of supervised learning techniques to help dose adjustment.


Warfarin


Prediction model for warfarin dosing- Single classifiers (1) KNN

(2) SVRGiven a set of training instances

xi : input vector yi : actual output of xi

a regression function

ε-SVR can be formulated

regression hyperplane


Methodology - Single classifiers (3) M5 (model-tree-based regression algorithm)

use standard deviation reductionTree-building :

specific node

standard deviation of the class values of all instances in a child-node Nt,i,


Methodology - M5

error term

tree-pruning


Methodology – MLP

(4) MLP


Methodology – Classifier ensemble

Voting (weight)

Bagged Voting method

Decide the estimated output by combining the results of different classifiers.


Experiments – Data preparation Collected 587 clinical cases (INR value 1~3)

Drug-to-drug interaction (DDI)424 163

Use Bagging496


Experiments – Performance measures

Experiments – Evaluation results


Experiments – The average of evaluation results


Conclusions– The investigated models can not only facilitate

clinicians in dosage decision-making, but also help reduce patient risk from adverse drug events.


Comments• Advantages

– More accurate.• Applications

– Warfarin dosage prediction.
