用主动学习提升疫苗安全信号检测效率,从急诊记录中快速发现潜在风险。

Actively evaluating and learning the distinctions that matter: Vaccine safety signal detection from emergency triage notes

  • 结合主动学习与数据增强,减少人工标注需求
  • 在少量标注数据下实现高准确率的信号识别
  • 适合医疗安全监测与公共卫生应急响应团队使用

新冠疫苗的快速研发展现了全球应对传染病的能力,但临床试验中安全性数据收集窗口有限,亟需上市后监测系统。本研究利用自然语言处理与主动学习技术,构建一个从急诊科分诊记录中检测疫苗安全信号的分类器。急诊分诊记录包含患者初诊时的关键生命体征信息,可有效支持疫苗安全信号的及时发现。尽管基于关键词的方法有一定效果,但易产生误报,且因接种相关就诊较少、症状相似,难以维护关键词库。自然语言处理虽更精准高效,但依赖标注数据,而医学领域标注数据稀缺。主动学习可优化标注流程,提升数据质量,加快模型部署并改善性能。本研究通过融合主动学习、数据增强及主动评估技术,构建了高效疫苗安全监测分类器。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines has showcased the global communitys ability to combat infectious diseases. However, the need for post-licensure surveillance systems has grown due to the limited window for safety data collection in clinical trials and early widespread implementation. This study aims to employ Natural Language Processing techniques and Active Learning to rapidly develop a classifier that detects potential vaccine safety issues from emergency department notes. ED triage notes, containing expert, succinct vital patient information at the point of entry to health systems, can significantly contribute to timely vaccine safety signal surveillance. While keyword-based classification can be effective, it may yield false positives and demand extensive keyword modifications. This is exacerbated by the infrequency of vaccination-related ED presentations and their similarity to other reasons for ED visits. NLP offers a more accurate and efficient alternative, albeit requiring annotated data, which is often scarce in the medical field. Active learning optimizes the annotation process and the quality of annotated data, which can result in faster model implementation and improved model performance. This work combines active learning, data augmentation, and active learning and evaluation techniques to create a classifier that is used to enhance vaccine safety surveillance from ED triage notes.
