本研究提出一种基于多尺度时间对齐网络(MSTAN)的风险预测方法,以应对电子健康记录(EHR)中时间不规则、采样间隔差异及多尺度动态依赖的挑战。模型通过可学习的时间对齐机制与多尺度卷积特征提取结构,在输入层将多源临床特征映射至统一高维语义空间,并利用时间嵌入与对齐模块动态加权非规则采样的数据,降低时间分布差异对模型性能的影响。多尺度特征提取模块通过多层卷积与层级融合,捕捉不同时间粒度的关键模式,实现患者状态的细粒度表征。最后,基于注意力的聚合机制整合全局时间依赖,生成个体级风险表示,用于疾病风险预测与健康状态评估。在多个公开EHR数据集上的实验表明,该模型在准确率、召回率、精确率和F1分数上均优于主流基线,验证了多尺度时间对齐在复杂医疗时序分析中的有效性。本研究为高维异步医疗序列的智能表征提供了新方案,为基于EHR的临床风险预测提供重要技术支持。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study proposes a risk prediction method based on a Multi-Scale Temporal Alignment Network (MSTAN) to address the challenges of temporal irregularity, sampling interval differences, and multi-scale dynamic dependencies in Electronic Health Records (EHR). The method focuses on temporal feature modeling by introducing a learnable temporal alignment mechanism and a multi-scale convolutional feature extraction structure to jointly model long-term trends and short-term fluctuations in EHR sequences. At the input level, the model maps multi-source clinical features into a unified high-dimensional semantic space and employs temporal embedding and alignment modules to dynamically weight irregularly sampled data, reducing the impact of temporal distribution differences on model performance. The multi-scale feature extraction module then captures key patterns across different temporal granularities through multi-layer convolution and hierarchical fusion, achieving a fine-grained representation of patient states. Finally, an attention-based aggregation mechanism integrates global temporal dependencies to generate individual-level risk representations for disease risk prediction and health status assessment. Experiments conducted on publicly available EHR datasets show that the proposed model outperforms mainstream baselines in accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-Score, demonstrating the effectiveness and robustness of multi-scale temporal alignment in complex medical time-series analysis. This study provides a new solution for intelligent representation of high-dimensional asynchronous medical sequences and offers important technical support for EHR-driven clinical risk prediction.
