用大模型端到端提取并排序罕见病表型,提升诊断效率。

An artificial intelligence framework for end-to-end rare disease phenotyping from clinical notes using large language models

  • 整合抽取、标准化、排序三步,模拟临床真实工作流。
  • 在2671例患者数据上训练,外推验证达1.6万条真实病历。
  • 相比现有模型,表型相似度提升至0.70,更贴近医生标注。

表型分析是罕见病诊断的基础,但人工从临床笔记中结构化提取表型费时且难扩展。现有AI方法多只优化单一环节,未能贯通从文本提取特征、映射至人类表型本体(HPO)术语、再到优先级排序的完整流程。本文提出RARE-PHENIX,一个端到端的罕见病表型分析AI框架,集成基于大语言模型的表型抽取、以本体为基准的标准化、以及监督式诊断信息优先级排序。模型在来自11个未确诊疾病网络临床站点的2,671例患者数据上训练,并在范德堡大学医学中心的16,357条真实临床笔记上进行外部验证。以临床医生标注的HPO术语为金标准,RARE-PHENIX在端到端评估中持续优于当前最优深度学习基线(PhenoBERT),在本体相似性、精确率-召回率-F1等指标上表现更优(如本体相似度0.70 vs. 0.58)。消融实验表明每增加一个模块均带来性能提升,验证了全工作流建模的价值。该框架输出结构化、排序后的表型,更符合临床习惯,有望支持真实场景下的医工协作诊断。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Phenotyping is fundamental to rare disease diagnosis, but manual curation of structured phenotypes from clinical notes is labor-intensive and difficult to scale. Existing artificial intelligence approaches typically optimize individual components of phenotyping but do not operationalize the full clinical workflow of extracting features from clinical text, standardizing them to Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms, and prioritizing diagnostically informative HPO terms. We developed RARE-PHENIX, an end-to-end AI framework for rare disease phenotyping that integrates large language model-based phenotype extraction, ontology-grounded standardization to HPO terms, and supervised ranking of diagnostically informative phenotypes. We trained RARE-PHENIX using data from 2,671 patients across 11 Undiagnosed Diseases Network clinical sites, and externally validated it on 16,357 real-world clinical notes from Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Using clinician-curated HPO terms as the gold standard, RARE-PHENIX consistently outperformed a state-of-the-art deep learning baseline (PhenoBERT) across ontology-based similarity and precision-recall-F1 metrics in end-to-end evaluation (i.e., ontology-based similarity of 0.70 vs. 0.58). Ablation analyses demonstrated performance improvements with the addition of each module in RARE-PHENIX (extraction, standardization, and prioritization), supporting the value of modeling the full clinical phenotyping workflow. By modeling phenotyping as a clinically aligned workflow rather than a single extraction task, RARE-PHENIX provides structured, ranked phenotypes that are more concordant with clinician curation and has the potential to support human-in-the-loop rare disease diagnosis in real-world settings.
