The high-dimensionality, complexity, and irregularity of electronic health records (EHR) data create significant challenges for both simplified and comprehensive health assessments, prohibiting an efficient extraction of actionable insights by clinicians. If we can provide human decision-makers with a simplified set of interpretable composite indices (i.e., combining information about groups of related measures into single representative values), it will facilitate effective clinical decision-making. In this study, we built a structured deep embedding model aimed at reducing the dimensionality of the input variables by grouping related measurements as determined by domain experts (e.g., clinicians). Our results suggest that composite indices representing liver function may consistently be the most important factor in the early detection of pancreatic cancer (PC). We propose our model as a basis for leveraging deep learning toward developing composite indices from EHR for predicting health outcomes, including but not limited to various cancers, with clinically meaningful interpretations. Our study shows deep-learning-based approach for generating composite indices (CIs) The approach incorporates the method for domain-knowledge fusion A strategy for grouping relevant information determines CI interpretability The domain-knowledge-informed CI can facilitate clinical decision-making The explosive growth in the volume of patient medical records has resulted in an overload of information for healthcare providers, and there are currently numerous significant challenges associated with leveraging this information to improve the quality of clinical decision-making. In this work, we aim to develop new simplified representations of patient states that are both predictive and interpretable to physicians. These patient state representations are aggregated via deep-learning architectures that leverage domain knowledge to group the large number of clinical variables available per patient into a simplified set of composite indices while preserving the ability to explain how the model arrived at the final prediction. We anticipate that our methods for domain-knowledge fusion will provide a basis for producing new interpretable high-level composite indices that reduce “black box” concerns regarding model validity and therefore improve clinical adoption into decision-making. This study presents the proof of concept for a generative deep-learning model that can distill a massive volume of EHR variables into a tractable set of composite indices that quantify the risk of cancer in a clinically meaningful and human interpretable form. With the specific aim of the early detection of pancreatic cancer, we generated five organ-specific composite indices out of 206 clinical time-series variables from EHR, and the composite index representing liver function was consistently shown to be the most important predictor.
