This paper introduces a model that predicts future changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP) based on structured and unstructured (text-based) information from longitudinal clinical records. For each patient, the clinical records are sorted in chronological order and SBP measurements are extracted from them. The model predicts future changes in SBP based on the preceding clinical notes. This is accomplished using least median squares regression on salient features found using a feature selection algorithm. Using the prediction model, a correlation coefficient of 0.47 is achieved on unseen test data (p < .0001). This is in contrast to a baseline correlation coefficient of 0.39. The graph on the left represents the actual change in a patient’s SBP on the horizontal axis, and the change in SBP predicted by the model on the vertical axis. The diagonal line goes through all points in the graph where “Actual SBP Change” is equal to “Predicted SBP Change”. As such, the closer a plotted point is to the diagonal line, the more accurate the prediction.
