Abstract:
|
Most patients with chronic illnesses experience symptoms on and off throughout their life. Understanding differential remission and relapse risk profiles and predicting risk of relapses for individual patient are critical for optimizing disease management and improving long-term outcomes. However, medical records collected during clinical practice provide fragmented data with episodes of disease activities mostly observed after the onset of relapse. Disease activity during remission is often unobserved. In this study, we propose a method to improve the prediction of relapse using fragmented data from medical records. The method is applied to pediatric Crohn’s disease to better understand the remission and relapse cycle.
