Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed an advanced algorithm for accurately identifying patients with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) using data from over 295,000 patients across various health facilities in Massachusetts.
  • The new phenotyping algorithm enhances precision in estimating the prevalence of PASC and reduces demographic bias, identifying over 24,000 patients with an accuracy of 79.9%.
  • This method paves the way for deeper studies into the complexities of PASC by providing reliable patient cohorts, surpassing limitations found in previous studies.

This paper presents a comprehensive workflow for integrating revolving events into the transitive sequential pattern mining (tSPM+) algorithm and Machine Learning for Health Outcomes (MLHO) framework, emphasizing best practices and pitfalls in its application. We emphasize feature engineering and visualization techniques, demonstrating their efficacy in capturing temporal relationships. Applied to an EGFR lung cancer cohort, our approach showcases reliable temporal insights even in a small dataset.

Scalable identification of patients with the post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) is challenging due to a lack of reproducible precision phenotyping algorithms and the suboptimal accuracy, demographic biases, and underestimation of the PASC diagnosis code (ICD-10 U09.9). In a retrospective case-control study, we developed a precision phenotyping algorithm for identifying research cohorts of PASC patients, defined as a diagnosis of exclusion.
