Researchers have developed a new Deep Neural Network (DNN) model with a pooling mechanism to improve the prediction of patient mortality after hospital discharge. This model leverages unstructured medical notes, which often present data quality challenges, to enhance predictive accuracy. Experiments show that incorporating information from these notes generally increases AUC-ROC by 0.1, and the proposed DNN model achieves a 2% to 14% improvement over traditional machine learning models across various post-discharge timeframes.
