| Abstract | Background Pattern mining techniques are helpful tools when extracting new knowledge in real practice, but the overwhelming number of patterns is still a limiting factor in the health-care domain. Current efforts concerning the definition of measures of interest for patterns are focused on reducing the number of patterns and quantifying their relevance (utility/usefulness). However, although the temporal dimension plays a key role in medical records, few efforts have been made to extract temporal knowledge about the patient’s evolution from multivariate sequential patterns. Methods In this paper, we propose a method to extract a new type of patterns in the clinical domain called Jumping Diagnostic Odds Ratio Sequential Patterns (JDORSP). The aim of this method is to employ the odds ratio to identify a concise set of sequential patterns that represent a patient’s state with a statistically significant protection factor (i.e., a pattern associated with patients that survive) and those extensions whose evolution suddenly changes the patient’s clinical state, thus making the sequential patterns a statistically significant risk factor (i.e., a pattern associated with patients that do not survive), or vice versa. Results The results of our experiments highlight that our method reduces the number of sequential patterns obtained with state-of-the-art pattern reduction methods by over 95%. Only by achieving this drastic reduction can medical experts carry out a comprehensive clinical evaluation of the patterns that might be considered medical knowledge regarding the temporal evolution of the patients. We have evaluated the surprisingness and relevance of the sequential patterns with clinicians, and the most interesting fact is the high surprisingness of the extensions of the patterns that become a protection factor, that is, the patients that recover after several days of being at high risk of dying. Conclusions Our proposed method with which to extract JDORSP generates a set of interpretable multivariate sequential patterns with new knowledge regarding the temporal evolution of the patients. The number of patterns is greatly reduced when compared to those generated by other methods and measures of interest. An additional advantage of this method is that it does not require any parameters or thresholds, and that the reduced number of patterns allows a manual evaluation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
