Collaborative Denoising Autoencoder for High Glycated Haemoglobin Prediction

摘要

A pioneering study is presented demonstrating that the presence of high glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in a patient's blood can be reliably predicted from routinely collected clinical data. This paves the way for performing early detection of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). This will save healthcare providers a major cost associated with the administration and assessment of clinical tests for HbAlc. A novel collaborative denoising autoencoder framework is used to address this challenge. The framework builds an independent denoising autoencoder model for the high and low HbAlc level, which extracts feature representations in the latent space. A baseline model using just three features: patient age together with triglycerides and glucose level achieves 76% F1-score with an SVM classifier. The collaborative denoising autoencoder uses 78 features and can predict HbAlc level with 81% F1-score.
