Objective: Electronic Health Record (EHR) based phenotyping is a crucial yet challenging problem in the biomedical field. Though clinicians typically determine patient-level diagnoses via manual chart review, the sheer volume and heterogeneity of EHR data renders such tasks challenging, time-consuming, and prohibitively expensive, thus leading to a scarcity of clinical annotations in EHRs. Weakly supervised learning algorithms have been successfully applied to various EHR phenotyping problems, due to their ability to leverage information from large quantities of unlabeled samples to better inform predictions based on a far smaller number of patients. However, most weakly supervised methods are subject to the challenge to choose the right cutoff value to generate an optimal classifier. Furthermore, since they only utilize the most informative features (i.e., main ICD and NLP counts) they may fail for episodic phenotypes that cannot be consistently detected via ICD and NLP data. In this paper, we propose a label-efficient, weakly semi-supervised deep learning algorithm for EHR phenotyping (WSS-DL), which overcomes the limitations above. Materials and Methods: WSS-DL classifies patient-level disease status through a series of learning stages: 1) generating silver standard labels, 2) deriving enhanced-silver-standard labels by fitting a weakly supervised deep learning model to data with silver standard labels as outcomes and high dimensional EHR features as input, and 3) obtaining the final prediction score and classifier by fitting a supervised learning model to data with a minimal number of gold standard labels as the outcome, and the enhanced-silver-standard labels and a minimal set of most informative EHR features as input. To assess the generalizability of WSS-DL across different phenotypes and medical institutions, we apply WSS-DL to classify a total of 17 diseases, including both acute and chronic conditions, using EHR data from three healthcare systems.
