Personalized treatment development is hindered by two issues: compressing large, complex datasets and improving the precision of prognoses derived from initial clinical presentation. The study develops and applies interpretable machine learning for data distillation and precision prognoses in TBI, showing clinically interpretable latent factors, 19 outcome clusters predicted from intake data with ~6× precision improvement, and 36% outcome variance explained by the model.","UCSF  \nUC San Francisco Previously Published Works  \nTitle  \nData-driven distillation and precision prognosis in traumatic brain injury with interpretable machine learning  \nPermalink  \n[https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5rf8j3vd](https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5rf8j3vd)  \nJournal  \nScientific Reports, 13(1)  \nISSN  \n2045-2322  \nAuthors  \nTritt, Andrew  \nYue, John K Ferguson, Adam Ret al.  \nPublication Date  \n2023  \nDOI  \n10.1038/s41598-023-48054-z  \nCopyright Information  \nThis work is made available under the terms of a Creative Commons Attribution License, available at [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  \nPeer reviewed  \n[eScholarship.org](eScholarship.org) Powered by the California Digital Library  \nUniversity of California  \n[www. nature.com/scientificreports](www. nature.com/scientificreports)  \nOPEN  \nData‑driven distillation and precision prognosis in traumatic brain injury with interpretable machine learning  \nAndrew Tritt1, John K.

Bouchard7,8,9,10* & the TRACK‑TBI Investigators*  \nTraumatic brain injury (TBI) affects how the brain functions in the short and long term. Resulting patient outcomes across physical, cognitive, and psychological domains are complex and often difficult to predict. Major challenges to developing personalized treatment forTBI include distilling large quantities of complex data and increasing the precision with which patient outcome prediction (prognoses) can be rendered. We developed and applied interpretable machine learning methods to TBI patient data. We show that complex data describing TBI patients’ intake characteristics and outcome phenotypes can be distilled to smaller sets of clinically interpretable latent factors. We demonstrate that 19 clusters ofTBI outcomes can be predicted from intake data, a ~ 6× improvement in precision over clinical standards. Finally, we show that 36% of the outcome variance across patients can be predicted. These results demonstrate the importance of interpretable machine learning applied to deeply characterized patients for data‑driven distillation and precision prognosis.  \nThe collection of ever larger and more detailed biomedical datasets brings with it the promise of personalized treatments and interventions for a diversity of diseases and disorders1. Extraction of clinically interpretable insights from such large, complex datasets is challenging and creates an impediment to better understanding and hence treatment. Current medical frameworks typically group patients with a given condition into a small number of classes, obfuscating the individual nature of their biology and ailments2. A critical first step towards personalized treatments is to increase the precision with which we describe the patient and their outcomes, and predict those outcomes from socioeconomic, demographic, biomarker, and medical variables from initial clinical presentation, that we refer to as “intake” data2,3. Here, we addressed this gap by developing and applying interpretable machine learning techniques for data distillation and precision prognoses in the context of traumatic brain injury (TBI) .  \nTraumatic brain injury is damage to the brain resulting from any external force or object. According to 2020 estimates, 2.8 million people sustain a TBI annually in the United States (US), of which 64,000 die, 223,000 are hospitalized, and 2.5 million (~ 90%) are treated and released from an emergency department4. TBI is a contributing factor to one-third of all injury-related deaths in the US and has complex relationships with polytrauma5. Direct medical costs and indirect costs ofTBI, such as lost productivity, cost the world economy ~ $400 billion  \n1Applied Math and Computational Research Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA. 2Brain and S","cbCaihQB02Qgrw44","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihQB02Qgrw44","pdf",5755395,1,17,"English","en",105,"# Background and problem statement\n## Challenges in TBI prognostics\n# Methods: interpretable machine learning for distillation\n## Intake data and latent factors\n# Results: precision and predictive performance\n## Cluster prediction and variance explained\n# Context: TRACK-TBI pilot study\n## Multimodal data collection and outcome phenotyping","[{\"question\":\"Why is personalized prognosis in traumatic brain injury difficult?\",\"answer\":\"TBI outcomes span multiple domains and are hard to predict.
