A Comparative Study of Feature Selection Methods for EHR Diagnosis Codes in Opioid Use Disorder Prediction

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2608. 04180v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Feature selection is a critical step in electronic health record (EHR)-based predictive modeling, where input variables are often high-dimensional, sparse, noisy, and redundant.

Patient-Reported Survey Data Improve Prediction of Opioid Use Disorder

The study examined whether adding patient‑reported survey data to electronic health records (EHRs) improves the prediction of a first opioid use disorder (OUD) diagnosis. Using 267,747 All of Us participants, the authors compared EHR‑only models to EHR+survey models across multiple machine‑learning algorithms and look‑back windows. Survey augmentation consistently increased predictive performance, with the best 24‑month LightGBM model’s PR‑AUC rising from 0.6219 to 0.6603, and survey features ranked as the second most important information domain.
