FairGlucose: A CGM Fairness Benchmark Reveals Subgroup Disparities Hidden in Population-Level Validation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

FairGlucose is a 300‑patient CGM cohort balanced across 12 demographic strata, providing 132,480 forecasting samples and 3,945 behavioral events. Benchmarking 33 models on 2‑hour glucose forecasting revealed that population‑level validation masks significant subgroup disparities, with error ratios ranging from 0.8 to 1.4 and T1D patients experiencing 6 mg/dL higher error than T2D. The study shows that these gaps persist across all models, align with clinically hard cases, and vary with input‑length sensitivity, underscoring the need for subgroup‑disaggregated reporting in digital health AI.

Beyond Demographic Balance: Multi-Metric and Intersectional Evaluation of Fairness in MIMIC-IV Mortality Prediction

The paper examines how fairness conclusions in ICU mortality prediction using MIMIC-IV depend on the choice of metrics and the granularity of demographic analysis. It compares predictive-utility and subgroup-error metrics across various fairness interventions and introduces a lightweight adaptation strategy that balances ethnicity, gender, and insurance representation without conditioning on mortality outcomes. The study finds that different interventions can be evaluated differently across accuracy, sensitivity, and false-positive rate, and that marginal demographic summaries may hide heterogeneous error patterns within intersectional subgroups.

Improving Fairness of Large Language Model-Based ICU Mortality Prediction via Case-Based Prompting

The paper investigates demographic bias in large language model (LLM) predictions of ICU mortality and introduces Case-Based Prompting (CAP), a training‑free method that adds clinically similar historical cases as contextual evidence. CAP improves predictive performance on the MIMIC‑IV dataset, raising AUROC from 0.806 to 0.873 and AUPRC from 0.497 to 0.694, while reducing subgroup disparities for sex and White‑Black comparisons. The study also shows that simply removing demographic information does not uniformly enhance fairness or accuracy, and that feature‑dependence patterns remain consistent across groups.
