Step-by-Step Guidance to Differential Anemia Diagnosis with Real-World Data and Deep Reinforcement Learning
Clinical diagnostic guidelines outline the key questions to answer to reach a diagnosis. Inspired by guidelines, we aim to develop a model that learns from electronic health records to determine the optimal sequence of actions for accurate diagnosis. Focusing on anemia and its sub-types, we employ deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms and evaluate their performance on both a synthetic dataset, which is based on expert-defined diagnostic pathways, and a real-world dataset. We investigate the performance of these algorithms across various scenarios. Our experimental results demonstrate that DRL algorithms perform competitively with state-of-the-art methods while offering the significant advantage of progressively generating pathways to the suggested diagnosis, providing a transparent decision-making process that can guide and explain diagnostic reasoning.
