With the advance of medical science, people have gradually become aware of the importance of pain management because pain can negatively affect quality of health care and even do more harm than an illness itself when it becomes intolerable.
According to the studies, PCA patient-controlled analgesia is one of the most effective techniques for postoperative analgesia [ 1 , 2 ]. Despite the fact that IV-PCA Intravenous PCA has been widely used in hospitals for its effectiveness and safety as acute postoperative pain management, PCA also usually entails PONV post-operative nausea and vomiting that complicates recovery from surgery and decreases patient satisfaction [ 3 , 4 ].
Most previous studies of PONV were focused on identifying the risk factors, using regression techniques or proposing probabilistic models [ 7 - 10 ]. A recent work that applied an artificial neural network to predict postoperative vomiting has been proposed [ 11 ].
In this study, we investigated patient PCA demand behaviors, and derived demand pattern attributes by clustering demand profiles for PONV prediction. In addition, we proposed to use a neighborhood-based data cleaning technique to clarify class boundary.
Lastly, we conducted a comparison of various machine learning classifiers to identify the best feature set and classifiers for PONV prediction. After excluding incomplete IV-PCA log files and patient records with missing values, we obtained patient records.
Each subject is represented by totally 28 basic attributes divided into 5 categories: In addition to commonly studied demographic and physiological factors relevant to analgesic consumption, IV-PCA related attributes, such as the number of demands per hour, have been shown to correlate significantly with analgesic consumption prediction [ 11 , 12 ].
These findings suggest that these demand behavior-related attributes are likely to correlate with incidences of postoperative nausea and vomiting. To generate behavior pattern attributes for PONV prediction, we considered two types of pattern attributes based on time domain and frequency domain, respectively.
For time-based behavior pattern attributes, we first characterize different IV-PCA demand behaviors in the course of time. Four different time units were used in this study: From a time-based behavior pattern we can observe the change in the number of PCA demands and the amount of analgesic consumption; however, we cannot distinguish the distributions of PCA demands in different frequencies. Therefore, we also applied Fourier transform to time-based profiles to obtain a frequency-based profile.
After the process of various IV-PCA profiles, we applied k-medoid clustering to these profiles to identify significant demand patterns among the study patients. Figure 3 shows the four patterns identified in the timebased IV-PCA dose profiles of the patients in a 12 h time period [ 13 ].
The X-axis indicates the 12 h time line.
The Y-axis represents the PCA dose within a particular 20 min time unit. The demand profiles grouped into a cluster demonstrated similar demand behaviors, and the medoid of a cluster represented the behavior pattern for that cluster over time. By applying k-medoids to different IV-PCA demand profiles, we generated different demandpattern attributes.
We used 28 basic patient attributes, classified in 5 categories, to describe each study subject.
In addition, we derived a number of different PCA demand pattern attributes from various PCA demand profiles, based on different time units, different demand reference e. Though these attributes can characterize patient behaviors, they may also negatively interact with those 28 basic attributes.
To avoid negative interaction among the features, we selected important features according to their information gain and used only these selected features to represent each patient.
We show the feature selection process in Figure 4. From the point of machine learning, prediction of nausea and vomiting is a classification problem in an imbalanced class domain. Conventional machinelearning algorithms are typically biased toward the majority class, and produce poor predictive accuracy for the minority class.
In addition to unequal class distribution, instances sparsely scattered in the data space make the prediction of a minority class even more difficult. We applied a neighborhood-based data cleaning approach to remove spurious data points of the majority class. The rationale behind this process is that the nearest majority class neighbors of a minority class member are likely to mislead learning algorithms.
Without them, learning algorithms can more easily recognize the minority class boundary.
