Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical bioinformatics data processing technology, and in particular to a time-aligned auxiliary analysis system and method for microbial infection. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the field of microbial testing and clinical infection diagnosis, there is a common problem of separation between laboratory data and clinical diagnosis and treatment data.

[0003] Existing healthcare information systems typically operate microbiology testing (LIS) and clinical electronic medical records (HIS) as independent modules. When the LIS system detects pathogens (such as a positive blood culture), it can only push a static test report (containing the name and morphology of the bacterial species) to the doctor's end. After receiving the report, the doctor needs to manually switch to the HIS system, manually query and review the patient's temperature records, blood routine trends, imaging reports, and historical antibiotic prescriptions scattered across different time points, and then rely on personal experience to piece together this information to determine the infection status.

[0004] The existing technology has the following drawbacks and shortcomings: First, there is a lack of ability to correlate heterogeneous data over time: existing technologies cannot automatically align the key event of "positive microbial test" with the patient's "peak body temperature", "drug administration time" and "changes in inflammatory indicators" on the timeline. The data is presented in isolated tables, making it difficult for doctors to intuitively judge the temporal causal relationship between the disease progression and drug intervention.

[0005] Second, the lack of contextual information makes it difficult to make judgments: existing LIS reports lack clinical context and cannot automatically filter out interference from non-infectious factors (such as non-infectious fever), which can easily lead to misidentification of colonizing bacteria and pathogenic bacteria.

[0006] Third, there is a lack of quantitative decision support tools: In the empirical treatment phase before the results of drug sensitivity tests are issued, the existing system cannot calculate the antibiotic matching degree based on the hospital's historical epidemiological data and the patient's current status, and relies solely on the doctor's personal experience, lacking objective quantitative scoring support.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method in the relevant technologies that can solve the problem of insufficient auxiliary diagnostic evidence caused by the lack of temporal correlation between microbial test data and clinical diagnosis and treatment data in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a time-aligned auxiliary analysis system and method for microbial infection to address the aforementioned technical problems.

[0009] In a first aspect, this application provides a time-series aligned microbial infection auxiliary analysis system, including a data monitoring and triggering module, a multimodal time-series data alignment module, an intermediate-layer semantic conversion module, and a large-model inference and scoring module. The system connects to a laboratory information system and a hospital information system via data interfaces, wherein: The data monitoring and triggering module is used to monitor microbial test data and generate infection triggering events, and to determine the baseline time point and dynamic data acquisition window; The multimodal time series data alignment module is used to construct a unified time axis and map heterogeneous data to fixed-granularity time slices to complete time series alignment. The intermediate semantic transformation module is used to transform the aligned data into a unified semantic vector to generate structured infection data; The large-scale model inference scoring module is used to combine an epidemiological knowledge base to complete the quantification scoring of antibiotic matching.

[0010] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the data monitoring and triggering module adaptively adjusts the range of the data acquisition window based on the changing trend of inflammatory indicators.

[0011] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the multimodal time series data alignment module extracts feature values ​​from high-frequency data, uses forward hold-and-fill for low-frequency data, and marks medical order data as a persistent state interval.

[0012] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the intermediate layer semantic conversion module converts numerical time-series data into clinical trend semantic labels, extracts pathological feature entities from the text data, and anchors them to the time axis.

[0013] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the large model reasoning scoring module uses a retrieval enhancement generation mechanism to call the epidemiological knowledge base and calculates the matching score by combining the antibacterial spectrum coverage, the slope of improvement of clinical indicators and epidemiological probability.

[0014] Secondly, this application also provides a time-aligned auxiliary analysis method for microbial infection. The method includes: Monitoring microbiological test data generates infection-triggered events, determines baseline time points and dynamic data acquisition windows, and collects heterogeneous data from laboratory information systems and hospital information systems; Constructing a unified timeline maps heterogeneous data to fixed-granularity time slices to achieve time-series alignment. The aligned data is transformed into a unified semantic vector to generate structured infection data; The antibiotic matching quantification score is completed by combining the epidemiological knowledge base, and the auxiliary diagnostic results are output after review.

[0015] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, during the time alignment process, feature values ​​are extracted from high-frequency data, forward hold-and-fill is used for low-frequency data, and medical order data is marked as a persistent state interval.

[0016] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, during the semantic transformation process, numerical time-series data is converted into clinical trend semantic labels, and pathological feature entities of text data are extracted and anchored to the time axis.

[0017] Thirdly, this application also provides a computer device. The computer device includes a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program, and the processor executing the steps of the methods described in the various embodiments above.

[0018] Fourthly, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium. The computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the methods described in the various embodiments above.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the above-mentioned time-aligned microbial infection auxiliary analysis system and method have the following advantages: First, it enables the spatiotemporal logical reconstruction of heterogeneous medical data, improving the accuracy of assisted diagnosis. Through multimodal temporal alignment technology, microbial results are correlated with body temperature, inflammatory markers, and imaging features on the same timeline, automatically identifying the causal relationship between bacterial detection and clinical symptoms, reducing misdiagnosis rates, and avoiding antibiotic overuse.

[0020] Second, an event-driven dynamic data acquisition mechanism is established to address the timeliness and completeness issues of static queries. An infection event time window slicing algorithm is adopted, adaptively scaling the acquisition window based on pathogen characteristics and inflammatory indicator trends to fully cover the entire infection cycle and provide a complete chain of diagnostic evidence.

[0021] Third, it provides quantifiable antibiotic matching evaluation criteria, filling the gap in empirical treatment decision-making tools. By combining large-scale model reasoning with a local epidemiological knowledge base, it outputs objective quantitative scores, providing a standardized basis for adjusting antibiotic regimens and shortening the time to effective treatment initiation.

Figure 3 This is an internal structural diagram of a computer device in one embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a time-series aligned microbial infection auxiliary analysis system is provided, including a data monitoring and triggering module, a multimodal time-series data alignment module, an intermediate layer semantic conversion module, and a large model inference and scoring module. The system connects to a Laboratory Information System (LIS) and a Hospital Information System (HIS) via data interfaces, wherein: The data monitoring and triggering module is used to monitor microbial test data and generate infection triggering events, and to determine the baseline time point and dynamic data acquisition window; The multimodal time series data alignment module is used to construct a unified time axis and map heterogeneous data to fixed-granularity time slices to complete time series alignment. The intermediate semantic transformation module is used to transform the aligned data into a unified semantic vector to generate structured infection data; The large-scale model inference scoring module is used to combine an epidemiological knowledge base to complete the quantification scoring of antibiotic matching.

[0025] Each module executes a time-aligned auxiliary analysis method for microbial infection, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps include: S201: Monitor microbiological test data to generate infection triggering events, determine the baseline time point and dynamic data acquisition window, and collect heterogeneous data from the laboratory information system and the hospital information system.

[0026] In this embodiment, the system first deploys a daemon-style real-time listener on the LIS database interface to continuously scan the microbial testing status field; when a positive sample culture or smear result is detected, an infection trigger event is generated, the positive report timestamp is locked as the baseline time point T0, and the patient's unique identifier is extracted.

[0027] Afterwards, the system initializes the baseline window to 72 hours before T0 and 12 hours after T0, and scans the trend of inflammatory indicators such as CRP and PCT within the window. If the indicators show an upward slope, the window is backtracked to the inflection point to complete the adaptive correction of the acquisition window.

[0028] Finally, multimodal data is captured in parallel through the HIS interface: high-frequency body temperature time series data, medium and low frequency blood routine / CRP / PCT test data, antibiotic prescriptions and imaging report text data, and temporarily stored in the memory buffer.

[0029] S202: Construct a unified timeline to map heterogeneous data to fixed-granularity time slices to complete time alignment.

[0030] In this embodiment, an absolute time axis is constructed with T0 as the origin, and the dynamic window is divided into time slices with fixed granularity (4 hours). The data is traversed and mapped to the corresponding time slices according to the timestamp: the maximum value within the time slice of high-frequency body temperature data is extracted as the feature value; the forward hold-fill strategy is adopted for low-frequency test data to ensure data continuity; antibiotic orders are marked as a continuous state interval, covering the start and end time of the order.

[0031] S203: Transform the aligned data into a unified semantic vector to generate structured infection data.

[0032] In this embodiment, the intermediate layer semantic conversion module is activated to convert numerical data into clinical trend semantic labels (such as "persistent high fever"), extract pathological feature entities from imaging reports and anchor them to the time axis, and generate a structured infection panoramic data package containing time, physiological state and intervention measures.

[0033] S204: Combine the epidemiological knowledge base to complete the antibiotic matching quantification score, and output the auxiliary diagnostic results after review.

[0034] In this embodiment, structured data packets are input into the medical big language model inference engine and transformed into a model-understandable context through prompt word engineering; the RAG mechanism is used to call the hospital's epidemiological knowledge base to obtain historical bacterial resistance rates and antibiotic sensitivity data.

[0035] The inference engine performs multi-dimensional analysis: determining whether empirical medication covers the pathogen, analyzing the clinical indicator response after medication, and assessing the possibility of drug resistance; combining the antibacterial spectrum coverage, the slope of clinical indicator improvement, and epidemiological probability, it calculates an antibiotic-pathogen matching score of 0-100.

[0036] The system generates a draft auxiliary diagnostic report based on the reasoning suggestions and matching scores, and pushes it to the terminal of the microbiology laboratory group leader / reviewing physician. The reviewing physician can accept, modify or reject the draft. After review and approval, the system pushes the official report to the clinical HIS workstation and mobile terminal, completing the diagnostic loop.
