This invention discloses a method for identifying
comorbidity relationships in
ophthalmology based on zero-
model correction and adaptive node selection, belonging to the fields of medical
big data processing, real-world
electronic medical record analysis,
disease comorbidity relationship mining, and graph
data mining. The method includes: acquiring
diagnostic data from
ophthalmology patients' electronic medical records and performing diagnostic cleaning, coding
standardization, and patient-level
disease set construction; constructing a patient-
disease bipartite graph based on the correspondence between patients and diseases, and statistically analyzing real disease co-occurrence relationships; while maintaining the distribution of the number of patients with diseases and the distribution of disease incidence frequency, randomly reconnecting the patient-disease
bipartite graph to generate multiple zero-model background networks, and calculating the
background correction advantage score of disease pairs relative to the random background; obtaining the initial association strength by combining the number of co-occurring individuals,
relative risk, lift, and significance test results of disease pairs; calculating the adaptive node selection threshold based on the incidence frequency of disease nodes, the number of candidate edges, the distribution of candidate edge weights, and the zero-model
advantage distribution; further calculating the importance
score of the two-end nodes and the
resampling stability
score of disease pairs, fusing them to obtain a comprehensive credibility score for disease pairs; selecting candidate
comorbidity relationships and classifying their credibility levels based on the comprehensive credibility score, and outputting the disease pairs, scoring results, credibility levels, and reasons for removal. This invention can reduce the
impact of high-frequency diseases, differences in the number of patient diagnoses, and random co-occurrence on the results of ophthalmic comorbidity identification, avoid the excessive background connections of high-frequency diseases and the accidental deletion of low-frequency specific relationships caused by traditional uniform thresholds, and improve the reliability, stability, and
interpretability of ophthalmic comorbidity identification.
