Personalized Dynamic Treatment Regimes in Continuous Time: A Bayesian Approach for Optimizing Clinical Decisions with Timing

Abstract: Accurate models of clinical actions and their impacts on disease progression are critical for estimating personalized optimal dynamic treatment regimes (DTRs) in medical/health research, especially in managing chronic conditions. Traditional statistical methods for DTRs usually focus on estimating the optimal treatment or dosage at each given medical intervention, but overlook the important question of "when this intervention should happen." We fill this gap by developing a two-step Bayesian approach to optimi… Show more

“…In our case, for example, the problem is somewhat simplified; we have discretized time, and we have not taken into account mortality and morbidity in the reward. This has allowed us to avoid methodology needed for survival analysis 71 and continuous time, 72 which could be the subject of future work. Note also that reward function learning is an active area of research 8,73 …”

“…[ 10 ] proposed a machine learning model based on the SOFA score for the prediction of mortality in critically ill patients. [ 38 ] developed a two-step Bayesian approach to optimize clinical decisions on timing, and the result shows that the proposed model are clinically useful to improve the survival of patients. The model of the research can be extended to other severity scoring systems, such as SOFA, GCS, and CT.…”

“…All technical proofs are provided in the Supplementary Material. In addition, in the Supplementary Material, we demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed methods by conducting a simulation study, in which we simulate a synthetic dataset that mimics a real-world electronic medical record dataset for kidney transplantation patients (Hua et al, 2021).…”

“…We demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed methods by conducting a simulation study, in which we simulate a synthetic dataset that mimics a real-world electronic medical record dataset for kidney transplantation patients (Hua et al, 2021). Kidney transplantation is the primary treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease (Arshad et al, 2019).…”
