AI总结:

本文研究推理大语言模型在临床文档分类中的性能,发现其在准确率上优于非推理模型,但一致性较低,建议采用混合方法提升临床编码效率。

摘要:

临床文档分类对于将非结构化医疗文本转换为标准化的ICD-10诊断至关重要,但面临着复杂医疗语言、隐私限制和标注数据有限等挑战。大型语言模型(LLMs)在该任务中提供了准确性和效率的提升。本研究评估了八种LLMs的性能和一致性:四种推理模型(Qwen QWQ、Deepseek Reasoner、GPT o3 Mini、Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking)和四种非推理模型(Llama 3.3、GPT 4o Mini、Gemini 2.0 Flash、Deepseek Chat)在使用MIMIC-IV数据集对临床出院摘要进行分类的表现。使用cTAKES对临床叙述进行结构化处理,模型在三次实验运行中被评估,多数投票决定最终预测。结果显示,推理模型在准确率(71% vs 68%)和F1分数(67% vs 60%)上优于非推理模型,Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking在准确率(75%)和F1分数(76%)上达到最高水平。然而,非推理模型在一致性(91% vs 84%)上表现更稳定。性能在ICD-10代码上有所不同,推理模型在复杂案例中表现优异,但在抽象类别中表现不佳。研究发现,准确率和一致性之间存在权衡,表明混合方法可以优化临床编码。未来研究应探索多标签分类、领域特定微调和集成方法,以提高模型在实际应用中的可靠性。

英文摘要:

Clinical document classification is essential for converting unstructured medical texts into standardised ICD-10 diagnoses, yet it faces challenges due to complex medical language, privacy constraints, and limited annotated datasets. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer promising improvements in accuracy and efficiency for this task. This study evaluates the performance and consistency of eight LLMs; four reasoning (Qwen QWQ, Deepseek Reasoner, GPT o3 Mini, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking) and four non-reasoning (Llama 3.3, GPT 4o Mini, Gemini 2.0 Flash, Deepseek Chat); in classifying clinical discharge summaries using the MIMIC-IV dataset. Using cTAKES to structure clinical narratives, models were assessed across three experimental runs, with majority voting determining final predictions. Results showed that reasoning models outperformed non-reasoning models in accuracy (71% vs 68%) and F1 score (67% vs 60%), with Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking achieving the highest accuracy (75%) and F1 score (76%). However, non-reasoning models demonstrated greater stability (91% vs 84% consistency). Performance varied across ICD-10 codes, with reasoning models excelling in complex cases but struggling with abstract categories. Findings indicate a trade-off between accuracy and consistency, suggesting that a hybrid approach could optimise clinical coding. Future research should explore multi-label classification, domain-specific fine-tuning, and ensemble methods to enhance model reliability in real-world applications.
