Abstract:

With the increase in the number of the international classification of diseases (ICD) codes,the difficulty and cost of manual coding based on clinical records have greatly increased,and automatic ICD coding technology has attracted widespread attention.A multi-scale residual graph convolution network automatic ICD coding technology was proposed.This technology uses a multi-scale residual network to capture text patterns of different lengths of clinical text and extracts the hierarchical relationship between labels based on the graph convolutional neural network to enhance the ability of automatic coding.The experimental results on the real medical data set MIMIC-III show that the P@k and Micro-F1 of this method are 72.2% and 53.9%,respectively,which significantly improves the prediction performance.

Key words: ICD coding, multi-scale, residual network, graph convolutional network
