Sequential model for predicting patient adherence in subcutaneous immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) is the long-lasting causal treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). How to enhance the adherence of patients to maximize the benefit of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) plays a crucial role in the management of AIT. This study aims to leverage novel machine learning models to precisely predict the risk of non-adherence of AR patients and related local symptom scores in 3 years SCIT.

Methods

The research develops and analyzes two models, sequential latent-variable model (SLVM) of Stochastic Latent Actor-Critic (SLAC) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). SLVM is a probabilistic model that captures the dynamics of patient adherence, while LSTM is a type of recurrent neural network designed to handle time-series data by maintaining long-term dep
