Description
Summary:Using guideline-based clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) has improved clinical practice, especially during multidisciplinary tumour boards (MTBs) in cancer patient management. However, MTBs have been reported to be overcrowded, with limited time to discuss all cases. Complex breast cancer cases that need further MTB discussions should have priority in the organization of MTBs. In order to optimize MTB workflow, we attempted to predict complex cases defined as non-compliant cases despite the use of the decision support system OncoDoc. After previously obtaining insufficient performance with machine learning algorithms, we tested Multi Layer Perceptron for classification, compared various samplers to compensate data imbalance combined with crossvalidation, and optimized all models with hyperparameter tuning and feature selection with no improvement and lacklustre results (F1-score: 31.4%).
