Research on adverse event classification algorithm of da Vinci surgical robot based on Bert-BiLSTM model

摘要

This study aims to enhance the classification accuracy of adverse events associated with the da Vinci surgical robot through advanced natural language processing techniques, thereby ensuring medical device safety and protecting patient health. Addressing the issues of incomplete and inconsistent adverse event records, we employed a deep learning model that combines BERT and BiLSTM to predict whether adverse event reports resulted in patient harm. We developed the Bert-BiLSTM-Att_dropout model specifically for text classification tasks with small datasets, optimizing the model's generalization ability and key information capture through the integration of dropout and attention mechanisms. Our model demonstrated exceptional performance on a dataset comprising 4,568 da Vinci surgical robot adverse event reports collected from 2013 to 2023, achieving an average F1 score of 90.15%, significantly surpassing baseline models such as GRU, LSTM, BiLSTM-Attention, and BERT. This achievement not only validates the model's effectiveness in text classification within this specific domain but also substantially improves the usability and accuracy of adverse event reporting, contributing to the prevention of medical incidents and reduction of patient harm. Furthermore, our research experimentally confirmed the model's performance, alleviating the data classification and analysis burden for healthcare professionals. Through comparative analysis, we highlighted the potential of combining BERT and BiLSTM in text classification tasks, particularly for small datasets in the medical field. Our findings advance the development of adverse event monitoring technologies for medical devices and provide critical insights for future research and enhancements.
