TRACE Organizes Daily Clinical Events into Trajectories for Inpatient Risk Prediction

Minjun Kim · hf · 2026-10-21

The paper proposes TRACE (TRAjectory modelling of multimodal Clinical Events) for inpatient risk prediction across mortality, length of stay, and readmission tasks.

Motivation: patient status evolves over time and is documented through heterogeneous, irregularly recorded events — labs, medications, imaging, notes — that do not form a complete or uniformly sampled multimodal record. Existing work focuses on modality fusion, admission-level relational structure, or missing-modality compensation, with limited attention to how evidence evolves temporally during admission.

TRACE organizes recorded clinical events into daily-scale global-local temporal trajectories to model evidence evolution, improving prediction on all three tasks.
