Sequence models reveal diagnosis accumulation pathways beyond comorbidity burden in population-scale hospital data

Katharina Ledebur, Mitja Devetak, Peter Klimek

Aging trajectories vary among individuals of similar age and disease burden. Comorbidity indices, e.g. the Elixhauser index, summarize conditions cross-sectionally, but discard the…
