| description | Deep phenotyping describes the use of standardised terminologies to create comprehensive phenotypic descriptions of biomedical phenomena. These characterisations facilitate secondary analysis, evidence synthesis, and practitioner awareness, thereby guiding patient care. The vast majority of this knowledge is derived from sources that describe an academic understanding of disease, including academic literature and experimental databases. Previous work indicates a gulf between the priorities, perspectives, and perceptions held by different healthcare stakeholders. Using social media data, we develop a phenotype model that represents a public perspective on disease and compare this with a model derived from a combination of existing academic phenotype databases. We identified 52,198 positive disease-phenotype associations from social media across 311 diseases. We further identified 24,618 novel phenotype associations not shared by the biomedical and literature-derived phenotype model across 304 diseases, of which we considered 14,531 significant. Manifestations of disease affecting quality of life, and concerning endocrine, digestive, and reproductive diseases were over-represented in the social media phenotype model. An expert clinical review found that social media-derived associations were considered similarly well-established to those derived from literature, and were seen significantly more in patient clinical encounters. The phenotype model recovered from social media presents a significantly different perspective than existing resources derived from biomedical databases and literature, providing a large number of associations novel to the latter dataset. We propose that the integration and interrogation of these public perspectives on the disease can inform clinical awareness, improve secondary analysis, and bridge understanding and priorities across healthcare stakeholders. |
