Abstract
Prospective stroke risk stratification in primary care is challenging because early risk signals are distributed across routine biomarkers and unstructured clinical narratives. We propose MedGate-Fusion, a multi-modal gated architecture that integrates transformer-based embeddings of first-encounter narratives with ten routinely recorded risk markers. We used electronic medical record data from the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network (CPCSSN). Starting from 808,921 encounter-level observations, we constructed a first-encounter cohort and retained 102,736 unique patient records with non-empty narratives and sufficient data to evaluate a five-year stroke outcome. To reduce explicit target leakage from diagnostic mentions in notes, we applied dictionary-based redaction of stroke-related terms prior to semantic encoding.
