METHODS: In this study, we propose a multi-class drug combination risk prediction model named AERGCN-DDI, utilizing a relational graph convolutional network with a multi-head attention mechanism. Drug-drug interaction events with varying risk levels are modeled as a heterogeneous information graph. Attribute features of drug nodes and links are learned based on compound chemical structure information. Finally, the AERGCN-DDI model is proposed to predict drug combination risk level based on heterogenous graph neural network and multi-head attention modules.
RESULTS: To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, five-fold cross-validation and ablation study were conducted. Furthermore, we compared its predictive performance with baseline models and other state-of-the-art methods on two benchmark datasets. Empirical studies demonstrated the superior performances of AERGCN-DDI.
CONCLUSIONS: AERGCN-DDI emerges as a valuable tool for predicting the risk levels of drug combinations, thereby aiding in clinical medication decision-making, mitigating severe drug side effects, and enhancing patient clinical prognosis.
