- The widespread use of information technology in healthcare leads to extensive data collection, which can be utilised to enhance patient care and manage chronic illnesses. Our objective is to summarise previous studies that have used data mining or process mining methods in the context of chronic diseases in order to identify research trends and future opportunities. The review covers articles that pertain to the application of data mining or process mining methods on chronic diseases that were published between 2000 and 2022. Articles were sourced from PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Google Scholar based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 71 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Based on the literature review results, we detected a growing trend in the application of data mining methods in diabetes research. Additionally, a distinct increase in the use of process mining methods to model clinical pathways in cancer research was observed. Frequently, this takes the form of a collaborative integration of process mining, data mining, and traditional statistical methods. In light of this collaborative approach, the meticulous selection of statistical methods based on their underlying assumptions is essential when integrating these traditional methods with process mining and data mining methods. Another notable challenge is the lack of standardised guidelines for reporting process mining studies in the medical field. Furthermore, there is a pressing need to enhance the clinical interpretation of data mining and process mining results.

- Previous studies have suggested an association between Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) and the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aims to assess the association between PPI use and CKD progression by analysing estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trajectories using a process mining approach. We conducted a retrospective cohort study from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2011, utilising data from the Stockholm Creatinine Measurements (SCREAM). New users of PPIs and H2 blockers (H2Bs) with CKD (eGFR < 60) were identified using a new-user and active-comparator design. Process mining discovery is a technique that discovers patterns and sequences in events over time, making it suitable for studying longitudinal eGFR trajectories. We used this technique to construct eGFR trajectory models for both PPI and H2B users. Our analysis indicated that PPI users exhibited more complex and rapidly declining eGFR trajectories compared to H2B users, with a 75% increased risk (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.75, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.49 to 2.06) of transitioning from moderate eGFR stage (G3) to more severe stages (G4 or G5). These findings suggest that PPI use is associated with an increased risk of CKD progression, demonstrating the utility of process mining for longitudinal analysis in epidemiology, leading to an improved understanding of disease progression.
