ChronoMedKG: Temporally-Grounded Biomedical Knowledge Graph and Benchmark for Clinical Reasoning

ChronoMedKG is a new biomedical knowledge graph containing 460,497 evidence-linked triples across 13,431 diseases, each annotated with temporal components such as onset window and progression stage. It is constructed via a multi-agent pipeline using multiple frontier LLMs extracting from PubMed/PMC, with multi-model consensus and credibility filtering. The accompanying ChronoTQA benchmark (3,341 questions) reveals frontier LLMs lose ~30 points on temporal vs. static clinical questions, while ChronoMedKG-based retrieval recovers 47–65% of long-tail failures compared to 17–29% for HPOA-RAG. The work addresses a significant gap in existing KGs (PrimeKG, Hetionet, iKraph) that treat disease associations as static facts.
