Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Our study aims to enhance epidemic intelligence through event-based surveillance in an emerging pandemic context. We classified electronic health records (EHRs) from La Rioja, Argentina, focusing on predicting COVID-19-related categories in a scenario with limited disease knowledge, evolving symptoms, non-standardized coding practices, and restricted training data due to privacy issues.
