Abstract
Determining the cause of death of hospitalized patients with cardiovascular disease is of the utmost importance. This is usually recorded in free text form. In this study we aimed to develop a series of supervised natural language processing algorithms to extract cardiovascular causes of hospitalization and final causes of death.
