Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes is frequently used to identify pulmonary embolism (PE) events, although the validity of ICD-10 has been questioned. Natural language processing (NLP) is a novel tool that may be useful for pulmonary embolism identification.
