Abstract

BACKGROUND: The Japanese Orthopaedic Association National Registry (JOANR) was recently launched in Japan and is expected to improve the quality of medical care. However, surgeons must register ten detailed features for total hip arthroplasty, which is labor intensive. One possible solution is to use a system that automatically extracts information about the surgeries. Although it is not easy to extract features from an operative record consisting of free-text data, natural language processing has been used to extract features from operative records. This study aimed to evaluate the best natural language processing method for building a system that automatically detects some elements in the JOANR from the operative records of total hip arthroplasty.
