Abstract

PURPOSE: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) is a key clinical variable for cancer treatment and research, but it is usually only recorded in unstructured form in the electronic health record. We investigated whether natural language processing (NLP) models can impute ECOG PS using unstructured note text.
