Interpretable deep learning to map diagnostic texts to ICD-10 codes.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Automatic extraction of morbid disease or conditions contained in Death Certificates is a critical process, useful for billing, epidemiological studies and comparison across countries. The fact that these clinical documents are written in...

ONCOhabitats: A system for glioblastoma heterogeneity assessment through MRI.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Neuroimaging analysis is currently crucial for an early assessment of glioblastoma, to help improving treatment and tumor follow-up. To this end, multiple functional and morphological MRI sequences are usually employed, requiring the deve...

Smoothing dense spaces for improved relation extraction between drugs and adverse reactions.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This work aims at extracting Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), i.e. a harm directly caused by a drug at normal doses, from Electronic Health Records (EHRs). The lack of readily available EHRs because of confidentiality issues a...

Automated extraction of sudden cardiac death risk factors in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients by natural language processing.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: The management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients requires the knowledge of risk factors associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD). SCD risk factors such as syncope and family history of SCD (FH-SCD) as well as family history ...

Identification and analysis of behavioral phenotypes in autism spectrum disorder via unsupervised machine learning.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous disorder. Research has explored potential ASD subgroups with preliminary evidence supporting the existence of behaviorally and genetically distinct subgroups; however, resear...

Predicting breast cancer metastasis by using serum biomarkers and clinicopathological data with machine learning technologies.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Approximately 10%-15% of patients with breast cancer die of cancer metastasis or recurrence, and early diagnosis of it can improve prognosis. Breast cancer outcomes may be prognosticated on the basis of surface markers of tumor cells and ...

A novel deep learning based automatic auscultatory method to measure blood pressure.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: It is clinically important to develop innovative techniques that can accurately measure blood pressures (BP) automatically.

The use of natural language processing to identify Tdap-related local reactions at five health care systems in the Vaccine Safety Datalink.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Local reactions are the most common vaccine-related adverse event. There is no specific diagnosis code for local reaction due to vaccination. Previous vaccine safety studies used non-specific diagnosis codes to identify potential local rea...

Smooth Bayesian network model for the prediction of future high-cost patients with COPD.

International journal of medical informatics
INTRODUCTION: The clinical course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is marked by acute exacerbation events that increase hospitalization rates and healthcare spending. The early identification of future high-cost patients with COPD may ...

BTS-DSN: Deeply supervised neural network with short connections for retinal vessel segmentation.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The condition of vessel of the human eye is an important factor for the diagnosis of ophthalmological diseases. Vessel segmentation in fundus images is a challenging task due to complex vessel structure, the presence of simi...
