A transformation-based method for auditing the IS-A hierarchy of biomedical terminologies in the Unified Medical Language System.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) integrates various source terminologies to support interoperability between biomedical information systems. In this article, we introduce a novel transformation-based auditing method that leverage...

Unified Medical Language System resources improve sieve-based generation and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT)-based ranking for concept normalization.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Concept normalization, the task of linking phrases in text to concepts in an ontology, is useful for many downstream tasks including relation extraction, information retrieval, etc. We present a generate-and-rank concept normalization syst...

Can Unified Medical Language System-based semantic representation improve automated identification of patient safety incident reports by type and severity?

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: The study sought to evaluate the feasibility of using Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) semantic features for automated identification of reports about patient safety incidents by type and severity.

Fold-stratified cross-validation for unbiased and privacy-preserving federated learning.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: We introduce fold-stratified cross-validation, a validation methodology that is compatible with privacy-preserving federated learning and that prevents data leakage caused by duplicates of electronic health records (EHRs).

sureLDA: A multidisease automated phenotyping method for the electronic health record.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: A major bottleneck hindering utilization of electronic health record data for translational research is the lack of precise phenotype labels. Chart review as well as rule-based and supervised phenotyping approaches require laborious expert...

Constructing co-occurrence network embeddings to assist association extraction for COVID-19 and other coronavirus infectious diseases.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) started its rapid emergence and gradually transformed into an unprecedented pandemic, the need for having a knowledge repository for the disease became crucial. To address this issue, a new COVID-19 m...

An artificial intelligence approach to COVID-19 infection risk assessment in virtual visits: A case report.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: In an effort to improve the efficiency of computer algorithms applied to screening for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing, we used natural language processing and artificial intelligence-based methods with unstructured patient dat...

Generating sequential electronic health records using dual adversarial autoencoder.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Recent studies on electronic health records (EHRs) started to learn deep generative models and synthesize a huge amount of realistic records, in order to address significant privacy issues surrounding the EHR. However, most of them only fo...

Risk prediction of delirium in hospitalized patients using machine learning: An implementation and prospective evaluation study.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Machine learning models trained on electronic health records have achieved high prognostic accuracy in test datasets, but little is known about their embedding into clinical workflows. We implemented a random forest-based algorithm to iden...

Predicting complications of diabetes mellitus using advanced machine learning algorithms.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: We sought to predict if patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) would develop 10 selected complications. Accurate prediction of complications could help with more targeted measures that would prevent or slow down their development.
