Combining deep neural networks, a rule-based expert system and targeted manual coding for ICD-10 coding causes of death of French death certificates from 2018 to 2019.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVE: For ICD-10 coding causes of death in France in 2018 and 2019, predictions by deep neural networks (DNNs) are employed in addition to fully automatic batch coding by a rule-based expert system and to interactive coding by the coding team fo...

Automatic classification of free-text medical causes from death certificates for reactive mortality surveillance in France.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Mortality surveillance is of fundamental importance to public health surveillance. The real-time recording of death certificates, thanks to Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS), provides valuable data for reactive mortality surveil...

Extracting cancer mortality statistics from death certificates: A hybrid machine learning and rule-based approach for common and rare cancers.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: Death certificates are an invaluable source of cancer mortality statistics. However, this value can only be realised if accurate, quantitative data can be extracted from certificates-an aim hampered by both the volume and variable quality ...

Deep neural models for ICD-10 coding of death certificates and autopsy reports in free-text.

Journal of biomedical informatics
We address the assignment of ICD-10 codes for causes of death by analyzing free-text descriptions in death certificates, together with the associated autopsy reports and clinical bulletins, from the Portuguese Ministry of Health. We leverage a deep n...

Automatic ICD-10 classification of cancers from free-text death certificates.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Death certificates provide an invaluable source for cancer mortality statistics; however, this value can only be realised if accurate, quantitative data can be extracted from certificates--an aim hampered by both the volume and variable na...

Automatic classification of diseases from free-text death certificates for real-time surveillance.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Death certificates provide an invaluable source for mortality statistics which can be used for surveillance and early warnings of increases in disease activity and to support the development and monitoring of prevention or response strate...

Recovering missing electronic health record mortality data with a machine learning-enhanced data linkage process.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: To develop a continual process for linking more comprehensive external mortality data to electronic health records (EHRs) for a large healthcare system, which can serve as a template for other healthcare systems.

Few-Shot Learning of Medical Coding Systems: A Case Study on Death Certificates with BERT and Mistral.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Identifying the Underlying Cause of Death accurately is crucial for effective healthcare policy and planning. The World Health Organization recommends using the ICD-10 system to standardize death certificate coding, a task often supported by semi-aut...

A New Approach to Compare the Performance of Two Classification Methods of Causes of Death for Timely Surveillance in France.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Timely mortality surveillance in France is based on the monitoring of electronic death certificates to provide information to health authorities. This study aims to analyze the performance of a rule-based and a supervised machine learning method to c...
