BACKGROUND: Word embeddings have been prevalently used in biomedical Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications due to the ability of the vector representations being able to capture useful semantic properties and linguistic relationships between...
IMPORTANCE: Data from electronic health records (EHRs) are increasingly used for risk prediction. However, EHRs do not reliably collect sociodemographic and neighborhood information, which has been shown to be associated with health. The added contri...

Prognostic modelling is important in clinical practice and epidemiology for patient management and research. Electronic health records (EHR) provide large quantities of data for such models, but conventional epidemiological approaches require signifi...
We studied how lagged linear regression can be used to detect the physiologic effects of drugs from data in the electronic health record (EHR). We systematically examined the effect of methodological variations ((i) time series construction, (ii) tem...
OBJECTIVES: To review the latest scientific challenges organized in clinical Natural Language Processing (NLP) by highlighting the tasks, the most effective methodologies used, the data, and the sharing strategies.
OBJECTIVE: Instruments rating risk of harm to self and others are widely used in inpatient forensic psychiatry settings. A potential alternate or supplementary means of risk prediction is from the automated analysis of case notes in Electronic Health...
IMPORTANCE: Current methods for identifying hospitalized patients at increased risk of delirium require nurse-administered questionnaires with moderate accuracy.
