Extracting a stroke phenotype risk factor from Veteran Health Administration clinical reports: an information content analysis.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: In the United States, 795,000 people suffer strokes each year; 10-15 % of these strokes can be attributed to stenosis caused by plaque in the carotid artery, a major stroke phenotype risk factor. Studies comparing treatments for the manag...

Defining Disease Phenotypes in Primary Care Electronic Health Records by a Machine Learning Approach: A Case Study in Identifying Rheumatoid Arthritis.

PloS one
OBJECTIVES: 1) To use data-driven method to examine clinical codes (risk factors) of a medical condition in primary care electronic health records (EHRs) that can accurately predict a diagnosis of the condition in secondary care EHRs. 2) To develop a...

Detecting borderline infection in an automated monitoring system for healthcare-associated infection using fuzzy logic.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
BACKGROUND: Many electronic infection detection systems employ dichotomous classification methods, classifying patient data as pathological or normal with respect to one or several types of infection. An electronic monitoring and surveillance system ...

A Natural Language Processing Tool for Large-Scale Data Extraction from Echocardiography Reports.

PloS one
Large volumes of data are continuously generated from clinical notes and diagnostic studies catalogued in electronic health records (EHRs). Echocardiography is one of the most commonly ordered diagnostic tests in cardiology. This study sought to expl...

Electronic medical record phenotyping using the anchor and learn framework.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
BACKGROUND: Electronic medical records (EMRs) hold a tremendous amount of information about patients that is relevant to determining the optimal approach to patient care. As medicine becomes increasingly precise, a patient's electronic medical record...

Building a Natural Language Processing Tool to Identify Patients With High Clinical Suspicion for Kawasaki Disease from Emergency Department Notes.

Academic emergency medicine : official journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine
OBJECTIVE: Delayed diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) may lead to serious cardiac complications. We sought to create and test the performance of a natural language processing (NLP) tool, the KD-NLP, in the identification of emergency department (ED) ...

Developing a web-based SKOS editor.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: The Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) was introduced to the wider research community by a 2005 World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) working draft, and further developed and refined in a 2009 W3C recommendation. Since then, SKOS has b...

Utilizing uncoded consultation notes from electronic medical records for predictive modeling of colorectal cancer.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: Machine learning techniques can be used to extract predictive models for diseases from electronic medical records (EMRs). However, the nature of EMRs makes it difficult to apply off-the-shelf machine learning techniques while still exploit...

An automated knowledge-based textual summarization system for longitudinal, multivariate clinical data.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVES: Design and implement an intelligent free-text summarization system: The system's input includes large numbers of longitudinal, multivariate, numeric and symbolic clinical raw data, collected over varying periods of time, and in different ...
