Knowledge-Based Query Construction Using the CDSS Knowledge Base for Efficient Evidence Retrieval.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Finding appropriate evidence to support clinical practices is always challenging, and the construction of a query to retrieve such evidence is a fundamental step. Typically, evidence is found using manual or semi-automatic methods, which are time-con...

ReCAP: Feasibility and Accuracy of Extracting Cancer Stage Information From Narrative Electronic Health Record Data.

Journal of oncology practice
PURPOSE: Cancer stage, one of the most important prognostic factors for cancer-specific survival, is often documented in narrative form in electronic health records (EHRs). Such documentation results in tedious and time-consuming abstraction efforts ...

CRFs based de-identification of medical records.

Journal of biomedical informatics
De-identification is a shared task of the 2014 i2b2/UTHealth challenge. The purpose of this task is to remove protected health information (PHI) from medical records. In this paper, we propose a novel de-identifier, WI-deId, based on conditional rand...

Mining heart disease risk factors in clinical text with named entity recognition and distributional semantic models.

Journal of biomedical informatics
We present the design, and analyze the performance of a multi-stage natural language processing system employing named entity recognition, Bayesian statistics, and rule logic to identify and characterize heart disease risk factor events in diabetic p...

MELLO: Medical lifelog ontology for data terms from self-tracking and lifelog devices.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVE: The increasing use of health self-tracking devices is making the integration of heterogeneous data and shared decision-making more challenging. Computational analysis of lifelog data has been hampered by the lack of semantic and syntactic ...

Risk factor detection for heart disease by applying text analytics in electronic medical records.

Journal of biomedical informatics
In the United States, about 600,000 people die of heart disease every year. The annual cost of care services, medications, and lost productivity reportedly exceeds 108.9 billion dollars. Effective disease risk assessment is critical to prevention, ca...

Active learning: a step towards automating medical concept extraction.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: This paper presents an automatic, active learning-based system for the extraction of medical concepts from clinical free-text reports. Specifically, (1) the contribution of active learning in reducing the annotation effort and (2) the robu...

A systematic comparison of feature space effects on disease classifier performance for phenotype identification of five diseases.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Automated phenotype identification plays a critical role in cohort selection and bioinformatics data mining. Natural Language Processing (NLP)-informed classification techniques can robustly identify phenotypes in unstructured medical notes. In this ...
