Enhancing Seasonal Influenza Surveillance: Topic Analysis of Widely Used Medicinal Drugs Using Twitter Data.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Uptake of medicinal drugs (preventive or treatment) is among the approaches used to control disease outbreaks, and therefore, it is of vital importance to be aware of the counts or frequencies of most commonly used drugs and trending topi...

The effects of natural language processing on cross-institutional portability of influenza case detection for disease surveillance.

Applied clinical informatics
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluates the accuracy and portability of a natural language processing (NLP) tool for extracting clinical findings of influenza from clinical notes across two large healthcare systems. Effectiveness is evaluated on how well NL...

Predicting Zoonotic Risk of Influenza A Viruses from Host Tropism Protein Signature Using Random Forest.

International journal of molecular sciences
Influenza A viruses remain a significant health problem, especially when a novel subtype emerges from the avian population to cause severe outbreaks in humans. Zoonotic viruses arise from the animal population as a result of mutations and reassortmen...

Applying GIS and Machine Learning Methods to Twitter Data for Multiscale Surveillance of Influenza.

PloS one
Traditional methods for monitoring influenza are haphazard and lack fine-grained details regarding the spatial and temporal dynamics of outbreaks. Twitter gives researchers and public health officials an opportunity to examine the spread of influenza...

Selenium supplementation has beneficial and detrimental effects on immunity to influenza vaccine in older adults.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Mortality resulting from influenza (flu) virus infections occurs primarily in the elderly through declining immunity. Studies in mice have suggested beneficial effects of selenium (Se) supplementation on immunity to flu but similar...

Clinical course of H1N1-vaccine-related narcolepsy.

Sleep medicine
OBJECTIVE: To follow and analyze the clinical course and quality of life of Pandemrix H1N1-vaccine-related narcolepsy (pNT1).

Combining Search, Social Media, and Traditional Data Sources to Improve Influenza Surveillance.

PLoS computational biology
We present a machine learning-based methodology capable of providing real-time ("nowcast") and forecast estimates of influenza activity in the US by leveraging data from multiple data sources including: Google searches, Twitter microblogs, nearly rea...

Identifying influenza-like illness presentation from unstructured general practice clinical narrative using a text classifier rule-based expert system versus a clinical expert.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: We designed and validated a rule-based expert system to identify influenza like illness (ILI) from routinely recorded general practice clinical narrative to aid a larger retrospective research study into the impact of the 2009 influenza p...

Comparison of machine learning classifiers for influenza detection from emergency department free-text reports.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Influenza is a yearly recurrent disease that has the potential to become a pandemic. An effective biosurveillance system is required for early detection of the disease. In our previous studies, we have shown that electronic Emergency Department (ED) ...
