Annotated language resources derived from clinical routine documentation form an intriguing asset for secondary use case scenarios. In this investigation, we report on how such a resource can be leveraged to identify additional term candidates for a ...
BACKGROUND: The medical coding of radiology reports is essential for a good quality of care and correct billing, but at the same time a complex and error-prone task.
INTRODUCTION: The Danish Health Care Registers rely on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD)-classification and stand as a widely utilized resource for health epidemiological research. Eating disor...
BACKGROUND: International Classification of Diseases codes are widely used to describe diagnosis information, but manual coding relies heavily on human interpretation, which can be expensive, time consuming, and prone to errors. With the transition f...
BACKGROUND: Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in various professional fields, including medicine and law. However, their performance in highly specialized tasks, such as extracting ICD-10-CM codes from patient notes, remains underexplo...
BACKGROUND: Predicting in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is crucial for potentially reducing mortality and improving patient outcomes. However, most models, which rely solely on vital signs, may not comprehensively capture the patients' risk profiles...
Medical coding involves assigning codes to clinical free-text documents, specifically medical records that average over 3,000 markers, in order to track patient diagnoses and treatments. This is typically accomplished through manual assignments by he...
