OBJECTIVES: Asthma is a heterogenous condition with significant diagnostic complexity, including variations in symptoms and temporal criteria. The disease can be difficult for clinicians to diagnose accurately. Properly identifying asthma patients fr...
OBJECTIVE: Investigation of asymptomatic carotid stenosis treatment is hindered by the lack of a contemporary population-based disease cohort. We describe the use of natural language processing (NLP) to identify stenosis in patients undergoing caroti...
INTRODUCTION: The 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes is frequently used to identify pulmonary embolism (PE) events, although the validity of ICD-10 has been questioned. Natural language processing (NLP) is a ...
Understanding patient accumulation of comorbidities can facilitate healthcare strategy and personalized preventative care. We applied a directed network graph to electronic health record (EHR) data and characterized comorbidities in a cohort of healt...
Exponential growth of biomedical literature and clinical data demands more robust yet precise computational methodologies to extract useful insights from biomedical literature and to perform accurate assignment of disease-specific codes. Such approac...
