PURPOSE: Entering all information from narrative documentation for clinical research into databases is time consuming, costly, and nearly impossible. Even high-volume databases do not cover all patient characteristics and drawn results may be limited...
PURPOSE: Clear and trustworthy information is essential for people who are ill. People with cancer, in particular, are targeted with vast quantities of patient education material, but of variable quality. Machine learning technologies are popular acr...
PURPOSE: Prognostic models for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), such as the International Prognostic Index (IPI) are widely used in clinical practice. The models are typically developed with simplicity in mind and thus do not exploit the full p...
PURPOSE: Patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) may require emergency department evaluation or hospitalization. Early identification may direct preventative supportive care, improving outcomes and reducing health care costs....
PURPOSE: With rapidly evolving treatment options in cancer, the complexity in the clinical decision-making process for oncologists represents a growing challenge magnified by oncologists' disposition of intuition-based assessment of treatment risks a...
PURPOSE: A major adverse effect arising from nimustine hydrochloride (ACNU) therapy for brain tumors is myelosuppression. Because its timing and severity vary among individual patients, the ACNU dose level has been adjusted in an empiric manner at in...
PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy and reliability of a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm with manual coding by radiologists, and the combination of the two methods, for the identification of patients whose computed tomography (CT) reports ra...
