INTRODUCTION: The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is a primary data source for identifying unlabeled adverse events (AEs) in a drug or biologic drug product's postmarketing phase. Many AE reports must be reviewed by drug safety experts to ...
If Electronic Health Records contain a large amount of information about the patient's condition and response to treatment, which can potentially revolutionize the clinical practice, such information is seldom considered due to the complexity of its ...

BACKGROUND: We examined the comparative performance of structured, diagnostic codes vs. natural language processing (NLP) of unstructured text for screening suicidal behavior among pregnant women in electronic medical records (EMRs).
Data mapping plays an important role in data integration and exchanges among institutions and organizations with different data standards. However, traditional rule-based approaches and machine learning methods fail to achieve satisfactory results fo...

BACKGROUND: Pathology reports are written in free-text form, which precludes efficient data gathering. We aimed to overcome this limitation and design an automated system for extracting biomarker profiles from accumulated pathology reports.
As a significant determinant in the development of named entity recognition, phenotypic descriptions are normally presented differently in biomedical literature with the use of complicated semantics. In this paper, a novel approach has been proposed ...
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a replication study to validate previously identified significant risks and inefficiencies associated with the use of speech recognition (SR) for documentation within an electronic health record (EHR) system.
BACKGROUND: Identifying new potential treatment options for medical conditions that cause human disease burden is a central task of biomedical research. Since all candidate drugs cannot be tested with animal and clinical trials, in vitro approaches a...
OBJECTIVE: Death certificates are an invaluable source of cancer mortality statistics. However, this value can only be realised if accurate, quantitative data can be extracted from certificates-an aim hampered by both the volume and variable quality ...
