Rule-based Cervical Spine Defect Classification Using Medical Narratives.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Classifying the defects occurring at the cervical spine provides the basis for surgical treatment planning and therapy recommendation. This process requires evidence from patient records. Further, the degree of a defect needs to be encoded in a stand...

Follow-up Recommendation Detection on Radiology Reports with Incidental Pulmonary Nodules.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The management of follow-up recommendations is fundamental for the appropriate care of patients with incidental pulmonary findings. The lack of communication of these important findings can result in important actionable information being lost in hea...

Identification of Incidental Pulmonary Nodules in Free-text Radiology Reports: An Initial Investigation.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Advances in image quality produced by computed tomography (CT) and the growth in the number of image studies currently performed has made the management of incidental pulmonary nodules (IPNs) a challenging task. This research aims to identify IPNs in...

Thermal Signal Analysis for Breast Cancer Risk Verification.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world. Currently, there are no effective methods to prevent this disease. However, early diagnosis increases chances of remission. Breast thermography is an option to be considered in screening st...

A Multi-Relational Model for Depression Relapse in Patients with Bipolar Disorder.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a chronic and disabling disease that usually appears around 20 to 30 years old. Patients who suffer with BD may struggle for years to achieve a correct diagnosis, and only 50% of them generally receive adequate treatment. In ...

On the Automated Segmentation of Epicardial and Mediastinal Cardiac Adipose Tissues Using Classification Algorithms.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The quantification of fat depots on the surroundings of the heart is an accurate procedure for evaluating health risk factors correlated with several diseases. However, this type of evaluation is not widely employed in clinical practice due to the re...

Effects of Plasma Transfusion on Perioperative Bleeding Complications: A Machine Learning Approach.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Perioperative bleeding (PB) is associated with increased patient morbidity and mortality, and results in substantial health care resource utilization. To assess bleeding risk, a routine practice in most centers is to use indicators such as elevated v...

Automated Detection of Postoperative Surgical Site Infections Using Supervised Methods with Electronic Health Record Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) is widely recognized as "the best in the nation" surgical quality improvement resource in the United States. In particular, it rigorously defines postoperative morbidity outcomes, including su...

Automated Learning of Temporal Expressions.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Clinical notes contain important temporal information that are critical for making clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as for retrospective analyses. Manually created regular expressions are commonly used for the extraction of temporal informati...

Identifying Patients with Depression Using Free-text Clinical Documents.

Studies in health technology and informatics
About 1 in 10 adults are reported to exhibit clinical depression and the associated personal, societal, and economic costs are significant. In this study, we applied the MTERMS NLP system and machine learning classification algorithms to identify pat...
