Approaches are needed to better delineate the continuum of opioid misuse that occurs in hospitalized patients. A prognostic enrichment strategy with latent class analysis (LCA) may facilitate treatment strategies subtypes misuse. We aim identify patients and examine distinctions between by examining patient characteristics, topic models from clinical notes, outcomes.This was an observational study inpatient hospitalizations at a tertiary care center 2007 2017. Patients were identified using...
Abstract Background Automated de-identification methods for removing protected health information (PHI) from the source notes of electronic record (EHR) rely on building systems to recognize mentions PHI in text, but they remain inadequate at ensuring perfect removal. As an alternative relying systems, we propose following solutions: (1) Mapping corpus documents standardized medical vocabulary (concept unique identifier [CUI] codes mapped Unified Medical Language System) thus eliminating as...
