Published: February 2007

The NLM's MMTx natural language processing (NLP) engine was used to extract concepts from chief complaints entered into an ambulatory electronic medical record (EMR). Of the over 600,000 strings submitted to the process, approximately 25% were assigned at least one concept, with a rate of 2% for incorrect assignments.

Background: Early detection and diagnosis of cancer are vital to improving outcomes for patients. Artificial intelligence (AI) models have shown promise in the early detection and diagnosis of cancer, but there is limited evidence on methods that fully exploit the longitudinal data stored within electronic health records (EHRs). This review aims to summarise methods currently utilised for prediction of cancer from longitudinal data and provides recommendations on how such models should be developed.
