Most clinical texts including breast cancer patient summaries (BCPSs) are elaborated as narrative documents difficult to process by decision support systems. Annotators have been developed to extract the relevant content of such documents, e.g., MetaMap and cTAKES, that work with the English language and perform concept mapping using UMLS, SIFR and ECMT, that work for the French language and provide concepts using various terminologies. We compared the four annotators on a sample of 25 French BCPSs, pre-processed to manage acronyms and translated in English. We observed that MetaMap extracted the largest number of UMLS concepts (15,458), followed by SIFR (3,784), ECMT (1,962), and cTAKES (1,769). Each annotator extracted specific valuable information, not proposed by the other annotators. Considered as complementary, all annotators should be used in sequence to optimize the results.

Complementary and Integrative Health (CIH) has gained increasing popularity in the past decades. While the evidence bases to support them are growing, there is still a gap in understanding their effects and potential adverse events using real-world data. The overall goal of this study is to represent information pertinent to both psychological and physical CIH approaches (specifically, using examples of music therapy, chiropractic, and aquatic exercise in this study) in an electronic health record (EHR) system.

Complementary and Integrative Health (CIH) has gained increasing popularity in the past decades. The overall goal of this study is to represent information pertinent to music therapy, chiropractic and aquatic exercise in an EHR system. A total of 300 clinical notes were randomly selected and manually annotated.

Objective: The adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) has produced enormous amounts of data, creating research opportunities in clinical data sciences. Several concept recognition systems have been developed to facilitate clinical information extraction from these data. While studies exist that compare the performance of many concept recognition systems, they are typically developed internally and may be biased due to different internal implementations, parameters used, and limited number of systems included in the evaluations.

Clinical notes from electronic health records (EHRs) contain a large amount of clinical phenotype data on patients that can provide insights into the phenotypic presentation of various diseases. A number of Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms have been utilized in the past few years to annotate medical concepts, such as Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms, from clinical notes. However, efficient use of NLP algorithms requires the use of high-quality clinical notes with phenotype descriptions, and erroneous annotations often exist in results from these NLP algorithms.
