Background: The use of Electronic Health Records is the most important milestone in the digitization and intelligence of the entire medical industry. AI can effectively mine the immense medical information contained in EHRs, potentially assist doctors in reducing many medical errors.

Objective: This article aims to summarize the research status and trends in using AI to mine medical information from EHRs for the past thirteen years and investigate its information application.

Methods: A systematic search was carried out in 5 databases, including Web of Science Core Collection and PubMed, to identify research using AI to mine medical information from EHRs for the past thirteen years. Furthermore, bibliometric and content analysis were used to explore the research hotspots and trends, and systematically analyze the conversion rate of research resources in this field.

Results: A total of 631 articles were included and analyzed. The number of published articles has increased rapidly after 2017, with an average annual growth rate of 55.73%. The US (41.68%) and China (19.65%) publish the most articles, but there is a lack of international cooperation. The extraction of disease lesions is a hot topic at present, and the research topic is gradually shifting from disease risk grading to disease risk prediction. Classification (66%), and regress (15%) are the main implemented AI tasks. For AI algorithms, deep learning (31.70%), decision tree algorithms family (26.47%), and regression algorithms family (17.43%) are used most frequently. The funding rate for publications is 69.26%, and the input-output conversion rate is 21.05%.

Conclusions: Over the past decade, the use of AI to mine medical information from EHRs has been developing rapidly. However, it is necessary to strengthen international cooperation, improve EHRs data availability, focus on interpretable AI algorithms, and improve the resource conversion rate in future research.

Background: Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1DM) is a severe subtype of type 1 diabetes characterized by rapid onset, metabolic disturbances, and irreversible insulin secretion failure. Recent studies have suggested associations between FT1DM and certain medications, warranting further investigation.

Objectives: This study aims to analyze drugs associated with an increased risk of FT1DM using the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.

: Tumor organoid and tumor-on-chip (ToC) platforms replicate aspects of the anatomical and physiological states of tumors. They, therefore, serve as models for investigating tumor microenvironments, metastasis, and immune interactions, especially for precision drug testing. To map the changing research diversity and focus in this field, we performed a quality-controlled text analysis of categorized academic publications and clinical studies.

: The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide, particularly in the Pacific Ocean island nations. Although machine learning (ML) models and data mining approaches have been applied to diabetes research, there was no study utilizing ML models to predict diabetes incidence in Taiwan. We aimed to predict the onset of diabetes in order to raise health awareness, thereby promoting any necessary lifestyle modifications and help mitigate disease burden.

Australia's mine sites are largely situated in remote locations and operate around the clock. Many shift workers fly to site, where they work 12-hr shifts and sleep in camp accommodation before they return home for the period rostered off work. Mining shift workers experience poor sleep, yet limited research is available on contributing factors.
