Syntactic parsing of clinical text: guideline and corpus development with handling ill-formed sentences.

CONCLUSIONS: We developed guidelines for parsing clinical text and annotated a corpus accordingly. The high intra- and inter-annotator agreement rates showed decent consistency in following the guidelines. The corpus was shown to be useful in retraining a statistical parser that achieved moderate accuracy.
