Natural Language Processing of Radiology Reports to Detect Complications of Ischemic Stroke

ConclusionsOur study demonstrates robust performance and external validity of a core NLP tool kit for identifying both categorical and continuous outcomes of ischemic stroke from unstructured radiographic text data. Medically tailored NLP methods have multiple important big data applications, including scalable electronic phenotyping, augmentation of clinical risk prediction models, and facilitation of automatic alert systems in the hospital setting.
