Unstructured data, such as procedure notes, contain valuable medical information that is frequently underutilized due to the labor-intensive nature of data extraction. This study aims to develop a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) pipeline using an open-source Large Language Model (LLM) with built-in guardrails and a retry mechanism to extract data from unstructured right heart catheterization (RHC) notes while minimizing errors, including hallucinations.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a growing public health burden with persistent racial and ethnic disparities. . This study assessed the completeness of social determinants of health (SdoH) data for patients with T2D in Epic Cosmos, a nationwide, cross-institutional electronic health recors (EHR) database.

Assess time impact and provider perception of AI-generated encounter summaries.

Time spent in the electronic health record (EHR) is an important measure of clinical activity. Vendor-derived EHR use metrics may not correspond to actual EHR experience. Raw EHR audit logs enable customized EHR use metrics, but translating discrete timestamps to time intervals is challenging. There are insufficient data available to quantify inactivity between audit log timestamps.

Background Hypertension is a chronic condition defined by persistent high blood pressure (BP) that leads to significant health impacts. Evidence-based clinical guidelines provide recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension. These recommendations are frequently incorporated into clinical decision support (CDS) systems used by clinicians. CDS tools can also be oriented towards patients but careful attention to the development process will be required to make a useful, usable, and engaging [...]

Negative descriptors in electronic health records (EHR) contribute to worse health outcomes; studies show they are also more prevalent in EHRs of women and racial minorities and affect downstream research biases. Similar and unique patterns of negative descriptors may also exist in the records of blind patients, including those with diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is a preventable but leading cause of blindness in the US that is disproportionally high among [...]

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) sampled from different populations can introduce unwanted biases, limit individual-level data sharing, and make the data and fitted model hardly transferable across different population groups. In this context, our main goal is to design an effective method to transfer knowledge between population groups, with computable guarantees for suitability, and that can be applied to quantify treatment disparities.

Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but accurately predicting which patients will benefit from it remains a major clinical challenge. To address this, we aim to develop a novel multimodal method, DeepAFM, that integrates histopathology, genomic features, and clinical information to predict patient responses to anti-PD-(L)1 immunotherapy.

By October 1, 2024, over 450,000 COVID-19 manuscripts were published, with 10% posted as unreviewed preprints. While they accelerate knowledge sharing, their inconsistent quality complicates systematic studies.

To explore the performance of 4 large language model (LLM) chatbots for the analysis of 2 of the most commonly used tools for the advanced analysis of systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses.
