Real world evidence (RWE) offers an opportunity to conduct timely, large, low-cost studies to answer important clinical questions that may not always be feasible to investigate using randomized controlled trials for practical, financial or ethical reasons. However, RWE research also faces several important challenges.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) presents a significant diagnostic challenge, necessitating clear and precise communication between radiologists and referring physicians to optimize patient outcomes. Variability in the language used to convey diagnostic uncertainty in computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) reports can exacerbate ambiguity, potentially leading to inappropriate clinical management and compromised patient care.

This webinar provides an opportunity to hear from the editors at Nature portfolio journal (npj) Digital Medicine and Health Systems to understand their journals’ scopes specifically with respect to NLP research. Audience will have an opportunity to ask questions. Presenters

Human language is complex and often equivocal. Unsurprisingly, even the most sophisticated natural language processing (NLP) algorithms inevitably make mistakes. The impact of these mistakes on the results of clinical research that uses NLP-generated data as one of the inputs is uncertain. In this talk, Alexander Turchin will discuss a recent study that has demonstrated that real world evidence analyses are resilient to a moderate error rate in NLP-generated data, supporting the use of NLP in clinical research.
