How Data are Classified: Numerical Data00:59

How Data are Classified: Numerical Data

36.4K
Data that are countable or measurable in specific units are called numerical or quantitative data. Quantitative data are always numbers. Quantitative data are the result of counting or measuring the attributes of a population. Amount of money, pulse rate, weight, number of people living in a town, and number of students who opt for statistics are examples of quantitative data.
Quantitative data may be either discrete or continuous. All quantitative data that take on only specific numerical...

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data

42.3K
A variable, usually notated by capital letters such as X and Y, is a characteristic or measurement that can be determined for each member of a population. Data are the actual values of variables. They may be numbers, or they may be words. Datum is a single value.
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

38.3K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

17.8K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Classification of Neurotransmitters01:30

Classification of Neurotransmitters

4.9K
Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in the communication between neurons in the autonomic nervous system. Neurons in the autonomic nervous system can be cholinergic or adrenergic depending on the neurotransmitters synthesized. Cholinergic neurons use acetylcholine as their primary neurotransmitter. This includes all the preganglionic fibers of the sympathetic and pre- and postganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic nervous systems. In addition, neurons of the somatic nervous system also use...

Methods of Classification and Identification01:28

Methods of Classification and Identification

885
Bacterial identification relies on a diverse array of techniques to classify and understand microorganisms, each tailored to uncover specific characteristics. Traditional morphological approaches, while still valuable, are limited for closely related or structurally simple organisms. Modern methods integrate biochemical, serological, genetic, and advanced molecular tools to achieve greater accuracy.Morphological and Biochemical TechniquesMorphological characteristics, such as cell shape and...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Coding
  • Natural Language Processing

Background:

  • Big data is increasingly utilized in health research.
  • Electronic medical record (EMR) data requires coding for optimal use.
  • Not all EMR systems generate coded data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an accurate method for converting narrative diagnoses from Australian general practice records into SNOMED CT-AU codes.
  • To enhance the clinical utility of EMR data for population health aggregation and research.

Main Methods:

  • A hybrid approach combining natural language processing (NLP) for automatic coding and manual review.
  • Iterative refinement of NLP and manual coding over four cycles.
  • Aggregation of coded data into classes for population health analytics.

Main Results:

  • Achieved 95% coding coverage of the narrative diagnosis corpus.
  • Identified challenges in SNOMED CT-AU utilization and developed protocols for consistent coding.
  • Demonstrated the value of coded data for Australian population health analytics.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method successfully codifies narrative diagnoses, significantly improving data for health research.
  • Protocols for SNOMED CT-AU coding can guide future system development.
  • The findings have implications for population health analytics in Australia and globally.
