Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Neurosurgery
Data Science

Background:

Clinical registries are essential for surgical outcomes research but are typically manual, costly, and error-prone.
Electronic Health Records (EHR) offer a potential data source for automating registry creation.
Existing methods for registry development are labor-intensive and may introduce manual errors.

Purpose of the Study:

To automate the generation of a spine surgery registry using EHR data.
To develop and validate interpretable regular expression (regex) classifiers for automated registry construction.
To combine neurosurgical domain expertise with natural language processing (NLP) for accurate data extraction.

Main Methods:

Utilized a Hadoop data lake containing comprehensive EHR data from an academic medical center.
Extracted all neurosurgery operative notes post-EHR transition using structured query language.
Employed regex classifiers, developed by neurosurgeons, to parse operative notes and compared results with a manual review of 100 notes.

Main Results:

Processed 31,502 operative cases, with the automated registry generated in under an hour after development and validation.
Regex classifiers achieved 98.86% average accuracy in identifying spinal procedures and vertebral levels.
Successfully identified patients needing follow-up operations within 30 days for quality metric monitoring.

Conclusions:

Demonstrated the feasibility of automatically generating a spine surgery registry from EHR data.
Highlighted the potential of interpretable NLP algorithms to overcome manual registry development challenges.
Facilitated rapid clinical research and improved outcomes monitoring through automated data capture.
