Skin Diseases and Disorders

3.9K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.6K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

4.2K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Clinical Natural Language Processing
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Accurate identification of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) from electronic health records (EHRs) is crucial for quality improvement, clinical guideline development, and epidemiological analysis.
  • Current structured EHR data in the United States does not reliably capture SSTI subtypes, such as purulent versus non-purulent infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a rule-based clinical natural language processing (NLP) system for the automated extraction and classification of SSTI subtypes from clinical notes.
  • To address the limitations in structured data for capturing detailed SSTI information.

Main Methods:

  • Trained and evaluated a rule-based clinical NLP system.
  • Utilized 6,576 manually annotated clinical notes from the United States Veterans Health Administration (VA).
  • Focused on automatically extracting and classifying SSTI subtypes.

Main Results:

  • The system achieved mention-level performance metrics ranging from 0.39 to 0.80.
  • Document-level classification performance ranged from 0.49 to 0.98.
  • Demonstrated the feasibility of using NLP for detailed SSTI subtyping.

Conclusions:

  • A rule-based clinical NLP system can effectively extract and classify SSTI subtypes from unstructured clinical notes.
  • This approach enhances the reliability of SSTI data derived from EHRs.
  • The findings support improved data utilization for clinical and research applications.
