Inference of ICD Codes by Rule-Based Method from Medical Record in NTCIR-12 MedNLPDoc

چکیده
We propose an effective method which automatically assigns proper ICD codes for diagnosis. Unfortunately, the number of electronic Japanese medical records available would not be sufficient for statistical machine learning methods to perform well. Therefore, we observed characteristics of medical records manually, writing rules to make effective methods by hand. Our system achieved the highest F-measure score among all participants in the most severe evaluation criteria. Through comparison with other approaches, we show that our approach could be a useful milestone for the future development of Japanese medical records processing.

Inference of ICD Codes from Japanese Medical Records by Searching Disease Names
Importance of utilizing medical information is getting increased as electronic health records (EHRs) are widely used nowadays. We aim to assign international standardized disease codes, ICD-10, to Japanese textual information in EHRs for users to reuse the information accurately. In this paper, we propose methods to automatically extract diagnosis and to assign ICD codes to Japanese medical rec...
متن کاملNARS: NTCIR-12 MedNLPDoc Baseline
NTCIR-12 MedNLPDoc is a shared task of ICD coding task, which is a multi-labeling task to a patient medical record. This paper describes the baseline system of the task. The system is based on the simple word match with a disease name dictionary without any use of training data. This report presents the results of the baseline system, and discusses the basic feasibility of this system.

The phenotyping task of the NTCIR-12 MedNLPDoc Task [1] is a multi-labeling task retrieved from Japanese medical records. The team-Nikon participated in this task and proposed a new method that assigns the ICD codes by using Information Retrieval (IR) and reduces the magnitude of mistaken coding by using machine learning. When evaluated on development set, our system achieved F-scores of 29.2% ...
متن کاملNIL: Simple Approach to Find the ICD Codes
To do the task of NTCIR-12 MedNLPDoc, we adopted the simple approach that is match the noun in the medical records with the disease name in the ICD code after morphological analysis of text of medical records. Of course, the effectiveness of this approach is restrictive. But this is our first try and we consolidate the problems and advance toward the next step.
متن کاملReport on the NTCIR-12 MedNLPDoc Task Results
The reuse of clinical data for the research environment is becoming one of the important tasks in medical informatics. The automatic assignment of the medical codes to the pre-identified concepts is turning to the Sisyphean task. For the MedNLP task in NTCIR-12 a new approach to automatically enrich the dictionary using online data is proposed. We have developed a text-mining system able to tre...
