چکیده
Clinical trials are an important part of modern medical research, however the effort required to find candidates for participation in such trial is significant. With the increasing prevalence of electronic medical records, automated or semi-automated solutions become feasible. We present an semi-automated approach for determining clinical trial eligibility based on information available in an electronic medical record.

Compared with existing formalizations such as pattern-based and scriptbased languages, the rule-based formalization has the advantages of being declarative, expressive, reusable and easy to maintain. Our rul...
متن کاملPatterns of Clinical Trial Eligibility Criteria
Medical research would benefit from automatic methods that support eligibility evaluation for patient enrollment in clinical trials and design of eligibility criteria. In this study we addressed the problem of formalizing eligibility criteria. By analyzing a large set of breast cancer clinical trials we derived a set of patterns, that capture typical structure of conditions, pertaining to synta...
متن کاملStructuring Clinical Trial Eligibility Criteria with the Common Data Model
This paper presents a method for classifying and structuring free-text clinical trial eligibility criteria using the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM). Our method was applied to eligibility criteria text available from the largest clinical trial repository ClinicalTrials.gov. Structurally complex criteria were simplified and rewritten as simpler sentences connected by logical operators: AND or OR. S...
متن کاملHow Have Cancer Clinical Trial Eligibility Criteria Evolved Over Time?
Knowledge reuse of cancer trial designs may benefit from a temporal understanding of the evolution of the target populations of cancer studies over time. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective analysis of the trends of cancer trial eligibility criteria between 1999 and 2014. The yearly distributions of eligibility concepts for chemicals and drugs, procedures, observations, and medical conditio...
