This paper describes the successful use of a heuristic rule-based expert system for identifying presentations of ILI in general practice from routine clinical narrative.
For example, this study identified presentation variables that are not currently included in the model, such as ECG abnormalities, that could improve model prediction.
The objectives of this case report are to (1) identify clinical presentations of tricholemmoma, (2) discuss the characteristics of Cowden syndrome and the relationship between this syndrome and tricholemmoma, and (3) differentiate tricholemmoma from other superficial cutaneous tumors such as basal cell carcinoma and granulomas.
The approach to use automated software to identify appropriate presentations therefore seems appropriate.
Automatic flags for HIV testing on laboratory reports may help clinicians identify these presentations.
36 Moreover, using the APDC, it is possible to identify ED presentations which resulted in an admission to hospital.
To identify the presentation of pediatric patients with head and neck manifestations of cat-scratch disease, one of the most common causes of subacute or chronic lymphadenitis in children, and to determine surgical indications and outcomes.
Conclusion: By using hospitalization and 30-day mortality as safety gauges, standardized clinical criteria can identify, at presentation, VA ED users who may be safely cared for at a later date in a nonemergency setting.
The aim of this paper is to describe the development and testing of a rule based expert-system to identify the presentation of ILI within general practice from routinely recorded clinical narrative.
One study reported children presenting with back pain over a 1-year period and identified 225 presentations, most due to acute trauma, although infections such as urinary tract infections and viral illnesses were also found [11].
