[Note: for readability's sake, YG's favorite cuss word has been replaced throughout with the word "stuff".].
However, it was noted that the readability and information content of the de-identified notes was not compromised despite the low precision.
Although the precision of the software (0.75) is relatively low in comparison to manual de-identification (average precision 0.98 from one human de-identifier), it should be noted that the readability and information content of the de-identified notes are not significantly compromised.

Note that for the readability of the manuscript, the changes are not tracked in the Introduction.
Observations based on the de-identified medical notes generated from the software suggest that such misspelled words, when removed from the notes as false positives, usually have little impact on the readability of the notes, as they usually do not convey critical information about the patients.
