Abstract
Medical records contain a textual description of such important information as patients’ complaints, diseases progress and therapy. An extraction of this information could allow starting with processing information stored in medical databases. In this article we introduce a short description of a medical ontology storing information on patients’ complaints. We also describe an algorithm that uses this ontology for extraction of claims from texts of medical records. The algorithm combines both syntactic properties, and peculiarities, of a text and connections between diseases’ properties and their values. The algorithm corrects syntactical mistakes according to the hierarchical information from the ontology. The resulting algorithm was proved on 3000 clinical records of Department of Neurosurgery of FEFU.
The reported study was funded by RFBR according to the research project # 18-29-03131.
