Automatic integration of drug indications from multiple health resources

Published: 11 November 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Drug indication refers to what disease(s) a drug may treat -- a type of information that is frequently sought by biomedical researchers, health care professionals and the general public. Although such information may be available online, it is often challenging for non-experts to glean unbiased reliable information from multiple websites of various quality. In addition, most drug indication information is only available in free text as opposed to structured format, thus making it difficult for further automatic analysis by computers. In response, we herein focus on automatically extracting and integrating drug indication information from multiple resources such as DailyMed and MeSH Scope notes. We select trustworthy resources of drug/disease relationships and apply state-of-the-art relationship extraction methods, customized to improve recall and perform ellipsis and anaphora resolution. As a result, 7,670 unique TREATS relationships between 4,666 drugs and 1,293 diseases are integrated from 4 different sources with an estimated overall correctness of 77% and specificity of 84%.
