• Title: Extracting COVID-19 Diagnoses and Symptoms From Clinical Text: A New Annotated Corpus and Neural Event Extraction Framework
• Authors: Kevin Lybarger, Mari Ostendorf, Matthew Thompson, Meliha Yetisgen
• Abstract summary: This work presents a new clinical corpus, referred to as the COVID-19 Annotated Clinical Text (CACT) Corpus. It comprises 1,472 notes with detailed annotations characterizing COVID-19 diagnoses, testing, and clinical presentation. We introduce a span-based event extraction model that jointly extracts all annotated phenomena. In a secondary use application, we explored the prediction of COVID-19 test results using structured patient data and automatically extracted symptom information.

• Abstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic. Although much has been learned about the novel coronavirus since its emergence, there are many open questions related to tracking its spread, describing symptomology, predicting the severity of infection, and forecasting healthcare utilization. Free-text clinical notes contain critical information for resolving these questions. Data-driven, automatic information extraction models are needed to use this text-encoded information in large-scale studies. This work presents a new clinical corpus, referred to as the COVID-19 Annotated Clinical Text (CACT) Corpus, which comprises 1,472 notes with detailed annotations characterizing COVID-19 diagnoses, testing, and clinical presentation. We introduce a span-based event extraction model that jointly extracts all annotated phenomena, achieving high performance in identifying COVID-19 and symptom events with associated assertion values (0.83-0.97 F1 for events and 0.73-0.79 F1 for assertions). In a secondary use application, we explored the prediction of COVID-19 test results using structured patient data (e.g. vital signs and laboratory results) and automatically extracted symptom information. The automatically extracted symptoms improve prediction performance, beyond structured data alone.

  We present a two-stage framework that leverages pseudo labels for domain adaptation to enhance the detection of COVID-19 from CT scans. By utilizing annotated data from one domain and non-annotated data from another, the model overcomes the challenge of data scarcity and variability. Experimental results on COV19-CT-DB database showcase the model's potential to achieve high diagnostic precision.

  Following the global COVID-19 pandemic, the number of scientific papers studying the virus has grown massively. We present a clinical text mining system that improves on previous efforts in three ways. First, it can recognize over 100 different entity types including social determinants of health, anatomy, risk factors, and adverse events. Second, the text processing pipeline includes assertion status detection, to distinguish between clinical facts that are present, absent, conditional, or about someone other than the patient.
