• Abstract: High-throughput phenotyping automates the mapping of patient signs to standardized ontology concepts and is essential for precision medicine. This study evaluates the automation of phenotyping of clinical summaries from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database using large language models. Due to their rich phenotype data, these summaries can be surrogates for physician notes. We conduct a performance comparison of GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-Turbo. Our results indicate that GPT-4 surpasses GPT-3.5-Turbo in identifying, categorizing, and normalizing signs, achieving concordance with manual annotators comparable to inter-rater agreement. Despite some limitations in sign normalization, the extensive pre-training of GPT-4 results in high performance and generalizability across several phenotyping tasks while obviating the need for manually annotated training data. Large language models are expected to be the dominant method for automating high-throughput phenotyping of clinical text.

  Unstructured clinical text in EHRs contains crucial information for applications including decision support, trial matching, and retrospective research. Recent work has applied BERT-based models to clinical information extraction and text classification, given these models' state-of-the-art performance in other NLP domains. In this work, we propose a novel fine-tuning approach called SnipBERT. Instead of using entire notes, SnipBERT identifies crucial snippets and feeds them into a truncated BERT-based model in a hierarchical manner.
