A Natural Language Processing Algorithm for Classifying Suicidal Behaviors in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia Patients: Development and Validation Using Electronic Health Records Data
Abstract:Objective: This study aimed to develop a natural language processing algorithm (NLP) using machine learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques to identify and classify documentation of suicidal behaviors in patients with Alzheimer disease and related dementia (ADRD). Materials and Methods: We utilized MIMIC-III and MIMIC-IV datasets and identified ADRD patients and subsequently those with suicide ideation using relevant International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. We used cosine similarity with Sc… Show more
