subjects from the Stanford clinical data warehouse spanning 18 years using a novel text-mining/statistical analytics pipeline. We identified 232 PAD patients taking Cilostazol and created a control group of 1,160 PAD patients not taking this drug using 1:5 propensity-score matching. Over a mean follow up

T here is a well-recognized split within clinical psychology between research and practice in professional work, career paths, and training. The split has come into sharper focus with the development and evaluation of empirically supported, or evidence-based, interventions. 1 A central issue

A. Examine teaching evidence-based practice (EBP) from a curricular perspective B. Examine the interaction of students and EBP C. Examine the skills to be taught D. Examine the understandings to be taught E. Examine a variety of learning activities for developing understandings and skills

spanning 14 adverse events and 1,164 drugs. Our evaluations on this gold standard using over 10 million clinical notes from the Stanford Hospital confirm that learning DDIs from clinical text is feasible (AUROC=81.5%). We conclude that the text in EHRs contain valuable information for learning DDIs and has

Editor's Note: This article is the first in a series of articles that during the next 2 years will sequentially address various evidence-based approaches to the diagnosis and management of common clinical problems in primary care. Future articles will deal with clinical efficacy

Abstract Public early intervention programs like Head Start are often justified as investments in children. Yet nothing is known about the long-term effects of Head Start. This paper draws on unique data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to provide new evidence on the effects of Head Start

We have quite a rich issue this month related to practice-based research networks (PBRNs)—reflections on where they have been, where they should go, how they should happen; lessons learned about recruit-ing physicians and patients and new research methods; and several clinical studies from existing

We propose a novel approach for ICU patient risk stratification by combining the learned “topic ” structure of clinical concepts (represented by UMLS codes) extracted from the unstructured nursing notes with physiologic data (from SAPS-I) for hospital mortality prediction. We used Hierarchical

[0001] Today a large portion of biomedical information can be accessed electronically. However, research articles, technical reports, clinical notes, and many other sources of information are stored as free-form text not suited for quantitative analysis. As the amount of data grow everyday
