Sensitivity and Specificity of an Ngram Method for Classifying Emergency Department Visits into the Respiratory Syndrome in the Turkish Language
Content Type: Abstract
Previously we developed an “Ngram” classifier for syndromic surveillance of emergency department (ED) chief complaints (CC) in Turkish for bioterrorism. The classifier is developed from a set of ED visits for which both the ICD… read more… in that it assigns a probability that each visit falls within the syndrome rather than ruling the visit “in” or “out” of the syndrome. It is possible … classifiers in that it assigns a probability that each visit falls within the syndrome rather than ruling the visit … -
The NGram CC Classifier: A Novel Method of Automatically Creating CC Classifiers Based on ICD9 Groupings
Content Type: Abstract
Syndromic surveillance of emergency department (ED) visit data is often based on computer algorithms which assign patient chief complaints (CC) to syndromes. ICD9 code data may also be used to develop visit classifiers for syndromic surveillance but… read more… Syndromic surveillance of emergency department (ED) visit data is often based on computer algorithms which … to syndromes.

A Case Manager Tool for Anomaly Investigation in BioSurveillance
Content Type: Abstract
Effective anomaly detection depends on the timely, asynchronous generation of anomalies from multiple data streams using multiple algorithms. Our objective is to describe the use of a case manager tool for combining anomalies into cases, and for… read more… New York, for the years 1996-2005. The record for each visit includes hospital, patient geography …
