Getting started

Installation

pip install clinlp

Example

import spacy
from clinlp.ie import Term

nlp = spacy.blank("clinlp")

# Normalization
nlp.add_pipe("clinlp_normalizer")

# Sentences
nlp.add_pipe("clinlp_sentencizer")

# Entities
concepts = {
    "prematuriteit": [
        "preterm", "<p3", "prematuriteit", "partus praematurus"
    ],
    "hypotensie": [
        "hypotensie", Term("bd verlaagd", proximity=1)
    ],
    "veneus_infarct": [
        "veneus infarct", Term("VI", attr="TEXT")
    ]
}

entity_matcher = nlp.add_pipe("clinlp_rule_based_entity_matcher", config={"attr": "NORM", "fuzzy": 1})
entity_matcher.load_concepts(concepts)

# Qualifiers
nlp.add_pipe("clinlp_context_algorithm", config={"phrase_matcher_attr": "NORM"})

text = (
    "Preterme neonaat (<p3) opgenomen, bd enigszins verlaagd, familieanamnese vermeldt eveneens hypotensie "
    "bij moeder. Thans geen aanwijzingen voor veneus infarkt wat ook geen "
    "verklaring voor de partus prematurus is. Risico op VI blijft aanwezig."
)

doc = nlp(text)

Find information in the Doc object:

from spacy import displacy

displacy.render(doc, style="span", options={'spans_key': 'ents'})

With relevant qualifiers (defaults omitted for readability):

for ent in doc.spans["ents"]:
  print(ent, ent._.qualifiers_str)

• Preterme set()
• <p3 set()
• bd enigszins verlaagd set()
• hypotensie {'Experiencer.Family'}
• veneus infarkt {'Presence.Absent'}
• partus prematurus set()
• VI {'Temporality.Future'}
