The Development of a Comprehensive Clinicopathologic Registry for Glomerular Diseases Using Natural Language Processing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glomerulonephritis (GN) represents a common cause of chronic kidney disease, and treatment to slow or prevent progression of GN is associated with significant morbidity. Large patient registries have improved the understanding of risk stratification, treatment selection, and definitions of treatment response in GN, but can be resource-intensive, with incomplete patient capture.

Objective

To describe the creation of a comprehensive clinicopathologic registry for all patients undergoing kidney biopsy in Manitoba, using natural language processing software for data extraction from pathology reports, as well as to describe cohort characteristics and outcomes.

Design

Retrospective population-based cohort study.

Setting

Tertiary care center in the province
