Natural language processing in the intensive care unit: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence focused on enabling computers to interpret and analyse text-based data. The intensive care specialty is known to generate large volumes of data, including free-text, however, NLP applications are not commonly used either in critical care clinical research or quality improvement projects. This review aims to provide an overview of how NLP has been used in the intensive care specialty and promote an understanding of NLP's potential future clinical applications.

Design

Scoping review.

Data sources

A systematic search was developed with an information specialist and deployed on the PubMed electronic journal database. Results were restricted to the last 10 years to ensure currency.
