Using deep learning-based natural language processing to identify reasons for statin nonuse in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

Abstract

Sarraju, Coquet et al. utilise a natural language processing approach to identify reasons for statin nonuse in the health records of patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Their approach identifies patient-level and clinician-level reasons for statin nonuse, with differences by ASCVD type and patient race/ethnicity.
