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
terms = {
"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.add_terms_from_dict(terms)
# 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)
