An algorithm was developed to extract structured treatment dosage and duration from free-text ADHD prescriptions in the Swedish prescribed drug register to facilitate future pharmacoepidemiological studies.
Supports future ADHD pharmacoepidemiology using Swedish registers; leaves open validation and clinical translation.
The structured output of the algorithm could serve as basis for future pharmacoepidemiological studies evaluating utilization, effectiveness, and safety of medication use, which would facilitate evidence-based treatment decision-making.
