Does the use of BERT on radiology reports improve prediction accuracy for surgical case duration in orthopedic surgery?
Using BERT-based NLP on radiology reports can improve the accuracy of predicting orthopedic surgery case durations.
This proof-of-concept study demonstrated the successful application of NLP and machine leaning to extract features from unstructured clinical data resulting in improved prediction accuracy for surgical case duration.
Zhong et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
