Abstract

This paper presents the results of an on-going research project for knowledge extraction from large corpora of clinical narratives in Bulgarian language, approximately 100 million of outpatient care notes. Entities with numerical values are mined in the free text and the extracted information is stored in a structured format. The Algorithms for retrospective analyses and big data analytics are applied for studying the treatment and evaluating the diabetes compensation and control of arterial blood pressure.
