PY - 2020 DA - 2020/10/15 TI - Extracting medication information from unstructured public health data: a demonstration on data from population-based and tertiary-based samples JO - BMC Medical Research Methodology SP - 258 VL - 20 IS - 1 AB - Unstructured data from clinical epidemiological studies can be valuable and easy to obtain. However, it requires further extraction and processing for data analysis. Doing this manually is labor-intensive, slow and subject to error. In this study, we propose an automation framework for extracting and processing unstructured data.
