Numerical criteria in clinical trials: annotating, detecting and normalizing
Critères numériques dans les essais cliniques : annotation, détection et normalisation
Résumé
Clinical trials are very important for the evaluation of new therapies or diagnosis procedures, of their security and efficency. They must rely on convenient sample of the population. the challenge is then to recruit sufficient number of participants with similar characteristics to guarantee that the results are controlled and due tu the factors studied. This is a difficult task, mainly performed manuelly. Because numerical values are frequent and provide important information, we propose an automatic system that aims their extraction and normalization.
Les essais cliniques sont un élément fondamental pour l'évaluation de nouvelles thérapies ou techniques de diagnostic, de leur sécurité et efficacité. Ils exigent d'avoir un échantillon convenable de la population. Le défi consiste alors à recruter le nombre suffisant de participants avec des caracté-ristiques similaires pour garantir que les résultats des essais sont bien contrôlés et dus aux facteurs étudiés. C'est une tâche difficile, effectuée essentiellement manuellement. Comme les valeurs numé-riques sont une information très fréquente et importante, nous proposons un système automatique qui vise leur extraction et normalisation.
