Observational StudyRisk Factors for Silent Brain Infarcts and White Matter Disease in a Real-World Cohort Identified by Natural Language Processing.
To assess the frequency of silent brain infarcts (SBIs) and white matter disease (WMD) and associations with stroke risk factors (RFs) in a real-world population. ⋯ An NLP algorithm can identify a large cohort of patients with incidentally discovered SBIs and WMD. Advanced age is strongly associated with incidentally discovered SBIs and WMD.
