Hi, I would like to use/extend cTAKES to detect allergies.
In the cTAKES publication (2010) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2995668/ there is the mention that: "Allergies to a given medication are handled by setting the negation attribute of that medication to ‘is negated’." However, in a post here in 2014 (RE: Allergy Indication) it is said that cTAKES does not have a module for allergy discovery. 1. What is the current status of allergy detection in cTAKES? 2. I did some testing, while cTAKES discovers concepts about allegies ("wheat allergy" is found as C0949570), using "ALLERGIES: PENICILLIN, WHEAT" or "The patient is allergic to penicillin." does not give penicillin or wheat annotations allergy status. How would I go about detecting these allergy mentions? Thanks, Tom
