Yes, cTAKES does not annotate lab data. The basic components are there -- the lab and the value, but linking the two of them is not. One could do the linking through rules or a classifier. I hope this helps. --Guergana

For an input like: LABORATORY DATA: Hemoglobin 10.6, hematocrit 31.7, white cell count 5.8, platelet 377. Magnesium 2.6, glucose 98, BUN 13, creatinine 0.5, sodium 138, potassium 3.9, chloride 103. INR is 1.5. The IdentifiedAnnotations classified them as Medication, Procedures etc but not as LabMention. Does this AE contain annotator to annotate Lab data? If not, can someone suggest any different annotator that could identify lab values.
