What this trial studies

This study aims to develop and validate artificial intelligence tools, specifically machine learning and Natural Language Processing, to acquire and structure data from medical reports related to acute pulmonary embolism at the Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Toulon. The project builds on previous work in cancer research and seeks to identify clinically relevant phenotypes in patients by employing hierarchical clustering methods. The ultimate goal is to enhance therapeutic decision-making by creating a robust data-driven tool for vascular medicine practitioners.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism.

Not a fit: Patients with sub-segmental pulmonary embolisms or those who oppose participation may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment strategies for patients with acute pulmonary embolism.

How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored in cancer research, this specific application of AI in acute pulmonary embolism is relatively novel.
