Understanding Reasons for Oral Anticoagulation Nonprescription in Atrial Fibrillation Using Large Language Models Open
Background Rates of oral anticoagulation (OAC) nonprescription in atrial fibrillation approach 50%. Understanding reasons for OAC nonprescription may reduce gaps in guideline‐recommended care. We aimed to identify reasons for OAC nonprescr…

The leaky pipeline of diverse race and ethnicity representation in academic science and technology training in the United States, 2003–2019 Open
Introduction Diverse race and ethnicity representation remains lacking in science and technology (S&T) careers in the United States (US). Due to systematic barriers across S&T training stages, there may be sequential loss of diverse repres…

Natural language processing to identify reasons for sex disparity in statin prescriptions Open
Women with ASCVD were less likely to be prescribed guideline-directed statins compared with men. NLP identified additional sex-based statin disparities and reasons for statin non-prescription in clinical notes of patients with ASCVD.

Identifying Reasons for Statin Nonuse in Patients With Diabetes Using Deep Learning of Electronic Health Records Open
Background Statins are guideline‐recommended medications that reduce cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes. Yet, statin use is concerningly low in this high‐risk population. Identifying reasons for statin nonuse, which are typica…

Incidental Coronary Artery Calcium: Opportunistic Screening of Previous Nongated Chest Computed Tomography Scans to Improve Statin Rates (NOTIFY-1 Project) Open
Background: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) can be identified on nongated chest computed tomography (CT) scans, but this finding is not consistently incorporated into care. A deep learning algorithm enables opportunistic CAC screening of non…
