Description

I believe this is a difficult error to fix as it's related to the algorithm to de-identify the clinical notes. I've seen multiple examples of disease names being anonymized since they contain a name in them—for example, Lewis Body Dementia, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, etc. This makes the data noisy for automated medical coding, which many are using it for. Will it be possible to fix this issue?

Example:

hadm_id: 23052089 from MIMIC-IV

ACUTE/ACTIVE ISSUES:

The issue names no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the MIMIC online documentation and the de-identification process behind the MIMIC-IV example with hadm_id 23052089. Done would require an agreed way to prevent disease names such as Lewis Body Dementia and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease from being anonymised, followed by validation on affected notes.
