Optimizing research in symptomatic uterine fibroids with development of a computable phenotype for use with electronic health records.
The objective of the study was to develop an electronic health record-based algorithm to identify women with symptomatic uterine fibroids for a comparative effectiveness study of medical or surgical treatments on quality-of-life measures. The study concluded that an electronic health record-based algorithm is capable of identifying cases of symptomatic uterine fibroids with moderate positive predictive value and may be an efficient approach for large-scale study recruitment.
