Automated screening of emergency department notes for drug-associated bleeding adverse events occurring in older adults.
The purpose of this study was to conduct research to show the value of text mining for automatically identifying suspected bleeding adverse drug events (ADEs) in the emergency department (ED). The investigators found that both models they examined, accurately identify bleeding ADEs using the presence or absence of certain clinical concepts in ED admission notes for older adult patients.

Persistent pain after motor vehicle collision: comparative effectiveness of opioids vs nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs prescribed from the emergency department-a propensity matched analysis.
This study evaluated the effect of opioid analgesics vs NSAIDs initiated from the ED on the presence of moderate to severe musculoskeletal pain and ongoing opioid use at 6 weeks in a large cohort of adult ED patients presenting to the ED after motor vehicle collision. No difference in risk for moderate to severe musculoskeletal pain at 6 weeks was observed between those discharged with opioid analgesics vs NSAIDs.
