BD2K Think Tank on EHR Data
Methodologies in Clinical Research
1. Clinical questions
o Are allergies associated with
higher risk of uveitis in kids
with Juvenile Arthritis?
2. Insights from the data
o Learning off-label use of drugs
3. Phenotypic profiling
o Finding the rate of
incontinence after prostate
surgery
4. Predictive models
o Who is going to be depressed?
• EHR as the major data source
• Dealing with imperfect EHR data as they are

14 0PAST MEDICAL/SURGICAL HISTORY: Positive for atrial fibrillation. The patient had AVR 6 years ago. Peripheral arterial disease with hypertension, peripheral neuropathy, atherosclerosis, hemorrhoids, proctitis, CABG, and cholecystectomy.
FAMILY HISTORY: Positive for atherosclerosis, hypertension, autoimmune diseases in the family.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: Weight loss of 25 pounds within the last 6 months, shortness of breath, constipation, bleeding from hemorrhoids, increased frequency of urination, muscle aches, dizziness and faintness, focal weakness and numbness in both legs, knees and feet.
LABORATORY DATA AND RADIOLOGICAL RESULTS: The patient had a chest x-ray, which showed cardiomegaly with atherosclerotic heart disease, pleural thickening and small pleural effusion, a left costophrenic angle which has not changed when compared to prior examination, COPD pattern. The patient also had a head CT, which showed atrophy with old ischemic changes. No acute intracranial findings.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS: Syncope. DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS: The patient was discharged on the following medications; Cardizem 90 mg p.o. thrice daily, digoxin 0.125 mg p.o. once daily, allopurinol 100 mg two times daily, Coumadin 4 mg p.o. q.h.s., and Remeron 15 mg p.o. q.h.s.
