AAA case
contains abdominal aorta or
abdominal aorta aneurysm related terms and aneurysm size >= 3 cm
Non case
1) status post (e.g., s/p AAA repair,
aortic endograft, etc.) 2) only AAA terms w/o size 3) normal AAA indication 4) no AAA information

Our system classified most AAA-case
reports with a high F-score A NLP system showed a good capability to identify an AAA patient cohort with size enables large-scale clinical study
