Abstract

To derive a method of identifying use of evidence-based psychotherapy (EBP) for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), we used clinical note text from national Veterans Health Administration (VHA) medical records. Using natural language processing, we developed machine-learning algorithms to classify note text on a large scale in an observational study of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans with PTSD and one post-deployment psychotherapy visit by 8/5/15 (N = 255,968). PTSD visits were linked to 8.1 million psychotherapy notes. Annotators labeled 3467 randomly-selected psychotherapy notes (kappa = 0.88) to indicate receipt of EBP. We met our performance targets of overall classification accuracy (0.92); 20.2% of veterans received ≥ one session of EBP over the study period. Our method can assist with identifying EBP use and studying EBP-associated outcomes in routine clinical practice.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 April 2018.
All research outputs
#14,081,606
of 23,849,058 outputs
Outputs from Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research
#428
of 670 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#243,715
of 478,609 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research
#7
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,849,058 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 670 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.2. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 478,609 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its contemporaries.
