Premature mortality analysis of 52,000 deceased cats and dogs exposes socioeconomic disparities (2024)
Journal Article
Farrell, S., Anderson, K., Noble, P.-J. M., & Al Moubayed, N. (2024). Premature mortality analysis of 52,000 deceased cats and dogs exposes socioeconomic disparities. Scientific Reports, 14(1), Article 28763. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-77385-8

Monitoring mortality rates offers crucial insights into public health by uncovering the hidden impacts of diseases, identifying emerging trends, optimising resource allocation, and informing effective policy decisions. Here, we present a novel approa... Read More about Premature mortality analysis of 52,000 deceased cats and dogs exposes socioeconomic disparities.

Text mining for disease surveillance in veterinary clinical data: part two, training computers to identify features in clinical text (2024)
Journal Article
Davies, H., Nenadic, G., Alfattni, G., Arguello Casteleiro, M., Al Moubayed, N., Farrell, S., Radford, A. D., & Noble, P.-J. M. (2024). Text mining for disease surveillance in veterinary clinical data: part two, training computers to identify features in clinical text. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 11, Article 1352726. https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2024.1352726

In part two of this mini-series, we evaluate the range of machine-learning tools now available for application to veterinary clinical text-mining. These tools will be vital to automate extraction of information from large datasets of veterinary clini...
