# Task 8.1 Summary: ClinicalFactsExtractor Implementation ## Overview Successfully implemented the `ClinicalFactsExtractor` class for extracting structured clinical facts from medical documents with qualifier detection and evidence association. ## Implementation Details ### Files Created 1. **src/pipeline_mco_pmsi/extractors/__init__.py** - Module initialization 2. **src/pipeline_mco_pmsi/extractors/clinical_facts_extractor.py** - Main extractor implementation 3. **tests/test_clinical_facts_extractor.py** - Comprehensive unit tests ### Key Features Implemented #### 1. Clinical Facts Extraction (`extract_facts()`) - Extracts structured facts from clinical documents - Supports multiple fact types: - **Diagnostics**: Diagnoses, conclusions, impressions - **Actes**: Medical procedures, interventions, surgeries - **Examens**: Tests, imaging, lab results - **Traitements**: Medications, prescriptions, therapies - Associates each fact with precise textual evidence (document_id, span, text) - Generates unique fact IDs using UUID #### 2. Qualifier Detection (`detect_qualifiers()`) - **Negation Detection**: Identifies negated facts using markers: - "pas de", "absence de", "sans", "aucun", "ni" - "exclu", "infirmé", "non retrouvé" - **Suspicion Detection**: Identifies suspected/uncertain facts: - "possible", "suspecté", "probable", "à confirmer" - "évocateur", "compatible avec", "hypothèse" - **Priority System**: Negation takes priority over suspicion - **Confidence Adjustment**: Reduces confidence scores based on qualifiers: - Negated facts: confidence = 0.3 - Suspected facts: confidence = 0.6 - Affirmed facts: confidence = 1.0 #### 3. Temporality Detection (`_detect_temporality()`) - **Antécédents**: "antécédent", "ancien", "histoire de", "connu pour" - **Chronique**: "chronique", "persistant", "au long cours", "de longue date" - **Actuel**: Default temporality when no markers detected #### 4. Evidence Association - Each fact includes: - `document_id`: Source document identifier - `span`: Exact character positions (start, end) - `text`: Extracted text - `context`: Surrounding text (±50 characters) - Enables full traceability and auditability #### 5. Confidence Calculation - Base confidence from qualifier detection - Adjusted for temporality: - Antécédents: ×0.9 - Chronique: ×0.95 - Final confidence bounded to [0.0, 1.0] ### Technical Implementation #### Pattern-Based Extraction - Uses compiled regex patterns for performance - Separate patterns for each fact type - Case-insensitive matching - Captures both structured (e.g., "Diagnostic: ...") and free-text mentions #### Context Window Analysis - 150-character window for qualifier detection - Handles markers before, within, or after fact text - Marker relevance check (max 50 characters distance) #### Marker Relevance Algorithm - Detects if marker is within the extracted fact text - Checks proximity for markers before/after the fact - Case-insensitive matching with fallback to first word ## Test Coverage ### Unit Tests (35 tests, all passing) 1. **Qualifier Detection Tests** (8 tests) - Negation with various markers - Suspicion detection - Affirmation (no markers) - Priority handling 2. **Temporality Detection Tests** (6 tests) - Antécédent keywords - Chronique conditions - Default to "actuel" 3. **Fact Extraction Tests** (8 tests) - Extraction by fact type - Negation handling - Suspicion handling - Antécédent handling 4. **Stay-Level Extraction Tests** (2 tests) - Multi-section extraction - Document ID preservation 5. **Confidence Calculation Tests** (5 tests) - High confidence for affirmed facts - Reduced confidence for suspected/negated - Temporality adjustments - Bounds checking 6. **Context Extraction Tests** (4 tests) - Context window extraction - Start/end boundary handling - Ellipsis addition 7. **Marker Relevance Tests** (3 tests) - Close markers - Distant markers - Markers after facts ## Requirements Validated ### Exigence 6.2: Extraction de faits structurés ✓ - Extracts diagnostics, actes, examens, traitements - Structured data with type, text, qualifier, temporality ### Exigence 6.3: Association avec preuves ✓ - Each fact has evidence with document_id and span - Exact character positions tracked ### Exigence 6.4: Assignation de qualificateurs ✓ - All facts have qualifiers (affirmé/nié/suspecté) - Markers detected and recorded ### Exigence 2.1: Détection de négation ✓ - Negation markers detected - Facts marked as "nié" - Confidence reduced ### Exigence 2.2: Détection de suspicion ✓ - Suspicion markers detected - Facts marked as "suspecté" - Confidence reduced ### Exigence 2.3: Détection de temporalité ✓ - Temporality markers detected - Facts marked with temporality - Confidence adjusted ## Integration Points ### Input - `StructuredStay` from `DocumentProcessor` - Contains segmented sections from clinical documents ### Output - List of `ClinicalFact` objects - Each with: - Unique ID - Type (diagnostic/acte/examen/traitement) - Text content - Qualifier (certainty, markers, confidence) - Temporality (actuel/antécédent/chronique) - Evidence (document_id, span, text, context) - Overall confidence score ### Next Steps - Facts will be used by the `Codeur` to propose CIM-10/CCAM codes - Evidence will support code justification - Qualifiers will influence code selection (e.g., negated facts not coded) ## Performance Characteristics - Compiled regex patterns for fast matching - Single-pass extraction per section - O(n) complexity where n = document length - Minimal memory overhead (streaming processing) ## Code Quality - Type hints throughout - Comprehensive docstrings - Immutable data models (Pydantic) - 100% test pass rate - Clear separation of concerns ## Example Usage ```python from pipeline_mco_pmsi.extractors import ClinicalFactsExtractor from pipeline_mco_pmsi.processors import DocumentProcessor # Process documents processor = DocumentProcessor() structured_stay = processor.process_documents(documents, stay_metadata) # Extract facts extractor = ClinicalFactsExtractor() facts = extractor.extract_facts(structured_stay) # Analyze facts for fact in facts: print(f"Type: {fact.type}") print(f"Text: {fact.text}") print(f"Certainty: {fact.qualifier.certainty}") print(f"Temporality: {fact.temporality}") print(f"Confidence: {fact.confidence}") print(f"Evidence: {fact.evidence.document_id} @ {fact.evidence.span}") ``` ## Conclusion Task 8.1 is complete. The `ClinicalFactsExtractor` successfully extracts structured clinical facts with comprehensive qualifier detection and evidence association, meeting all specified requirements.
