She has a history of 2 prior C diff infections, the most recent just 1 month ago. Recent antibx use in the last month on prior admission. Was also txd for Cdiff at that time for 14 d. course with po vanco. Pt was initially admitted to the ICU and was septic on pressors (levophed) until the morning of [8-26] with leukocytosis but no fever. C diff assay positive on admission, and pt had leukocytosis consistent with C diff. Patient was placed on Vanco po, Flagyl IV and Flagyl po initially, and when patient improved she was transitioned to Vanco oral and Flagyl oral on [8-29].

trec-ct-2021-7	60 yo M with Hep C cirrhosis, grade II esophageal varices, recent admission for UGIB [2-9] NSAID gastritis, referred for admission throught the ED by hepatology clinic for new slurred speech and tangential thought process. Patient also describes new imbalance leading to a fall during which he may have hit his head on. Per last liver clinic note has been off ETOH for a year (corroborated with pt), utox was negative for alocohol. CT was within normal limits, and neuro evaluation determined this was not ischemic infart. Patient was given a presumptive diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy and started on lactulose. Liver function tests showed a striking increase in his total and direct bilirubin since last visit. Another worrisome feature was the increase in the patient's AFP. This could be progression of cirrhosis as he failed interferon twice. He is to follow-up as an outpatient to work this up. Past Medical History: HCV Cirrhosis (tx with interferon x2 with no response) Portal Gastropathy Grade II Esophageal varices HTN Recent admission [4-/2150]: UGIB [2-9] non-steroidal induced gastritis
trec-ct-2021-8	This is a 57-year-old gentleman with CLL and large cell transformation. He presented with his disease back in [10/2119] with an elevated white count and LDH. He was without any splenomegaly or any cytopenias at that time. He did have some bulky lymphadenopathy. He then completed four cycles of FCR therapy, which he completed back in 09/[2119]. He had an excellent response to therapy and was monitored off treatment for approximately two years. He then presented in [7-/2122] with a rising white count, approximately 50% lymphocytes, and a mildly elevated LDH. He also had some mild worsening palpable lymphadenopathy. He then received four cycles of PCR, but did not have much in the way of response and his treatment regimen was switched to R-CVP of which he received two cycles. He did again not have a significant response, though continued to have an excellent performance status, and he was ultimately switched to Campath therapy. He did have resolution of his lymphocytosis, and his white count has come down nicely, but did not have much in the way of response in terms of reducing his bulky lymphadenopathy. He then eventually had developed an enlarging left cervical node which was biopsied and was found to have Richter's transformation.
trec-ct-2021-9	41 year old man with history of severe intellectual disability, CHF, epilepsy presenting with facial twitching on the right and generalized shaking in at his NH which required 20 mg valium to cease seizure activity. Per outside medical patient was felt to have focal epilepsy with secondary generalization, likely due to anoxic brain injury at birth, and probably related to the atrophic changes seen on MRI, particularly in the left temporal lobe. The patient first developed seizures at age 13 found by family to have a generalized convulsion. He had a second seizure two years after his first episode. He was maintained on Dilantin and phenobarbital. The patient went 20 years without another seizure. He was recently tapered off Dilantin, and it was felt that perhaps this medication was necessary to maintain him seizure free. The patient had no further events during the hospital course and was back at his baseline at the time of discharge. Full EEG reports are pending at the time of dictation. Past Medical History: Epilepsy as above, CHF, depression
trec-ct-2021-10	Pt is a 22yo F otherwise healthy with a 5 yr history of the systemic mastocytosis, with flares normally 3/year, presenting with flushing and tachycardia concerning for another flare. This is patient's 3rd flare in 2 months, while still on steroid taper which is new for her. She responded well to 125 mg IV steroids q 8 hrs and IV diphenydramine in addition to her continuing home regimen. CBC was at her baseline, w/normal differential. Serum tryptase revealed a high value at 84. The patient failed aspirin challenge due to adverse reaction. She was stabilized on IV steroids and IV benadryl and transferred back to the medical floor. She continued on her home histamine receptor blockers and was transitioned from IV to PO steroids and benadryl and observed overnight and was discharged on her home meds, prednisone taper, GI prophylaxis with PPI, Calcium and vitamin D, and SS bactrim for PCP.

Open-Patients is an aggregated dataset of public patient notes from four open-source datasets of public patient notes.

There are a total of 180,142 patient descriptions from these four datasets. These descriptions are all provided in the Open-Patients.jsonl file. For each item in the dataset, there are two attributes:

_id - tells which dataset did an item come from along with the index number of the item from the dataset.
description - the exact patient note extracted from a public dataset of patient notes

The patient notes and questions come from the following four datasets:

Text REtrieval Conference (TREC) Clinical Decision Support (CDS) track. This track consists of datasets of 30 patient notes each for three separate years from 2014-2016. The motivation of this track was to challenge participants to obtain relevant articles that can help answer potential questions for a particular patient note. The patient notes 2014 and 2015 are synthetic patient notes hand-written by individuals with medical training, but the 2016 dataset consists of real patient summaries coming from electronic health records. The _id for these notes is specified by the following structure: trec-cds-{year}-{note number}, where year is between 2014 and 2016, and the 'note number' is the index number of the note from the dataset for a particular year.
Text REtrieval Conference (TREC) Clinical Trials (CT) track. This track consists of 125 patient notes, where 50 notes are from the year of 2021 and 75 notes are from the year of 2022. This track was meant to have participants retrieve previous clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov that best match the symptoms described in the patient note. The notes from both tracks are synthetic notes written by individuals with medical training meant to simulate an admission statement from an electronic health record (EHR). The _id for these notes is specified by the following structure: trec-ct-{year}-{note number}, where year is either 2021 or 2022, and the 'note number' is the index number of the note from the dataset for a particular year.
MedQA-USMLE (US track) track. This dataset consists of 14,369 multiple-choice questions from the United States Medical Liscensing Examination (USMLE) where a clinical summary of a patient is given and a question is asked based on the information provided. Because not all of the questions involve a patient case, we filter for the ones involving patients and so there are 12,893 questions used from this dataset. These questions were curated as part of the MedQA dataset for examining retrieval methods for extracting relevant documents and augmenting them with language models to help solve a question. The _id for these notes are specified with the following format: usmle-{question index number}, where 'question index number' is the index of the question from the US_qbank.jsonl file in the MedQA dataset, consisting of all USMLE questions.
PMC-Patients. This dataset consists of 167,034 patient notes that were curated from PubMed Central (PMC). The purpose of this dataset is to benchmark the performance different Retrieval-based Clinical Decision Support Systems (ReCDS). For a given patient note, this dataset evaluates a model's ability to find similar patient notes and relevant articles from PMC. The _id for these notes are specified with the following format: pmc-{patient id}, where the 'patient id' is the 'patient_uid' attribute for each of the the patient notes from the pmc-patients.json file in the PMC-Patient dataset.

We hope this data set of patient summaries and medical examination questions can be helpful for researchers looking to benchmark the performance of large language models (LLMs) on medical entity extraction and also benchmark LLM's performance in using these extracted entitites to perform different medical calculations.
