UroLlmEvalSet

Content

This dataset contains 149 short textual descriptions in German medical language about the diagnosis and medical history of patients with prostate cancer. The prostate cancer diagnosis is not present in all of the texts and many texts also contain other tumor diagnoses. The texts are labeled with the three-character ICD-10 codes of the diagnoses and with the date of the initial diagnosis of the tumor. Some diagnosis dates in the text are specified only as years, while others include both year and month. In the labels, the dates are therefore strings of the format "YYYY" or "YYYY-MM". If there is no clearly attributable first diagnosis date for a tumor diagnosis in a text, the corresponding date value is "0". The dataset schema is as follows:

{
    'text': string,               # Text about diagnosis and current medical history of a patient
    'label': [                    # Multiple labels (diagnosis/date pairs) may be present for the text.
        {                         
            'diagnosis': string   # ICD-code of tumor diagnosis
            'date': string        # Date of initial diagnosis of this tumor
        }
    ]
}
