APT-DLD
Version 1.0, July 2020

Automated Phenotyping Tool for identifying DLD cases in health-systems data (APT-DLD) is an algorithm for classifying/identifying developmental language disorder cases in electronic health records system data. APT-DLD can be used to:
1. Identify pediatric DLD cases from electronic health record systems using ICD9 and ICD10 codes
2. Study epidemiology and population-level charateristics of DLD from EHRs

The How-To guide for using APT-DLD is provided in the files listed below.

We welcome users to contact Rachana Nitin (rachana.nitin17@gmail.com) or Reyna Gordon (reyna.gordon@alumni.usc.edu) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center with questions.

Details on the development and validation of the algorithm are provided in our Open Access paper:
