Background: Laterality errors in radiology reports can endanger patient safety. Effective methods for screening for laterality errors in combined radiographic reports, which combine multiple studies into one, remain unexplored. Objective: First, we define and analyze the unstudied combined radiographic report format and its challenges. Second, we introduce a clinically deployable ensemble method (rule-based+GPT-4o), evaluated on large-scale, real-world, imbalanced data. Third, we demonstrate significant performance gaps between real-world imbalanced and synthetic balanced datasets, highlighting limitations of the benchmarking methodology commonly used in current studies. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed deidentified English radiology reports containing laterality terms in order. We split the data into TrainVal (combined training and validation dataset), Test-1 (both real-world, imbalanced), and Test-2 (synthetic, balanced). Test-1 comes from a distinct branch. Experiment 1 compared the baseline, workaround, and GPT-4o-augmented rule-based methods. Experiment 2 compared the rule-based method with the highest recall to fine-tuned RoBERTa, ClinicalBERT, and GPT-4o models. Results: As of July 2024, our dataset included 10,000 real-world and 889 synthetic radiology reports. The laterality error rate in real-world reports was 1.20% (120/10,000), significantly higher in combined (103/7000, 1.47%) than in noncombined reports (17/3000, 0.57%; difference=0.90%; z=3.81; P

💀 30 Americans Die EVERY Hour From This Hidden Killer | Karel Cast Ep. 25-68 You hear about cancer, heart disease, and accidents — but the #3 leading cause of death in the USA? You probably haven’t been told the full truth. ➡️ Medical errors claim 100,000 lives a year — that’s 30 people per hour. And no, these aren’t rare mistakes… they’re disturbingly common. 💔 I lost the most important person in my life to this, and 24 years later, I still don’t trust the medical system — and after this episode, you might not either. 🚀 Meanwhile, Trump wants to weaponize space with a “golden dome” of defense — but who actually owns space? And what happens when other countries respond in kind? This could trigger a dangerous new arms race above Earth. ⚖️ Plus: I want to lose weight the old-fashioned way — but is that foolish in today’s shortcut-obsessed world? 🎧 Watch & listen to The Karel Cast, now streaming everywhere — Apple, Spotify, iHeart, YouTube, TikTok, and more. 💖 Support the show at patreon.com/reallykarel 📺 Subscribe: YouTube.com/reallykarel ⸻ #MedicalErrors, #HiddenKillers, #HealthcareCrisis, #TrumpNews, #WeaponizedSpace, #SpaceRace2025, #HealthCareReform, #MedicalMalpractice, #KarelCast, #LasVegasLife, #PoliticalPodcast, #LGBTQVoices, #YouTubeNews, #CurrentEvents, #TruthTelling, #ViralTopics, #WeightLossJourney, #HealthJustice, #PodcastLife, #RealTalk https://youtube.com/live/Lo_oBgTR0Hc
