# Dataset Card for PMC-Patients

## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** 
- **Repository:** 
- **Paper:** 
- **Leaderboard:** 
- **Point of Contact:** 

### Dataset Summary

**PMC-Patients** is a first-of-its-kind dataset consisting of 167k patient summaries extracted from case reports in PubMed Central (PMC), 3.1M patient-article relevance and 293k patient-patient similarity annotations defined by PubMed citation graph.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Based on PMC-Patients, we define two tasks to benchmark Retrieval-based Clinical Decision Support (ReCDS) systems: Patient-to-Article Retrieval (PAR) and Patient-to-Patient Retrieval (PPR). 
For details, please refer to [our paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.13876.pdf) and [leaderboard](https://pmc-patients.github.io/).

### Languages

English (en).

## Dataset Structure

### PMC-Paitents.json

This file contains all information about patients summaries in PMC-Patients, which is a list of dict with keys:

- `patient_id`: string. A continuous id of patients, starting from 0.
- `patient_uid`: string. Unique ID for each patient, with format PMID-x, where PMID is the PubMed Identifier of the source article of the patient and x denotes index of the patient in source article.
- `PMID`: string. PMID for source article.
- `file_path`: string. File path of xml file of source article.
- `title`: string. Source article title.
- `patient`: string. Patient summary.
- `age`: list of tuples. Each entry is in format `(value, unit)` where value is a float number and unit is in 'year', 'month', 'week', 'day' and 'hour' indicating age unit. For example, `[[1.0, 'year'], [2.0, 'month']]` indicating the patient is a one-year- and two-month-old infant.
- `gender`: 'M' or 'F'. Male or Female.

### PAR & PPR Datasets

We present data of the two retrieval tasks in exactly the same format as [BEIR](https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir/wiki/Load-your-custom-dataset). we refer the readers to their wiki page for the data format.

The PAR and PPR tasks share queries and query splits. The `_id` field for queries and PPR corpus is `patient_uid` in PMC-Patients, and the `_id` for PAR corpus is the PMID of the article.
