Classifying Continuous Glucose Monitoring Documents From Electronic Health Records

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

Nearly half of CGM-related documents were AGP reports, which are useful for clinical practice and diabetes research; however, the remaining half are other clinical documents.
