Popis: Background The increasing complexity of data streams and computational processes in modern clinical health information systems makes reproducibility challenging. Clinical natural language processing (NLP) pipelines are routinely leveraged for the secondary use of data. Workflow management systems (WMS) have been widely used in bioinformatics to handle the reproducibility bottleneck. Objective To evaluate if WMS and other bioinformatics practices could impact the reproducibility of clinical NLP frameworks. Materials and Methods Based on the literature across multiple researcho fields (NLP, bioinformatics and clinical informatics) we selected articles which (1) review reproducibility practices and (2) highlight a set of rules or guidelines to ensure tool or pipeline reproducibility. We aggregate insight from the literature to define reproducibility recommendations. Finally, we assess the compliance of 7 NLP frameworks to the recommendations. Results We identified 40 reproducibility features from 8 selected articles. Frameworks based on WMS match more than 50% of features (26 features for LAPPS Grid, 22 features for OpenMinted) compared to 18 features for current clinical NLP framework (cTakes, CLAMP) and 17 features for GATE, ScispaCy, and Textflows. Discussion 34 recommendations are endorsed by at least 2 articles from our selection. Overall, 15 features were adopted by every NLP Framework. Nevertheless, frameworks based on WMS had a better compliance with the features. Conclusion NLP frameworks could benefit from lessons learned from the bioinformatics field (eg, public repositories of curated tools and workflows or use of containers for shareability) to enhance the reproducibility in a clinical setting.
