Popis: The ability to search the biomedical literature based on findings would provide enhanced access to information. We describe a computer program called FINDX which relies on the UMLS Metathesuaurus and restricted natural language processing to identify findings in free text. Such identification can serve as a filtering mechanism while selecting relevant papers. After discussing the salient characteristics of findings on which FINDX depends, we report on the results of an experiment in which we tested the program on a set of MEDLINE abstracts pertaining to the diagnosis of Parkinson Disease.
