NLP achieved modest performance in training (AUC\n                      <jats:sub>ROC<\/jats:sub>\n                      70% for RA and 69% for PsA) with a marked drop in independent test sets (AUC\n                      <jats:sub>ROC<\/jats:sub>\n                      62% and 61%, respectively), suggesting limited robustness and accuracy for routine clinical use. Further analysis suggested an overlap between terms included in notes of cases classified correctly versus incorrectly. Manual selection of notes suggestive of arthritis by Rheumatologists did not improve the model performance, which remained of limited generalizability. NLP identified demographic and clinical peculiarities of RA and PsA patients presenting to the Emergency Department, including differing temporal trends of admission between the diseases.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While NLP showed potential for extracting disease-related signals from Emergency Department clinical notes, its current performance does not support day-to-day clinical implementation.
