Yet, investigating non-symptomatic recovery in the field of personality disorders has been particularly challenging due to complexities in capturing the occurrence of recovery. Electronic health records (EHRs) provide a robust platform from which episodes of recovery can be detected. However, much of the relevant information may be embedded in free-text clinical notes, requiring the development of appropriate tools to extract these data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Using data from one of Europe's largest electronic health records databases [the Clinical Records Interactive Search (CRIS)], we developed and evaluated natural language processing (NLP) models for the identification of occupational and activities of daily living (ADL) recovery among individuals diagnosed with personality disorder.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The models on ADL performed better (precision: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.73\u20130.84) than those on occupational recovery (precision: 0.62; 95%CI: 0.52\u20130.72). However, the models performed less acceptably in correctly identifying all those who recovered, generally missing at least 50% of the population of those who had recovered.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>It is feasible to develop NLP models for the identification of recovery domains for individuals with a diagnosis of personality disorder.
