### Dataset Summary

**PMC-Patients** is a first-of-its-kind dataset consisting of 167k patient summaries extracted from case reports in PubMed Central (PMC), 3.1M patient-article relevance and 293k patient-patient similarity annotations defined by PubMed citation graph.


### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

**This is purely the patient summary dataset with relational annotations. For ReCDS benchmark, refer to [this dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/zhengyun21/PMC-Patients-ReCDS)**

Based on PMC-Patients, we define two tasks to benchmark Retrieval-based Clinical Decision Support (ReCDS) systems: Patient-to-Article Retrieval (PAR) and Patient-to-Patient Retrieval (PPR). 
For details, please refer to [our paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.13876.pdf) and [leaderboard](https://pmc-patients.github.io/).

## Dataset Structure

### PMC-Paitents.csv

This file contains all information about patients summaries in PMC-Patients, with the following columns:

- `patient_id`: string. A continuous id of patients, starting from 0.
- `patient_uid`: string. Unique ID for each patient, with format PMID-x, where PMID is the PubMed Identifier of the source article of the patient and x denotes index of the patient in source article.
- `PMID`: string. PMID for source article.
- `file_path`: string. File path of xml file of source article.
- `title`: string. Source article title.
- `patient`: string. Patient summary.
- `age`: list of tuples. Each entry is in format `(value, unit)` where value is a float number and unit is in 'year', 'month', 'week', 'day' and 'hour' indicating age unit. For example, `[[1.0, 'year'], [2.0, 'month']]` indicating the patient is a one-year- and two-month-old infant.
- `gender`: 'M' or 'F'. Male or Female.
- `relevant_articles`: dict. The key is PMID of the relevant articles and the corresponding value is its relevance score (2 or 1 as defined in the ``Methods'' section).
- `similar_patients`: dict. The key is patient_uid of the similar patients and the corresponding value is its similarity score (2 or 1 as defined in the ``Methods'' section).
