We report on first experiences from linguistic analyses of patient instructions from 19,8404 actual drug prescriptions regarding seven pharmaceutical products frequently prescribed in Sweden. The analysis includes expressions for amount, dose unit, dose interval, mode of administration, purpose and a few further details. Even simple processing seems useful to extract information from these short, rather formal text strings. We estimate the potential for calculation of prescribed dose from this material, and collected material gives a good starting point for more advanced linguistic analyses.
我们报告了对瑞典常见的七种药品的198404份实际药方中的患者用药说明进行语言分析的初步经验。分析内容包括用量、剂量单位、给药间隔、给药方式、用途以及一些其他细节的表述。即便简单的处理对于从这些简短、相当正式的文本串中提取信息似乎也很有用。我们评估了从这些材料中计算出规定剂量的可能性，并且所收集的材料为更高级的语言分析提供了一个良好的起点。
