Lupus Nephritis study cohort

Purpose and Context:
We (Pangaea Data) are conducting a research study with a team at a global US Pharmaceutical company focused on Lupus Nephritis. We need a count for the number of patients meeting our criteria (attached) in the UK. This is for a clinical trial study. Some criteria might require mining of unstructured data which we (Pangaea Data) can help with. Once we have the counts, the purpose will be to apply our (Pangaea Data’s) novel unsupervised AI on the same unstructured data such as doctors notes, discharge summaries and lab reports to extract further intelligence in the context of this study.
