Drug Extraction Core

This is the core library used by the CLI and Web application interfaces.

As noted in the main ToolBox documentation, this library's development will be driven heavily by the needs of the CLI application.

Full API documentation can be found on docs.rs.

Description

Drugs, as defined by the Drug type include a name, rx_cui, rx_class_id, and rx_class_relasource. Technically these could be manually compiled, but we recommend fetching from the RxClass API.

For an example, see fetch_drugs() from the CLI application.

Requires

• cargo package manager (rust toolchain)
• just (optional dev-dependency if you clone this repo)

Installation

Cargo is available as a part of the Rust toolchain and is readily available via curl + sh combo (see here).

To install the drug-extraction-core library, simply:

drug-extraction-core = 0.1.0

inside your Cargo.toml.

Usage

A simple usage example:

let search = DrugSearch::new(
    Algorithm::Levenshtein,
    levenshtein,
    None,
    None,
    &["hello", "world"]
);
let results = search.scan("hello world", None);
println!("{:?}", results);

We support both CSV and JSONL output.

Example Workflow

For analytical purposes, I would suggest combining all of these jsonlines files into one larger file and then you can process it with a tool like jq or Python - Pandas depending on your use case. 🙂
