MedDeID is an on‑premises framework that combines in‑house annotation, synthetic‑note generation, model training, inference, pseudonymisation and evaluation to de‑identify clinical text. On a Dutch hospital benchmark, a hospital‑trained transformer detected 98.9 % of identifying text while redacting only 0.24 % of non‑identifier text; a synthetic‑only model achieved 96.1 %. In primary‑care notes, the synthetic‑trained model outperformed the hospital‑trained model in recall and robustness to identifier‑format changes, and an English version trained without real text reached 99.7 % and 98.9 % detection on synthetic benchmarks.
The study investigates whether cross‑lingual clinical annotation projection can be treated as a constrained text‑generation task that preserves the original text while inserting entity tags. Using a workflow that embeds tags directly into immutable target‑language text and then validates them deterministically, the authors evaluated this approach against supervised candidate‑span projection and hybrid ML‑LLM refinement across six languages. Results show that direct LLM projection, particularly with GLM 5.2 and Gemma4:31B, achieves the highest strict F1 scores (up to 0.9201) and outperforms previous methods by 0.0564–0.1512, producing over 55,000 grounded mentions with accurate offsets.
