The DeepSeek-R1-14B model was used to extract clinical features from free-text data, outperforming traditional methods and achieving high accuracy (96.1%) in identifying symptoms like fever and rash. Logistic regression based on these features showed the best performance with an AUROC of 0.927 and accuracy of 87.5%. The study concludes that LLM-based extraction of clinical features from EMRs is a promising approach for early mpox case identification, supporting intelligent surveillance and early warning systems.
