Using clinical notes, discharge summaries, and radiology reports from patients with cancer at 2 healthcare institutions, we finetuned Bio_Clinical Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) to develop VTE-BERT. The new model was trained to detect acute VTE events and their anatomical locations longitudinally. We internally and externally validated the model's performance in 2 randomly sampled cohorts of patients with advanced cancer.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The training cohort consisted of 715 patients and 14 013 annotated notes with ≥1 VTE keyword from the Harris Health System. The internal validation cohort included 400 additional patients with 7190 VTE keyword-containing notes from Harris Health System. The external validation cohort included 400 patients with 7371 VTE keyword-containing notes from the national Veterans Affairs healthcare system. VTE-BERT was trained until it reached a precision of 95% and recall of 98% on the patient level. Using independent datasets, the model achieved precision and recall of 95% and 91% in internal validation and of 85% and 92% in external validation.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>We trained and externally validated an efficient NLP model to detect incident VTE events longitudinally.
