A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON TEXT SUMMARIZATION OF MEDICAL RESEARCH ARTICLES

: The term "Medical Text summarization" refers to the process of extracting or collecting more useful information from medical articles in a concise manner. Every day, the count of medical publications increases continuously, and applying text summarization techniques can minimize the time needed to manually transform medical papers into a summarized version. This study's goal is to present a summary of recent works in medical text summarization from 2018 to 2022. It includes 15 papers covering different methodologies such as Clinical Context-Aware (CCA), Prognosis Quality Recognition (PQR), Bidirectional Encoder Representations From Transformers (BERT), Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and Sequence-To-Sequence (seq-2-seq) model. Also, the paper describes the newest datasets (PubMed, arXiv, SUMPUBMED, Evidence-Based Medicine Summarization, COVID-19 Open Research, BioMed Central, Clinical Context-Aware, Biomedical Relation Extraction Dataset, Semantic Scholar Open Research Corpus, and Prognosis Quality Recognition) and evaluation metrics (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation (ROUGE), F1 Metric, Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU), BERTScore (BS), and Accuracy) used in medical text summarization.
