Utilization of the PICO framework to improve searching PubMed for clinical questions

Connie Schardt, Martha Adams, Thomas Owens et al. · 15 Jun 2007

BACKGROUND: Supporting 21st century health care and the practice of evidence-based medicine (EBM) requires ubiquitous access to clinical information and to knowledge-based resources to answer clinical questions. Many questions go unanswered, however, due to lack of skills in formulating questions, crafting effective search strategies, and accessing databases to identify best levels of evidence. METHODS: This…

Explainability for artificial intelligence in healthcare: a multidisciplinary perspective

Julia Amann, Alessandro Blasimme, Effy Vayena et al. · 30 Nov 2020

BACKGROUND: Explainability is one of the most heavily debated topics when it comes to the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. Even though AI-driven systems have been shown to outperform humans in certain analytical tasks, the lack of explainability continues to spark criticism. Yet, explainability is not a purely technological issue, instead it invokes…

Extensions to decision curve analysis, a novel method for evaluating diagnostic tests, prediction models and molecular markers

Andrew J. Vickers, Angel M. Cronin, Elena B. Elkin et al. · 26 Nov 2008

BACKGROUND: Decision curve analysis is a novel method for evaluating diagnostic tests, prediction models and molecular markers. It combines the mathematical simplicity of accuracy measures, such as sensitivity and specificity, with the clinical applicability of decision analytic approaches. Most critically, decision curve analysis can be applied directly to a data set, and does not require…

Factors influencing the implementation of clinical guidelines for health care professionals: A systematic meta-review

Anneke L. Francke, Marieke Smit, A.J.E. de Veer et al. · 12 Sep 2008

BACKGROUND: Nowadays more and more clinical guidelines for health care professionals are being developed. However, this does not automatically mean that these guidelines are actually implemented. The aim of this meta-review is twofold: firstly, to gain a better understanding of which factors affect the implementation of guidelines, and secondly, to provide insight into the "state-of-the-art"…
