Cost-Effectiveness and Cost-Utility of a Colon Capsule Endoscopy in a Population-Based Screening Program for Colorectal Cancer

Background: Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) has been proposed as a non-invasive alternative to colonoscopy for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, offering greater patient comfort and potentially reducing healthcare burden. However, its cost-effectiveness in population-based screening remains uncertain. Methods: This study used a state-transition (Markov) model to simulate lifetime outcomes of CRC sc...

Stigmatizing Language Detection in Opioid Use Disorder Patient-Directed Discharge Clinical Documentation: A Privacy-Preserving Analysis Using a Locally Deployed Large Language Model

Objective: Stigmatizing language in the electronic health record (EHR) has been associated with adverse patient experience in substance use disorder care, including opioid use disorder (OUD). This study evaluated a privacy-preserving, locally-deployed large language model as a method to detect stigmatizing language documentation in OUD patients with patient-directed discharge (PDD). Methods: A ret...

A Multi-Agent RAG Framework for Biomedical Literature Analysis

Background: The biomedical literature is expanding at an unprecedented rate, with over 4,000 new articles indexed on PubMed each day. Clinicians and r...
