A Cross-Sectional Survey of Optometrists in Canada Regarding Referral Patterns and a Needs Assessment for an Artificial Intelligence Referral Screening Tool for Epiretinal Membrane.

Ophthalmic surgery, lasers & imaging retina
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated optometrists' referral patterns for epiretinal membrane (ERM) patients in Ontario, Canada, and their attitudes towards an artificial intelligence (AI) tool for improving referral accuracy. An anonymous o...

Evaluating AI performance in nephrology triage and subspecialty referrals.

Scientific reports
Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promise in revolutionizing medical triage, particularly in the context of the rising prevalence of kidney-related conditions with the aging global population. This study evaluates the utility of ChatGPT, a large...

Using artificial intelligence based language interpretation in non-urgent paediatric emergency consultations: a clinical performance test and legal evaluation.

BMC health services research
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of Google Translate (GT) in translating low-acuity paediatric emergency consultations involving respiratory symptoms and fever, and to examine legal and policy implications of using AI-based language interpretation...

Feasibility of AI as first reader in the 4-IN-THE-LUNG-RUN lung cancer screening trial: impact on negative-misclassifications and clinical referral rate.

European journal of cancer (Oxford, England : 1990)
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose CT (LDCT) reduces lung-cancer-related mortality in high-risk individuals. AI can potentially reduce radiologist workload as first-read-filter by ruling-out negative cases. The feasibility of AI as...

Lymphoma triage from H&E using AI for improved clinical management.

Journal of clinical pathology
AIMS: In routine diagnosis of lymphoma, initial non-specialist triage is carried out when the sample is biopsied to determine if referral to specialised haematopathology services is needed. This places a heavy burden on pathology services, causes del...

Machine Learning Reveals Demographic Disparities in Palliative Care Timing Among Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury Receiving Neurosurgical Consultation.

Neurocritical care
BACKGROUND: Timely palliative care (PC) consultations offer demonstrable benefits for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), yet their implementation remains inconsistent. This study employs machine learning methods to identify distinct patient ...

BMJ open gastroenterology
OBJECTIVE: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cancer in the UK. Patients with symptoms suggestive of CRC should be referred for urgent investigation. However, gastrointestinal symptoms are often non-specific and there is a need for sui...

Constructing a Hospital Department Development-Level Assessment Model: Machine Learning and Expert Consultation Approach in Complex Hospital Data Environments.

JMIR formative research
BACKGROUND: Every hospital manager aims to build harmonious, mutually beneficial, and steady-state departments. Therefore, it is important to explore a hospital department development assessment model based on objective hospital data.

Diagnostic Accuracy of a Mobile AI-Based Symptom Checker and a Web-Based Self-Referral Tool in Rheumatology: Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) is often delayed due to unspecific symptoms and a shortage of rheumatologists. Digital diagnostic decision support systems (DDSSs) have the potential to expedite diagnosis and help p...

AI-initiated second opinions: a framework for advanced caries treatment planning.

BMC oral health
Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into medical and dental applications can be challenging due to clinicians' distrust of computer predictions and the potential risks associated with erroneous outputs. We introduce the idea of using AI to trigg...
