  1. Introdução à Medicina I Professor Doutor Altamiro Pereira 2008/2009 Bayesian Networks as Clinical Decision Support Systems in Medical Settings: A Review Turma 22

  2. Bayesian Networks Introduction • Health managers and clinicians are frequently asked to provide quantifiable information to support their decision, which is not always easy to obtain. • Therefore, some artificial intelligence systems are idealized to support healthcare professionals with responsibility based on the manipulation of information and knowledge.

  3. Bayesian Networks Introduction • These Bayesian networks can be used to represent the probabilistic relationships and interdependencies among a set of variables, namely diseases and symptoms. • Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are considered to combine medical knowledge base, patient data and an inference engine to generate case specific advice.[2] (Classen, 1998) Medical Knowledge Patient Data Advice Artificial Intelligence System (such as Bayesian Networks) CDSS

  4. Bayesian Networks Main Question In which healthcare domains and clinical fields are Bayesian networks being used as clinical decision support systems in Medicine?

  5. Bayesian Networks Specific Objectives • Identify the healthcare domains and point out which fields (diagnosis, therapy and prognosis) are usually targeted by BN as CDSS in real-world clinical practice. • Discuss the efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of BN in CDSS expressed in the included studies.

  6. Bayesian Networks Methods • Review: • The articles/papers used in systematic review are searched in Medline, ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus. This literature search is conducted by a conjunction of keywords (and their synonyms) with other words related with variables. • keywords: • - Decision Support Systems, Clinical • - Bayes Theorem • All the articles are collected using EndNoteand are reviewed by two peers. Initially, these two reviewers analyze the title and the abstract, registering briefly the causes of non-selection. Then, the chosen articles are read integrally and are applied the inclusion and exclusion criteria, previously elaborated. The divergent opinions are solved by a third reviewer and the exclusion causes are registered. It is necessary to evaluate this process’ reproducibility and to register the exclusion motives. Finally, a specific formulary is created for data extraction and processed using SPSS. If possible, a meta-analysis will be applied. The final results are interpreted, discussed and the final article is elaborated.

  7. Bayesian Networks Variables in Study • Types of Study (e.g. Experimental vs observational) and Data types (primary data vs secondary data) • Articles’ information (First author’s country affiliation, publication date, institution) • Healthcare domains (emergency, critical care, stroke service…) • Clinical fields (diagnosis, therapy, prognosis) • Efficacy, Effectiveness and Efficiency of Bayesian’s techniques

  8. Bayesian Networks Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria • Inclusion Criteria: • Applied to diagnosis or prognosis or therapeutic related to Bayes theorem • Include results • Paper provides details so that the study can be reproduced • Written in English • Exclusion Criteria: • Meta-analysis and reviews • Not applied to humans

  9. Bayesian Networks ExpectedResults • Most of the articles found refer to Diagnostic tests of CDSS based on BN. • CDSS based on BN are more frequently used in diagnosis. • CDSS based on BN have been applied in Rapid Assessment Unit and in Emergency. • CDSS based on BN are efficacious and effective but not efficient.
