Mitigating adverse event reporting bias in spine surgery

この研究はハイインパクトの可能性があります。 OEのAI駆動型ハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文が持つ可能性の高い影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することが可能になり、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に集中することができます。

A previous study funded by Paradigm Spine, containing 322 patients who were scheduled to receive treatment of spinal stenosis with a Coflex implant (Paradigm spine product) or a conventional spinal fusion, was re-analyzed by an independent clinical events committee (CEC) to see if the classification of adverse events within the study were appropriate and to determine if the presence of investigators with financial interest in the study had an effect on the validity of classifications. 37% of adverse events were reclassified by the CEC, with a large majority of the reclassifications being an upgrade in severity or a designation of greater relatedness to the surgery or device. No significant effect of company interest or the financial interest of investigators on classification of adverse events was found by the independent CEC.
