Article Abstract

Background: The development and use of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in healthcare have increased, prompting a need for evidence on their safety and value. Economic evaluations support healthcare decision-making and resource allocation. This scoping review aimed to map and synthesize current approaches to evaluating the economic aspects of machine learning based technologies implemented in healthcare.

Methods: Following the updated JBI guidance for scoping reviews, six databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore) were searched for studies evaluating the economic aspects of machine learning-based technologies within healthcare. No exclusions were applied to healthcare settings, healthcare professionals or used economic evaluation methods. The results of data extraction were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inductive coding. The reporting of the studies was compared against the CHEERS-AI statement.

Results: A total of 6332 references were retrieved, with 18 studies included in the review. The studies comprised economic evaluations (n = 9), impact evaluations (n = 5), and performance evaluations (n = 4), with cost-effectiveness analysis being the most frequently used economic evaluation method (n = 8). The comparison of the studies to the reporting guidelines revealed gaps in the reporting of details from economic evaluations and the artificial intelligence nature of the technologies. Overall, the study alignment with the CHEERS-AI items on average was 39.6 %, with 64.1 % alignment with economic evaluation details, and 21.3 % alignment with key details related to the artificial intelligence nature of the evaluated technologies.

Conclusions: The current literature evaluating the economic aspects of machine learning-based technologies implemented in healthcare reveals gaps in coherence and coverage. Frameworks guiding artificial intelligence development should be refined to incorporate components related to system evaluation and post-implementation considerations. Further, multidisciplinary collaboration should be enhanced and promoted.

Background: At the 2020 UN General Assembly, China pledged to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. However, the traditional social development model has led to increasing carbon emissions annually, highlighting the need to resolve the contradiction between development and carbon reduction. This study examines the relationship between carbon emissions, economy, population, and energy consumption in a specific region to support carbon peak and neutrality goals.

This study introduces Multi-Dimensional Environment (MDE) zoning to enhance maize resilience and improve stagnant yields in China amidst climate change. Utilizing comprehensive environmental and yield data, MDE zoning accurately identifies areas for targeted, climate-adaptive breeding. The tool provides a flexible framework for updates using annual variety testing and daily environmental data, optimizing production and resource allocation.

Aim: To understand communication about sexuality for adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) and complex communication needs.

Method: We systematically searched primary research on adolescents aged 10 to 24 years with CP and/or complex communication needs. We coded the primary evidence against themes derived from a theoretical framework analysis.

Background: Initially limited to inpatient use, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is now frequently used in community settings. However, complexities in wound management step-down strategies in the United Kingdom, including regional variations in referral processes, lack of consensus on funding criteria, and limited availability of NPWT units, have led to extended hospital length of stay (LOS) for patients ready for discharge but still needing NPWT. Single-use NPWT (sNPWT) can serve as a bridge between hospital and community NPWT.

Background: This retrospective analysis is a derivative cohort study based on a prior retrospective investigation by this author group.

Objective: To assess the effect of the number of cellular and/or tissue-based product (CTP) applications on healing outcomes and wound area reduction (WAR) rates in patients with chronic wounds of multiple etiologies.

Methods: Data from a multicenter private wound care practice electronic health record database were analyzed for Medicare patients receiving CTPs from January 2018 through December 2023.
