However, there are a number of disadvantages of the CART approach. The LRM model can be used by infection control practitioners for risk adjustment across different periods or units and for evaluation of the efficacy of new technologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
