An ontological analysis of medical Bayesian indicators of performance

Abstract: BackgroundBiomedical ontologies aim at providing the most exhaustive and rigorous representation of reality as described by biomedical sciences. A large part of medical reasoning deals with diagnosis and is essentially probabilistic. It would be an asset for biomedical ontologies to be able to support such a probabilistic reasoning and formalize Bayesian indicators of performance: sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. In doing so, one has to consider that not only t… Show more

“…Section editors achieved a first selection of 100 papers based on titles and abstracts. After a second review of this set of papers, including full text reviews, a selection of 15 candidate best papers was established 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 . Five reviewers scored these 15 pre-selected papers and finally selected five final best papers 2 3 4 5 6 .…”

“…The last methodological challenge was addressed by Barton et al 8 , who provided an elegant theoretical basis for the use of ontologies for Bayesian indicators calculation, accounting for the granularity represented in these ontologies (i.e. the “spectrum effect”).…”

“…Additional statistical measures of models' performance were calculated, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV), with the latter (PPV and NPV) adjusted in accordance with the fixed prevalence of exponential response in STAR*D (0.5) [44]. Statistical measures of the studies themselves were likewise calculated, including STAR*D's and PGRN-AMPS's response rates and null-information rates (NIRs).…”

“…Many studies have been conducted that have successfully utilized the OHDSI consortium, including a treatment pathways study [ 8 ], a birth season – disease risk study [ 9 , 10 ] and several pharmacovigilance studies [ 11 ]. Using multiple sites allows researchers to study geographic variation [ 8 , 10 ], which can be caused by regional changes in pollution and other exposures [ 10 ].…”
