The emerging role of cognitive computing in healthcare: A systematic literature review

Big data analytics in healthcare: a systematic literature review

“…The protocol for the current SLR, as presented in Figure 1, is comprised of three sequential processes: planning the review, performing the review, and presenting the review (Behera, Bala, and Dhir 2019;Tandon et al 2020). The present SLR includes preset inclusion and exclusion criteria (see Figure 1), as recommended by prior literature (Behera, Bala, and Dhir 2019;Tandon et al 2020).…”

“…In terms of methodology, conceptual (17 studies) and mathematical (17 studies) approaches were found to be prevalent in the selected studies, followed by case studies (6 studies), descriptive statistics (6 studies), econometric models (2 studies), and qualitative analysis (1 study). Note: Quality evaluation criteria are adopted from Behera, Bala, and Dhir (2019) and Tandon et al (2020). The studies that received QS < 4.5 (threshold value) are highlighted in grey.…”

“…This SLR focused on four databases: Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and PubMed. These databases are reportedly the most important sources for studies related to medical health informatics (Behera, Bala, and Dhir 2019;Tandon et al 2020). Full texts of the studies that appeared relevant were screened for eligibility.…”

“…Of the screened studies, 133 were excluded from further analysis in accordance with the exclusion criteria (see Figure 1). A critical evaluation of these 43 studies was important to ensure transparent and unbiased outcomes from the current SLR (Behera, Bala, and Dhir 2019). Therefore, the quality score (QS) for each of the 43 selected articles was computed in Table 2; five studies failed to meet the threshold value (QS = 4.5).…”

“…The present SLR adopted a protocol for planning, performing, and presenting a review, as followed in prior studies (Behera, Bala, and Dhir 2019;Tandon et al 2020). The current status of research on any topic under investigation can be represented in terms of key information, such as the annual distribution of publications, average citation count, top contributors, and methodologies adopted in the reviewed studies (Behera, Bala, and Dhir 2019;Tandon et al 2020). Therefore, the current SLR answered RQ1 by reporting a sample profile of the reviewed studies.…”
