The effect of machine learning tools for evidence synthesis on resource use and time-to-completion: protocol for a retrospective pilot study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-17)Background Machine learning (ML) tools exist that can reduce or replace human activities in repetitive or complex tasks. Yet, ML is underutilized within evidence synthesis, despite the steadily growing rate of primary study publication and the need to periodically update reviews to reflect new evidence. Underutilization may be partially explained by a paucity of evidence on how ML tools can reduce ... -
Novel approach to artefact detection and the definition of normal ranges of segmental strain and strain-rate values
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-13)Aims - Strain artefacts are known to hamper the correct interpretation of segmental strain and strain-rate (S/SR). Defining the normal ranges of myocardial segmental deformation is important in clinical studies and routine echocardiographic practice. In order to define artefact-free normal ranges for segmental longitudinal S/SR parameters, we investigated the extent to which different types of ... -
