More niche endovascular treatment trials โ salvaging tissue at risk outside the typical indications, but with incrementally added risks for death.

Better informed patients, better consultations, better outcomes.
A good direction of travel, if neither earth-shaking nor ground-breaking.

Relying upon LLMs to suggest courses of diagnostic evaluation might cost more than a physician โ but these data overstate the claim.
It is, however, a legitimate outstanding question to address the safety/completeness inflection point.

Bubbly hyperbole is a lot more fun the dismal realities of revenue, EBITDA, and returning value to shareholders โ but we ought not forget the bill will come due, and that might affect the tools in development and freely/easily accessible at present.

@chrissyfarr I'm aware of individual experts in Clinical Informatics who deal with EMR-related cases โ and clinical decision-support issues can be part of those.
And "AI" encompasses a spectrum of fancy decision-support, so the basic premises can be the same.
@PauldingBrief Don't forget the "false reassurance" โ if folks decide they're going to rely upon the blood tests rather than the traditional screening pathways, they will have delayed diagnoses for common cancers, as well.
Perhaps not "snake oil", but a combination of "anxiety oil" and "false reassurance oil", with a dollop of unnecessary invasive procedures.

@Damian_Roland And I initially read this as "Pediatric Early Warning Teams" ... reminding me of adult ERT which has minimal reliable evidence in support, but everyone likes them, so ๐
It's your chance to see the @AnnalsofEM podcast team live! in person! And catch up on the last year of the top content from your @ACEPNation flagship journal.
See you in Chicago!
@adamcifu "Asymptomatic adults"? The physical examination isn't universally sensitive or specific in "symptomatic adults" ... but we place a lot of weight on it.
Sending low/intermediate-risk folks to CT coronary angiograms following an ED visit didn't do much for their CVD outcomes, but fewer people were dead within 3 years ... ๐ค
