商品描述

In this Information Age, the practices of clinical medicine should no longer be based on what clinical doctors actively know. Rather, all of the importantly practice-relevant knowledge should not only already exist but also be codified in cyberspace, in directly practice-guiding 'expert systems' -- for the benefit of both doctors and patients everywhere.

Each of these systems (discipline-specific) would, prompted by a particular type of case presentation, present the doctor a questionnaire specific to cases of the type at issue, and document the doctor's answers to the questions. If at issue would be a case of complaint about a (particular type of) sickness, the system would translate the resulting diagnostic profile of the case into the corresponding probabilities of the illnesses to be considered. Similarly, if at issue would be an already-diagnosed case of a particular illness, the system would ask about, and record, the relevant elements in the prognostic profile of the case and then translate this profile into the probabilities of various outcomes to be considered, probabilities specific to the choice of treatment and prospective time in addition to that profile. And besides, these systems would analogously address the causal origin -- etiogenesis -- of cases of particular types of illness.

While the requisite knowledge-base for these systems -- notably for the probabilities in them -- has not been addressed by such 'patient-oriented' clinical research as has been conducted (very extensively) up to now, this book delineates the nature of the suitably-transformed research (gnostic). The critically-transformative innovation in the research is the studies' focus on Gnostic Probability Functions -- dia-, etio-, and prognostic -- in the framework of logistic regression models.

This book also presents a vision of how this critically-transformative research would most expeditiously be provided for and also conducted, among select sets of academic teaching hospitals.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在這個資訊時代，臨床醫學的實踐不應再僅僅基於臨床醫生所主動了解的知識。相反，所有重要的實踐相關知識不僅應該已經存在，還應該在網路空間中被編碼，形成直接指導實踐的專家系統，以造福全球的醫生和病人。

每一個這樣的系統（特定學科）都會根據特定類型的病例呈現，向醫生提供一份針對該類型病例的問卷，並記錄醫生對問題的回答。如果涉及的是針對某種（特定類型）疾病的投訴，系統將把該病例的診斷概況轉換為相應的疾病概率。同樣地，如果涉及的是已經診斷的特定疾病病例，系統將詢問並記錄該病例預後概況中的相關要素，然後將這一概況轉換為各種結果的概率，這些概率特別針對治療選擇和預期時間。此外，這些系統還將類似地處理特定類型疾病的因果起源——病因學。

儘管這些系統所需的知識庫——特別是其中的概率——尚未被目前進行的（非常廣泛的）以病人為導向的臨床研究所解決，本書描繪了適當轉化研究的性質（知識論）。這項研究中的關鍵性轉變創新在於研究專注於知識概率函數——病因學、預後學——在邏輯回歸模型的框架內。

本書還提出了一個願景，說明這項關鍵性轉變的研究將如何在選定的學術教學醫院中最迅速地提供和進行。
