Diagnosing complex internal medicine cases has traditionally been the domain and hallmark of clinical expertise. However, the creation of a differential diagnosis list using abstracted case information can be seen as a database query function and has been emulated by software such as QMR and Iliad. To test this premise, twenty two sophomore medical students were taught how to abstract clinical data, and use QMR and Iliad to diagnose complex clinical cases from the New England Journal of Medicine. Half of the students were able to provide correct diagnoses within a list of ten. These preliminary results supports a notion that clinical diagnosis may be a skill independent of clinical experience.
传统上,诊断复杂的内科病例一直是临床专业知识的领域和标志。然而,使用提取的病例信息创建鉴别诊断列表可被视为一种数据库查询功能,并且已经被诸如QMR和Iliad等软件所模仿。为了验证这一前提,22名大二医学生学习了如何提取临床数据,并使用QMR和Iliad来诊断《新英格兰医学杂志》上的复杂临床病例。一半的学生能够在十个诊断列表中给出正确的诊断。这些初步结果支持了这样一种观点,即临床诊断可能是一种独立于临床经验的技能。
