This is the fourth paper in the evidence-based medicine glossary series. Bibliometric method was used to analyse the development of evidence-based medicine in medicine and non-medicine system. Evidence-based medicine, Evidence-based nursing, Evidence-based practice, Evidence-based dentistry, Evidence-based emergency medicine have been defined in this paper.
It is vital for disciplines to introduce their glossary in a standardized manner, and Evidence-Based Medicine is no exception. Unification and standardization for evidence-based medicine glossary are indispensable and urgent. This paper will introduce what is evidence-based medicine glossary and why it is important.
This is the second paper in the evidence-based medicine glossary series. It provides information on the principles for evidence-based medicine through definitions, criteria for inclusion and screening, regular flow-sheet, reporting format and the establishment of databases.
This is the sixth paper in the evidence-based medicine glossary series. In this paper, We mainly introduced the concept of research synthesis, systematic review and meta-analysis and review developing process of these glossary.
ObjectiveTo summarize the terms and definitions related to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) with a view to standardizing and unifying the existing terminology system. Methods To review the research literature related to NF1 at home and abroad, and to summarize the expressions of the disease and related terms. Results There are still some limitations in the current knowledge of NF1, especially in the expression of the terminology, and there are discrepancies in the description and naming of NF1-related features in different medical literatures and clinical guides. There are differences in the description and naming of NF1-related features in different medical literature and clinical guidelines. Through a systematic review of the literature, this paper provides a detailed compendium and summary of the terms and definitions of NF1-related clinical manifestations, pathological features, and genetic types, and further standardizes and unifies existing diagnostic criteria and terminology systems. ConclusionThe terms and definitions of NF1-related clinical manifestations are summarized to enhance the knowledge of clinicians and researchers related to NF1.
The method for detecting the negative terms in Chinese electronic medical record (EMR) is useful in providing evidence for constructing concept index. In this respect, we adopted an improved method which combined maximum matching with mutual information in order to extract terms in EMRs. This method can overcome the influence of overlay ambiguity. In addition, for the determination of negative semantic, we also adopted an improved method which combined rule-based method with word co-occurrence. This new method can reduce the probability of appearance of false positive terms caused by punctuation input errors. The result showed that the negative predictive value is 7.85% higher than the rule-based method.
