Objectives: Collective intelligence, the "wisdom of the crowd," seeks to improve the quality of judgments by aggregating multiple individual inputs. Here, we evaluate the success of collective intelligence strategies applied to probabilistic diagnostic judgments.
Methods: We compared the performance of individual and collective intelligence judgments on two series of clinical cases requiring probabilistic diagnostic assessments, or "forecasts".
Background & Aims: T cells play a critical role in viral infection. We examined whether T-cell effector and regulatory responses can define clinical stages of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Methods: We enrolled 200 adults with CHB who participated in the National Institutes of Health-supported Hepatitis B Research Network from 2011 through 2013 and 20 uninfected individuals (controls).
