Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from the Optimum Patient Care Research Database, utilizing various modeling approaches, including logistic regression and XGBoost, to develop clinical prediction models.
- * The XGBoost model showed promising accuracy in identifying undiagnosed small intestine NETs, suggesting that these models could aid in earlier identification, though further evaluation is needed to assess their effectiveness and cost-efficiency.

Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the implementation of MendelScan, a tool designed to find rare diseases in a UK primary care setting, addressing challenges like complexity and low physician awareness in diagnosing these conditions.
- The process involved analyzing data from 68,705 patients, using algorithms to flag potential cases based on medical records, leading to a clinical review of flagged patients to identify those needing further investigation.
- Out of the flagged cases, 75 records passed the review, resulting in 36 reports sent to GPs, with some categorized as possible diagnoses and others excluded due to existing clear diagnoses.
