Article Synopsis
- * The evaluation highlighted areas where the AI struggled, particularly in interpreting complex medical scenarios and demonstrated issues with context understanding, leading to errors in 27% of cases.
- * Although GPT-4 showed potential for clinical relevance, further scrutiny of its reasoning and accuracy is necessary before fully relying on it in a medical setting.
Article Synopsis
- Manuscripts submitted to EJVES often lack fundamental scientific principles and appropriate methodology, leading to essential post-submission editing by the editorial team.
- The editorial team has established reporting standards focused on common vascular surgery conditions such as carotid artery disease, AAA, PAOD, and chronic venous disease, intending to assist authors in improving their work.
- By implementing these universally accepted reporting standards, EJVES aims to enhance the quality of evidence for future clinical practice guidelines and improve overall clinical practices in vascular surgery.
Chronic venous disease (CVD) is an umbrella term for a group of morphological and functional disorders of the venous system. Clinical signs of CVD may range from telangiectasia and reticular veins to active venous ulcers; therefore, earlier diagnosis and management of CVD may delay disease progression and reduce the burden of CVD on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems. In this podcast discussion, Professor Andrew Nicolaides, Professor Stavros Kakkos, and Dr Gerardo Estrada-Guerrero share the key highlights from their symposium at the 2023 European Venous Forum.

September 2024
Objective: Technology and advances in clinical care have changed the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) but the clinical effectiveness of continuing advances needs to be assessed. To facilitate rapid synthesis of new evidence and improve stakeholder representation, including patients, the concept of core outcome sets (COS) has been developed. COS, reflecting the needs of all stakeholders, have been established across several surgical specialties.
