Researchers Map Tools for AI Clinical Appraisal

Cabello et al. conducted a scoping review (search to April 2024) to identify tools for critically appraising clinical AI studies, screening 4,393 records and including 70 articles. They found 46 tools (26 reporting guides, 16 critical appraisal, 2 study-quality, 2 risk-of-bias), noted reporting tools predominated, and highlighted gaps in bias assessment, chatbot evaluation, and AI fairness guidance.
Key Points
- 1Found 46 tools including 26 reporting guides, 16 appraisal tools, 2 quality, 2 risk-of-bias
- 2Identified predominance of reporting tools, revealing gaps in AI-specific bias and fairness assessment
- 3Advise practitioners to adopt and adapt appraisal methods to mitigate AI bias and evaluate chatbots
Scoring Rationale
Comprehensive, peer-reviewed mapping of 46 appraisal and reporting tools drives high utility, but offers limited novel methodological advances.
