GAPS-Agent
|
The research group has previously developed the GAPS evaluation framework for complex clinical decision-making in lung cancer.
In this framework, G (Grounding) characterizes the cognitive depth of decision-making (ranging from knowledge retrieval to decisions that go beyond clinical guidelines), A (Authority) corresponds to the grading of evidence strength, P (Perturbation) describes the identification and management of real-world clinical confounding factors, and S (Strength) corresponds to the calibration of recommendation strength.
Within this framework, the research group has completed the construction of a 100-item complex lung cancer decision-making evaluation set along with its corresponding rubrics, and has invited multiple thoracic oncology experts to complete content validity validation.
Based on this, the research group developed GAPS-Agent, which uses an open-source large language model as its foundation and integrates functional modules such as guideline and evidence retri

Overall plan Win Ratio
Aikaikkuna: Measured at the time when experts completed their preference judgements. Calculated up to 3 weeks after the preference judgements.
|
A total of 10 blinded expert judges made Win/Tie/Loss ternary preference judgments on 192 paired scheme comparisons in terms of overall scheme quality.
The win ratio was calculated as Wins ÷ Losses, and the 95% confidence interval was estimated using a two-level (physician × case) cluster bootstrap resampling method (B = 10,000, quantile method on the log scale).

Measured at the time when experts completed their preference judgements. Calculated up to 3 weeks after the preference judgements.

Inter-rater agreement
Aikaikkuna: Measured at the time when experts completed their preference judgements. Calculated up to 3 weeks after the preference judgements.
|
For the ternary preference judgment results of 10 expert judges across 192 paired comparisons and 6 evaluation domains, Fleiss' kappa was used to assess inter-rater agreement.
The kappa value and its 95% confidence interval are reported for each evaluation domain.
