Automated WC underperforms manual and Louvain methods; leaves open whether refinements could aid Frank ECG analysis.
Does the automated Washington code provide comparable diagnostic accuracy to manual coding and the Louvain program in analyzing Frank records?
The automated Washington code has lower diagnostic accuracy than manual coding and the Louvain program, and is not recommended for clinical application.
