Does an artificial neural network improve diagnostic accuracy for acute myocardial infarction compared to emergency department physicians in patients presenting with anterior chest pain?
Absolute Event Rate: 96% vs 73.3%
An artificial neural network demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction compared to emergency department physicians in patients presenting with anterior chest pain.
Baxt et al. (1996) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=1,070). Artificial neural network vs. Emergency department physicians was evaluated on Diagnostic sensitivity for myocardial infarction. An artificial neural network achieved a diagnostic sensitivity of 96.0% and specificity of 96.0% for acute myocardial infarction, compared to 73.3% and 81.1% for emergency department physicians.
