Development of a method for searching for clinical trials by including factors
Incoming article date: 10.11.2022The results of clinical trials are the main source of information in the implementation of medical activities in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine. At the moment, there are no information systems that would allow a doctor to select clinical studies within the framework of nosology that best match the profile of a particular patient, in order to further analyze their results and select therapy. The aim of the study was to improve the existing process of searching for clinical trials by using the prioritization method according to the inclusion criteria set by the doctor during the selection. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were implemented, namely, the process of selecting and searching for clinical trials by doctors was studied and the method of searching for clinical trials by doctors and the allocation of the necessary criteria was worked out. The team of authors proposed an algorithm for searching for clinical trials according to inclusion criteria, which in turn will significantly increase the effectiveness and reduce the time for searching and choosing therapy.
