No one opts out of health care. That’s the moral and operational reality. On NEJM AI Grand Rounds, Dr. Kyunghyun Cho argues #AI should help systems care better under constraints. If a tool can’t reduce friction at the bedside, what is it really for? Full episode: nejm.ai/ep40

We Often Think About Randomized Trials as "the Gold Standard" for Causal Inference.
And yet we almost as often forget to ask what information they provide and under what circumstances.

Turns out generative AI can sometimes make some very convincing radiographs, and radiologists (and LLMs) struggle to catch all the fakes.

ApplyPolygenicScore functionality. Application of ApplyPolygenicScore functions demonstrated in a case study of 1071 individuals from the TCGA database, diagnosed with bladder (BLCA), liver (LIHC), or uterine (UCEC) cancer. A. Recommended workflow when implementing functions provided by ApplyPolygenicScore . A set of preprocessing functions convert polygenic risk score model (PGM) weight files into BED-formatted genomic coordinate files for suggested use in filtering VCF genotype data to desired coordinates. PGM application functions facilitate genetic data importation and weighted sum computation. Visualization functions provide summary information on computed PGSs and phenotype data. Solid arrows indicate required inputs and dotted arrows indicate optional inputs. B. BMI PGS densities, cohort-wide and by categorical phenotypes, computed in the case study cohort and automatically plotted by the create.pgs.density.plot function. C. Correlations of PGSs from (B) with continuous phenotypes automatically plotted by the create.pgs.with.continuous.phenotype.plot function. D. Receiver-operator curves plotted by the analyze.pgs.binary.predictiveness function depicting the performance of the PGSs from (B) to predict obesity status as a sole predictor (top) and with covariates age at diagnosis, sex, and the first 10 principal components of genetic ancestry (bottom). Positive obesity status is defined as BMI ≥ 30. E. From top to bottom: percentile rank of PGSs from (B) for each individual in ascending order, decile and quartile covariate bars, categorical phenotype covariate bars, and continuous phenotype heatmaps.

Ignore AI in #radiology at your peril, unfortunately.
Interestingly, however, as this (very small) report notes – *where* AI fits in the workflow might matter as far as a perceived "duty of care" to the a patient harmed by a missed diagnosis.

Rule 🥇: temporal leakage is a sin. You don't use the future to forecast the past.
Rule 🥈: don’t forecast what you can measure.
Rule 🥉: counterfactuals don’t get spoilers. If it knows what happened next, it's not a counterfactual. It’s fanfiction.
