Using preference learning for detecting inconsistencies in clinical practice guidelines: Methods and application to antibiotherapy

Résumé

Clinical practice guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations. However, many problems are reported, such as contradictions and inconsistencies. For example, guidelines recommend sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim in child sinusitis, but they also state that there is a high bacteria resistance in this context. In this paper, we propose a method for the semi-automatic detection of inconsistencies in guidelines using preference learning, and we apply this method to antibiotherapy in primary care. The preference model was learned from the recommendations and from a knowledge base describing the domain. We successfully built a generic model suitable for all infectious diseases and patient profiles. This model includes both preferences and necessary features. It allowed the detection of 106 candidate inconsistencies which were analyzed by a medical expert. 55 inconsistencies were validated. We showed that therapeutic strategies of guidelines in antibiotherapy can be formalized by a preference model. In conclusion, we proposed an original approach, based on preferences, for modeling clinical guidelines. This model could be used in future clinical decision support systems for helping physicians to prescribe antibiotics.
