Systematic reviews (SRs) employ standardized methodological processes for synthesizing empirical evidence to answer specific research questions. These processes include rigorous screening phases to determine eligibility of articles against strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. Despite these processes, SRs are a significant undertaking, and this type of research often necessitates extensive human resource requirements, especially when the scope of the review is large. Given the substantial resources and time commitment required, we investigated a way in which the screening process might be accelerated while maintaining high fidelity and adherence to SR processes. More recently, researchers have turned to artificial intelligence-based (AI) software to expedite the screening process. This paper evaluated the agreement and usability of a novel machine learning program, Sciome SWIFT-ActiveScreener (ActiveScreener), in a large SR of mental health outcomes following treatment for PTSD. ActiveScreener exceeded the expected 95% agreement of the program with screeners to predict inclusion or exclusion of relevant articles at the title/abstract assessment phase of the review and was reported to be user friendly by both novice and seasoned screeners. ActiveScreener, when used appropriately, may be a useful tool when performing SR in a clinical context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
