Effectiveness of an AI Software for Limb Radiographic Fracture Recognition in an ED

Limb Radiographs

The study on "Effectiveness of an Artificial Intelligence Software for Limb Radiographic Fracture Recognition in an Emergency Department" was published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.

Objective:

Assessment of the impact of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) limb bone fracture diag-4 nosis software (AIS) on emergency department (ED) workflow and diagnostic accuracy.

Methods:

A retrospective study was conducted in two phases: without AIS (Period 1: January 1, 2020 - June 30, 2020) and with AIS (Period 2: January 1, 2021 - June 30, 2021).

Results:

Among 3720 patients (1780 in Period 1, 1940 in Period 2), the discrepancy rate decreased by 17% (p = 0.04) after AIS implementation. Clinically relevant discrepancies showed no significant change (-1.8%, p = 0.99). The mean length of stay in the ED was reduced by 9 minutes (p = 0.03), and expert consultation rates decreased by 1% (p = 0.38).

Conclusion:

AIS implementation reduced the overall discrepancy rate and slightly decreased ED length of stay, although its impact on clinically relevant discrepancies remains inconclusive.
