Bayesian Network Models of Causal Interventions in Healthcare Decision Making: Literature Review and Software Evaluation
This is an incremental study that reviews and tests existing tools for healthcare professionals and researchers.
The authors conducted a systematic literature review to identify Bayesian network models for healthcare decision-making and evaluated a causal interventional analysis software tool on selected models, reporting preliminary results.
This report summarises the outcomes of a systematic literature search to identify Bayesian network models used to support decision making in healthcare. After describing the search methodology, the selected research papers are briefly reviewed, with the view to identify publicly available models and datasets that are well suited to analysis using the causal interventional analysis software tool developed in Wang B, Lyle C, Kwiatkowska M (2021). Finally, an experimental evaluation of applying the software on a selection of models is carried out and preliminary results are reported.
