Background:We evaluated the applicability of automated citation screening in developing clinical practice guidelines.Methods:We prospectively compared the efficiency of citation screening between the conventional (Rayyan) and semi-automated (ASReview software) methods. We searched the literature for five clinical questions (CQs) in the development of the Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock. Objective measurements of the time required to complete citation screening were recorded. Following the first screening round, in the primary analysis, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and overall screening time were calculated for both procedures using the semi-automated tool as index and the results of the conventional method as standard reference. In the secondary analysis, the same parameters were compared between the two procedures using the final list of included studies after the second screening session as standard reference.Results:Among the five CQs after the first screening session, the highest and lowest sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values were 0.241 and 0.795; 0.991 and 1.000; and 0.482 and 0.929, respectively. In the secondary analysis, the highest sensitivity and specificity in the semi-automated citation screening were 1.000 and 0.997, respectively. The overall screening time per 100 studies was significantly shorter with semi-automated than with conventional citation screening.Conclusions:The potential advantages of the semi-automated method (shorter screening time and higher discriminatory rate for the final list of studies) warrant further validation.Trial registration: This study was submitted to the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trial Registry (UMIN-CTR [UMIN000049366]).

Background: Heart rate (HR) predicts outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), whereas the impact of HR on outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of HR after resuscitation on outcomes after OHCA and whether the impact differs with OHCA etiology.Methods and Results: Of 16,452 patients suffering from OHCA, this study analyzed 741 adults for whom HR after resuscitation was recorded by 12-lead electrocardiogram upon hospital arrival. Etiology of OHCA was categorized into 3 groups: ACS, non-ACS, and non-cardiac. Patients in each etiology group were further divided into tachycardia (>100 beats/min) and non-tachycardia (≤100 beats/min). The impact of HR on outcomes was evaluated in each group. Among the 741 patients, the mean age was 67.6 years and 497 (67.1%) patients were male. The primary outcome – 3-month all-cause mortality – was observed in 55.8% of patients. Tachycardia after resuscitation in patients with ACS was significantly associated with higher all-cause mortality at 3 months (P=0.002), but there was no significant association between tachycardia and mortality in non-ACS and non-cardiac etiology patients. In a multivariate analysis model, the incidence of tachycardia after resuscitation independently predicted higher 3-month all-cause mortality in OHCA patients with ACS (hazard ratio: 2.17 [95% confidence interval: 1.05–4.48], P=0.04).Conclusions: Increased HR after resuscitation was associated with higher mortality only in patients with ACS.
