Assessing TDApp: An AI-based clinical decision support system for ADHD treatment recommendations

Introduction Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have several limitations, namely: obsolescence, lack of personalization, and insufficient patient participation. These factors may contribute to suboptimal treatment recommendation compliance and poorer clinical outcomes. APPRAISE-RS is an adaptation...

APPRAISE-RS is an adaptation of the GRADE heuristic designed to generate CPG-like treatment recommendations that are automated, updated, personalized, participatory, and explanatory using a symbolic AI approach.

In both studies a total of 33 and 32 ADHD patients, respectively, requiring treatment initiation or a major treatment change were enrolled. TDApp recommendations were compared to those of selected CPGs (American Academy of Pediatrics, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, Spanish Health System, Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance, and the Australasian ADHD Professionals Association) CPGs. The diversity of treatment recommendations was analyzed using Blau's index. Concordance between TDApp and CPGs recommendations was assessed by calculating the proportion of patients for whom TDApp recommended one drug that was also endorsed by CPGs.

TDApp evaluated over 10 drugs, including recently marketed ones, with amphetamine derivatives emerging as the most frequently recommended interventions. TDApp generated 8-12 distinct treatment recommendations with a diversity index of 0.70-0.88, which was higher than those of CPGs.
