{"title":"Assessment of Topics Published in Leading Medical Journals Using Natural Language Processing","authors":"S. A. Alryalat, Ahmad Qasem, Karam Albdour, Badi Rawashdeh","doi":"10.59707/hymrhmdo2739","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59707/hymrhmdo2739","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Topic detection can be used to identify trends in literature, providing valuable insight into the direction of the field. We developed a natural language processing (NLP) based method to identify topics from given abstracts and assessed the main topics of published articles by top medical journals in the last three years. \u0000Methods: This study utilized a two-part methodology to extract and classify original articles published by four non-specialized medical journals; Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, and British Medical Journal. The first part employed bibliometric data collection to search for original articles published between 2020 and 2022. The second part used an NLP approach based on the BERTopic model to classify the articles included into separate topics. \u0000Results: The model was able to classify 1,540 articles out of the included 2,081 (79.42%) into 39 different topics in 11 fields. COVID-19-related and cancer treatment-related articles constituted approximately 25% and 7% of all published papers during 2020-2022 respectively. The study found that each of the included general medical journal tended to focus on certain topics more than others. \u0000Conclusion: We identified a new methodology that can identify topics discussed in medical literature from abstracts as an input. We also demonstrated the potential of this methodology for analyzing trends in medical literature more efficiently and effectively. This study's methodology can be replicated on a larger scale with more papers, more journals, and over a longer period, highlighting the importance of further research using NLP models.","PeriodicalId":335220,"journal":{"name":"High Yield Medical Reviews","volume":"100 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122883396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this, there is a limited understanding of the scope and nature of smoking research in Jordan. In this scoping review, we assessed the status of research on smoking in Jordan, identifying research gaps and opportunities for future studies, and informing the development of evidence-based interventions to reduce smoking prevalence and related health harms in the country.\u0000Methods \u0000We searched Scopus database to identify papers covering various aspects of smoking research in Jordan, including nicotine, smoke, cigarette, tobacco, and waterpipe. We assessed several outcomes, including sample characteristics size, data characteristics included data type (quantitative, qualitative), data collection methodology (survey, clinical measurements) and data collection sites.\u0000Results \u0000From 410 studies screened, we included 125 studies. We classified included studies according to the main topics covered in the articles, where 32 studies assessed the clinical impact of smoking, 24 studies assessed aspects of smoking cessation, 19 articles included the perception and knowledge of smoking, 19 studied the prevalence of different types of smoking in different age population, 16 articles studied the factors affecting smoking, 9 studied the relation with oral health, diseases, and cancer, 6 of them handled different aspects of smoking and smoking research tools and training of healthcare workers.\u0000Conclusions \u0000This scoping review provided valuable insights into the various aspects of smoking research among Jordanians and highlighted gaps where research is needed. The results can be used to inform policies and programs on areas of needed evidence.","PeriodicalId":335220,"journal":{"name":"High Yield Medical Reviews","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125455370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Well-designed and reported meta-analyses provide valuable information to clinicians and policymakers. However, researchers face several hurdles in the process of conducting meta-analyses. The analysis process is one of these obstacles, particularly when the included studies report their outcomes using different outcome measures. This study aims to provide authors and researchers with a guide that can help them overcome the struggle of incorporating different outcome measures into the analysis. This article also intends to serve as an author’s guide to the key methods used to convert effect measures, the assumptions required for that, and the hierarchy for using these methods.","PeriodicalId":335220,"journal":{"name":"High Yield Medical Reviews","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132102226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
