摘要

PhysioNet 开放存取数据库 (PND) 是世界上最大、最全面的生物信号数据存储库之一,被研究人员广泛用于开发、训练和验证算法。要使这些算法的结果符合实际情况,了解数据的基本人口分布至关重要,特别是研究参与者的种族、民族、性别和年龄。我们试图了解 PND 数据集人口统计数据的基本报告模式和特征。截至 2023 年 7 月 6 日,PND 上有 181 个独特的数据集,其中 175 个涉及人类参与者,只有不到 7% 的研究报告了所有四个关键人口统计学变量。此外,我们发现报告性别和年龄的比例高于报告种族和民族的比例。在包含参与者性别的研究中,样本大多为男性。此外,我们发现大多数研究都是在北美进行的,尤其是美国。这些不平衡和代表性报告的不足引起了人们对依赖于这些数据集的算法中潜在的嵌入式偏见的担忧。它们还强调了普遍和全面报告实践的必要性,以确保医学中人工智能和机器学习工具的公平开发和部署。

Demographic reporting in biosignal datasets: a comprehensive analysis of the PhysioNet open access database
The PhysioNet open access database (PND) is one of the world's largest and most comprehensive repositories of biosignal data and is widely used by researchers to develop, train, and validate algorithms. To contextualise the results of such algorithms, understanding the underlying demographic distribution of the data is crucial—specifically, the race, ethnicity, sex or gender, and age of study participants. We sought to understand the underlying reporting patterns and characteristics of the demographic data of the datasets available on PND. Of the 181 unique datasets present in the PND as of July 6, 2023, 175 involved human participants, with less than 7% of studies reporting on all four of the key demographic variables. Furthermore, we found a higher rate of reporting sex or gender and age than race and ethnicity. In the studies that did include participant sex or gender, the samples were mostly male. Additionally, we found that most studies were done in North America, particularly in the USA. These imbalances and poor reporting of representation raise concerns regarding potential embedded biases in the algorithms that rely on these datasets. They also underscore the need for universal and comprehensive reporting practices to ensure equitable development and deployment of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools in medicine.
