Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS)

Intelligent assistant for the doctor: structuring the clinical picture, generating diagnostic hypotheses, forming checklists for anamnesis collection, and identifying risk factors.

Attention: the system is an auxiliary tool (Second Opinion). The final verification of the diagnosis and choice of treatment tactics is the exclusive prerogative of the attending physician.

Implementation Benefits

Appointment Time Optimization

Automatic preparation of a structured summary and examination plan allows the doctor to focus on the patient, not on documentation.

Protocol Standardization

Ensuring a unified standard for maintaining medical documentation and diagnosis formulations throughout the clinic network.

Reduction of Diagnostic Errors

The system "highlights" non-obvious connections and rare pathologies, minimizing the risk of missing important symptoms.

Safe Generation Principles

Algorithms are configured to form probabilistic judgments, excluding categorical statements. CDSS response structure:

  • Diagnostic Hypotheses: ranked list of probable pathologies.
  • Anamnesis (Checklist): list of questions to clarify the clinical picture.
  • Examination Plan: recommendations for laboratory and instrumental diagnostics.
  • Red Flags: markers of conditions requiring emergency response.

Result (Profile: Doctor)

CLINICAL SUMMARY
Patient: Male, 42 years old.
Leading syndromes: Metabolic syndrome, asthenic syndrome, dyslipidemia, Vitamin D deficiency.

1. Summary of Current Status
The clinical picture and laboratory data correspond to the criteria of metabolic syndrome.
Identified:
— Impaired fasting glycemia (Glucose 6.1 mmol/L) against the background of hyperinsulinemia (14.5 mcIU/mL). Calculated HOMA-IR index ≈ 3.9 (norm < 2.7), confirming pronounced insulin resistance.
— Atherogenic dyslipidemia: Increased TC (6.8), LDL (4.2), TG (2.1) with decreased HDL (0.9).
— Hyperhomocysteinemia (14 µmol/L) as an additional CV risk factor.
— Vitamin D deficiency (19 ng/mL).
— Slight eosinophilia (6.5%).

2. Anamnesis (Clarify with Patient)
To verify risks and etiology, it is necessary to clarify:
— Heredity: Type 2 diabetes, early CVD (heart attacks/strokes before 55 years) in first-line relatives.
— Blood pressure: Presence of episodes of increased BP (to verify metabolic syndrome criteria).
— Dietary habits: Consumption of simple carbohydrates, alcohol, frequency of meals (snacking).
— Sleep: Presence of snoring or apnea episodes (OSAS), given complaints of poor sleep, fatigue, and abdominal obesity.
— Allergy history: Presence of allergic reactions (in the context of eosinophilia).

3. Red Flags (Exclude)
— CVD: Exclude IHD (angina pectoris), given high lipid profile and homocysteine.
— OSAS (Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome): High probability with a combination of obesity, poor sleep, and daytime sleepiness.
— NAFLD: Exclude steatohepatitis (despite normal transaminases, the risk of steatosis is high).

4. Examination Plan (Proposal)
Laboratory Diagnostics:
— Vitamins B9 (folic acid) and B12 (to clarify the genesis of hyperhomocysteinemia).
— Total IgE + stool for worm eggs/protozoa (diff. diagnosis of eosinophilia: parasitosis vs allergy).
Instrumental Diagnostics:
— Ultrasound of abdominal organs (assessment of signs of fatty hepatosis).
— BP monitoring (diary or ABPM).
— ECG (screening).

5. Potential Therapeutic Goals
— Correction of insulin resistance: Lifestyle modification (low GI diet, physical activity), consideration of Metformin prescription (if indicated and no contraindications).
— Lipid-lowering therapy: Assessment by SCORE2 scale. Consideration of statin therapy or fibrates (with TG dominance), or correction with diet + Omega-3 in the first line.
— Correction of deficiencies:
  • Vitamin D (loading dose with transition to maintenance).
  • B Vitamins (to lower homocysteine).
