La presente investigación evaluó la aplicación de algoritmos de Machine Learning en el laboratorio clínico RedLab Perú S.A.C., con el objetivo de optimizar la precisión y la rapidez en los diagnósticos clínicos. Se utilizaron algoritmos supervisados como regresión logística y árboles de decisión, aplicados a datos recolectados y preprocesados del sistema interno del laboratorio, los cuales fueron evaluados mediante métricas como precisión, sensibilidad y especificidad. Los resultados demostraron que los árboles de decisión destacaron entre los modelos empleados, logrando niveles de precisión entre el 98% y el 99%, reduciendo significativamente los tiempos de análisis y mejorando la calidad de los diagnósticos clínicos. Además, la implementación de estas herramientas tecnológicas permitió optimizar los flujos de trabajo, evidenciando su potencial para transformar l...

OBJECTIVE: To identify personal, institutional and contextual factors involved in the scientific papers production process by Medical School researchers. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 1) The San Marcos University Research Activities Registry (RAIS) data base created by the Research Council (CSI); and 2) In depth interviews of intentionally selected informers inquiring about various aspects of the scientific production process. RESULTS: During the period 1990 through 2001 from 994 faculty members, 149 (15%) published scientific papers in journals and registered them in the RAIS. Their profile was: males 62%; mean age 58; physicians 2 out of 3; with Doctor or Master Degree and either exclusive dedication or full time faculty 1 of every 2; attached to Research Center/ Institute 60%. The interviews qualitative analysis highlighted the consensus that scientific studies results should be published, bu...

Objective: To describe trends in scientific production by reviewing articles published by Medical School researchers. Materila and method: San Marcos Research Activities Registry (RAIS) database and RAIS registered articles file were analyzed in relation to number of authors, participating institutions and funding sources. Qualitative analysis of key informants interviews database was done as well. Results: Four hundred sixty-two articles were published between 1991-2000. Trends between the first and second five-year period were characterized by decline in: 1) volume of articles; 2) number of articles with both one single author and six or more authors; 3) cooperation between institutions; 4) funds, notwithstanding university funding increased in 60%. Qualitative information describes some research characteristics at different times of the institution’s history. Conclusions: Scientific...

OBJECTIVE: To assess quality of the scientific production of UNMSM Medical School researchers. MATERIAL AND METHODS: San Marcos Research Activities Registry (RAIS) database and full text articles of journals 1991-2000 registered in RAIS. Four hundred and sixty-two articles were categorized and those corresponding to studies were separated. From these a random sample of 20% (n=59) was selected and peer reviewed using Vancouver style as quality standard. Score was assigned to each part of the publication in order to measure inter-rater reliability and to categorize results of the assessment. RESULTS: Inter-rater reliability coefficient varied among sections of the publication; 71,2% of the studies were rated as good-excellent but 80% did not describe statistical procedure and 85% did not communicate ethical issues. CONCLUSION: Vancouver guidelines for the format of articles was useful in o...
