Pico

The PICO framework is a crucial tool for formulating specific clinical questions from randomized controlled trials, encompassing patient characteristics, intervention, comparison, and outcome assessment. This framework helps evidence-based practitioners quickly and accurately construct research questions and search terms, enhancing the specificity and conceptual clarity of clinical questions, and facilitating more complex and precise search strategies. The application of machine learning and natural language processing technologies can significantly improve the efficiency of automatically identifying PICO elements, further optimizing evidence-based medical practice.
