Data Set on Accuracy of Symptom Checker Apps in 2020

These two data sets present the accuracy of triage (disposition) and diagnostic advice of symptom checker apps sampled in 2020. The sample consists of 22 commonly used symptom checker apps, of which 14 also provide diagnostic advice. The apps were tested on 45 case vignettes, i.e. fictitious descriptions of patients. As not every app was able to appraise every vignette our study yielded a total of 796 unique triage evaluations and 520 unique diagnostic evaluations. The data sets are a supplement to the paper "Triage Accuracy of Symptom Checker Apps: A Five-year Follow-up Evaluation" (doi: 10.2196/31810). The was collected by Anna Dames as partial requirement for her MSc degree in Human Factors in the Department of Psychology and Ergonomics (IPA) at Technische Universität Berlin. The clinical vignettes were originally compiled and modified by Semigran et al. in 2015 (https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.h3480), and further adapted by Hill et al. (2020) (doi: 10.5694/mja2.50600) and in the study these data sets are supplement to (doi: 10.2196/31810).本两套数据集收录了2020年采样的症状检查器应用（symptom checker apps）的分诊（triage，disposition）准确性与诊断建议表现数据。本次采样共纳入22款常用症状检查器应用，其中14款同时提供诊断建议服务。研究团队采用45份临床病例模拟场景（case vignettes）——即虚构的患者病情描述——对上述应用进行测试。由于并非每款应用均可完成所有模拟场景的评估，本研究最终共获得796份独立分诊评估结果与520份独立诊断评估结果。本数据集为论文《症状检查器应用的分诊准确性：五年追踪评估》（"Triage Accuracy of Symptom Checker Apps: A Five-year Follow-up Evaluation"，doi: 10.2196/31810）的补充资料。本两套数据集由Anna Dames完成采集，作为其在柏林工业大学（Technische Universität Berlin）心理与工效学系（IPA，Department of Psychology and Ergonomics）攻读人因工程方向硕士学位的部分成果要求。临床病例模拟场景最初由Semigran等人于2015年编制并修改（https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.h3480），后经Hill等人（2020年）进一步调整完善（doi: 10.5694/mja2.50600），并作为本数据集对应的上述研究论文（doi: 10.2196/31810）的补充资料。
