This article is the study protocol and statistical analysis plan for the project. This study is set up to identify and quantify "red flag" symptoms associated with the diagnosis of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasm (PNEN) and compare these with the symptoms associated with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The results of this study will inform the evidence base for the refinement of the QCancer (Pancreas) tools, which have been integrated into the UK NHS primary care computer systems, to improve the early recognition of PNEN.

Matching journals

The top 3 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
