Early diagnosis of heart failure improves patient outcomes, however diagnosis is complex and often delayed. This study evaluates a digital pathway for heart failure diagnosis, showing it reduces time to diagnosis and treatment initiation, with an incremental cost of {pound}5,700 per quality adjusted life-year (QALY) gained over a lifetime. The pathway is cost-effective for the UK National Health Service at {pound}20,000 per QALY threshold, however data uncertainties remain.

"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.
