Medical reversals in healthcare: factors, assessment, quantification
This collection welcomes methodological analyses of cases of medical reversal or other low-value medical practices in any medical domain and covers studies on factors leading to or contributing to, analytical methods used to assess and quantify it, and ways to mitigate and prevent it. Applied studies highlighting more general methodological implications are also welcome. The focus should be on the used methodology, answering the question of how a certain methodology has contributed to unveil a low-value medical practice.
