Towards integrating personalized feedback research into clinical practice: Development of the Trier Treatment Navigator (TTN)
Abstract
In this study, a computer-based feedback, decision and clinical problem-solving system for clinical practice will be described - the Trier Treatment Navigator (TTN). The paper deals with the underlying research concepts related to personalized pre-treatment recommendations for drop-out risk and optimal treatment strategy selection as well as personalized adaptive recommendations during treatment. The development sample consisted of 1234 patients treated with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Modern statistical machine learning techniques were used to develop personalized recommendations. Drop-out analyses resulted in seven significant predictors explaining 12.0% of variance. The prediction of optimal treatment strategies resulted in differential prediction models substantially improving effect sizes and reliable improvement rates. The dynamic failure boundary reliably identified patients with a higher risk for no improvement or deterioration and indicated the usage of clinical problem-solving tools in risk areas. The probability to be reliably improved for patients identified as at risk for treatment failure was about half of the probability for other patients (35% vs. 62.15%; χ 2df=1 = 82.77, p < .001). Results related to the computer-based feedback system are discussed with regard to the implication for clinical applications as well as clinical training and future research possibilities.

“First, based on the patient's initial characteristics and a dataset of already treated patients, the TTN predicts the optimal treatment strategy (i.e., problem-solving, motivation-oriented or mixed) for the individual patient.”

In the citing paper
“When the alert of one of these areas is activated, the therapist can access the CSTs that guide how to address that particular area (e.g., a clinical guideline on how to work on motivation to change).”

“The TTN offers personalized clinical recommendations, helps monitor the process and provides clinical support tools (CSTs) for patients who are not improving as expected.”

“Second, during treatment, the feedback system comprises an expected treatment response (i.e., predicted trajectory of progress for the patient) and a dynamic failure boundary informed by specific patient's pre-treatment features and the experienced change progress.”

“Additionally, the TTN estimates the patient dropout probability and offers the results of the psychometrical initial assessment.”
From Data-Informed Case Formulation with the Trier Treatment Navigator (2022) · cites this paper as Lutz et al., 2019
In the citing paper
“When a patient is not progressing as expected, the TTN generates an alert signal, and CSTs are activated according to the assessment of critical areas that might hinder the change process (i.e., suicidality risk, motivation to change and therapy goals, therapeutic alliance, social support and critical life events, emotionand self-regulation).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
