“…This systematic review and meta -analysis were conducted to estimate the predictive accuracy and efficiency of artificial intelligence-based deep learning networks and algorithms in the early detection of pneumonia. A total of 13 articles ( Swaminathan et al, 2016 , Smith et al, 2018 , Correa et al, 2018 , Kermany et al, 2018 , Hwang et al, 2019 , Wu et al, 2020 , Hashmi et al, 2021 , Hsu et al, 2022 , Ortiz-Toro et al, 2022 ; Ukwuoma et al, 2022; Ali, 2023 , Meena et al, 2023 , Rajput et al, 2023 ) were included in the meta -analysis. Twelve studies examined the role of deep learning models in the early detection of pneumonia and one study predicted target drug concentrations for the treatment of tuberculosis.…”
