Research Generalizability
Research gap analysis derived from 8 medicine papers in our local library.
The gap
The need for multi-center studies to address potential referral bias and ensure generalizability of findings in various healthcare settings.
Consensus across the literature
Papers collectively highlight limitations due to single-center designs, which may not be representative of broader populations or contexts.
Research trend
Emerging — attention growing, methods still coalescing.
