An evaluation of the replicability of analyses using synthetic health data
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patter.2024.100946
The study considered two different types of generative models and also looked at the impact of data amplification.
Some interesting observations include that: when analyzed properly, data amplification has marginal value for improving the replicability of statistical analyses, replicability is maximized when ten synthetic datasets are generated and the resultant models are combined (as one does with multiple imputation), and that replicability does vary quite a bit with the type of generative model.

Peak performance in surgery: how machine learning can improve surgical performance
DOI: https://doi.org/10.62463/surgery.15
Surgical research is associated with specific methodological and practical challenges related to the assessment of complex interventions and variation of clinical equipoise. Biases can, to some degree, be overcome by randomisation, blinding, and intervention standardisation, although randomised trials can be costly and time-consuming.
This poses a unique opportunity for innovation in surgical research design and evaluation trials and their assessment.
