Benjamin Djulbegovic is an American distinguished physician-scientist who serves as the director of the Hematology Stewardship Program in the Division of Hematology/Oncology at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC.[1] His academic and research focus revolves around optimizing clinical research and the practice of medicine by comprehending the nature of medical evidence and decision-making. He integrated concepts from evidence-based medicine (EBM), predictive analytics, health outcome research, and decision sciences.[2]
He has been consistently recognized in the top 1% of cited scientists worldwide.Шаблон:Citation needed He has been listed in Newsweek's Top Cancer Doctors and has been selected among the top 1% of US doctors in the field of hematology by the U.S. News & World Report since 2011.Шаблон:Citation needed
As of January 2024, he has over 52k citations, with an h-index of 78. He has authored over 400 papers in peer-reviewed journals, four books, over 200 abstracts and book chapters and editorials.[3]
Education
In 1983, Djulbegovic earned his medical degree and PhD in biomedical sciences from the University of Sarajevo. From 1983 to 1985, he received Master of Science degree in biophysics from the University of Zagreb and was trained in internal medicine and hematology at the University of Sarajevo, Belgrade and Christie Hospital, Machester, England. Subsequently, from 1988 to 1991, he completed his residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in Hematology and Medical Oncology at the University of Louisville School of Medicine.[4]
Career
From 2017 to 2023, he served as a professor at the City of Hope National Medical Center, Beckman Research Institute, CA. He also held the distinguished position of Distinguished Professor from 2010 to 2017 at the University of South Florida (USF), Tampa, Florida.[5]
His administrative portfolio further includes roles such as the Chief of the Division of Evidence-based Medicine and Health Outcomes (2013-2017) and the Director of the USF Center for Evidence-based Medicine and Health Outcome Research (2008-2011).[6] At the USF he founded Center for Evidence-based Medicine and Health Outcome Research where trained a cadre of researchers in evidence-based medicine.[7]
Linking evidence-based medicine with decision-making
Djulbegovic's work includes the coherent linkage of evidence-based medicine (EBM) to formal systems in decision sciences. His collaboration with colleague Iztok Hozo summarized their previous extensive work in the book "Threshold Models For Decision-Making in Clinical Medicine," published in 2023. This work demonstrates the logical connection between EBM and structured frameworks in decision sciences.[8]
These principles were translated into systematically application of science of EBM and decision analysis to the entire fields of hematology and oncology that resulted in two books.[2]
The law of therapeutic discoveries
Through the analysis of the role of uncertainty in medicine and the equipoise principle, Djulbegovic introduced the concept of "the law of therapeutic discovery." This theory predicts a 50-70% success rate in discovering new treatments in randomized clinical trials (RCT) based on the foundational ethical and scientific principles justification for conducting trials in humans.[9]
Rational clinical decision-making and development of "Acceptable Regret" theory
Together with Hozo, Djulbegovic developed the decision-theoretical concept of "acceptable regret." This concept allows clinicians, scientists, and policy-makers to determine when they can accept findings, even if proven wrong later. "Acceptable regret" has been used to explain both underuse and overuse in the delivery of health services, offering insights into decision-making process of satisficing in clinical practice.[10]
