Decision Support Skill</h1>\n<p>Professional clinical decision support documents for medical professionals in pharmaceutical and clinical research settings.</p>\n<h2>Quick Start</h2>\n<p>This skill generates two types of <strong>group-level</strong> clinical documents:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Patient Cohort Analysis</strong> - Biomarker-stratified group analyses with outcomes</li>\n<li><strong>Treatment Recommendation Reports</strong> - Evidence-based clinical guidelines with GRADE/ACCP grading</li>\n</ol>\n<p>All documents are generated as compact, professional LaTeX/PDF files.</p>\n<p>For <strong>individual patient</strong> treatment plans use <code>alterlab-treatment-plans</code>; for <strong>single-patient case reports</strong> use <code>alterlab-clinical-reports</code>.</p>\n<h2>Directory Structure</h2>\n<pre><code>alterlab-clinical-decision/\n├── SKILL.md                     # Main skill definition\n├── README.md

Analysis</h3>\n<pre><code>&gt; Analyze a cohort of 45 NSCLC patients stratified by PD-L1 expression \n  (&lt;1%, 1-49%, ≥50%) including ORR, PFS, and OS outcomes\n</code></pre>\n<h3>Generate Treatment Recommendations</h3>\n<pre><code>&gt; Create evidence-based treatment recommendations for HER2-positive \n  metastatic breast cancer with GRADE methodology\n</code></pre>\n<h3>Build Clinical Pathway</h3>\n<pre><code>&gt; Generate a clinical decision algorithm for acute chest pain \n  management with TIMI risk score\n</code></pre>\n<h2>Key Features</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GRADE Methodology</strong>: Evidence quality grading (High/Moderate/Low/Very Low)</li>\n<li><strong>Recommendation Strength</strong>: Strong (Grade 1) vs Conditional (Grade 2)</li>\n<li><strong>Biomarker Integration</strong>: Genomic, expression, and molecular subtype classification</li>\n<li><strong>Statistical Analysis</strong>: Kaplan-Meier, Cox regression, log-rank tests</li>\n<li><strong>Guideline Concordance</strong>: NCCN, ASCO, ESMO, AHA/ACC integration</li>\n<li><strong>Professional Output</strong>: 0.5in margins, color-coded boxes, publication-ready</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Dependencies</h2>\n<p>Python scripts require:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>pandas</code>, <code>numpy</code>, <code>scipy</code>: Data analysis and statistics</li>\n<li><code>lifelines</code>: Survival analysis (Kaplan-Meier, Cox regression)</li>\n<li><code>matplotlib</code>: Visualization</li>\n<li><code>pyyaml</code> (optional): YAML input for
