RAG4Outcome: A Retrieval-Augmented Multimodal Framework for Prognostic Prediction in Chronic Osteomyelitis

arXiv:2605.22833v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chronic osteomyelitis presents substantial prognostic challenges due to its high recurrence risk and complex postoperative recovery trajectories. Traditional assessment often relies on manual scoring systems, which limit scalability, efficiency, and consistency in clinical practice. Furthermore, the heterogeneous nature of clinical data poses challenges for current multimodal learning approaches that require aligned inputs and large annotated datasets. In this work, we propose RAG4Outcome, a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework for pr
