What it measures

PMC-Patients tests retrieval-based clinical decision support, not diagnosis from scratch. The query is an English patient summary taken from a PMC case report. PAR must rank PubMed title/abstract records that the citation graph marks relevant. PPR must rank other patient summaries marked similar. Labels are 2 or 1 from citation distance, not from a clinician re-reading the chart. Both tasks share the query split and use BEIR-style queries, corpus, and qrels.

Task format

English text retrieval. Query: patient summary. PAR corpus: PubMed title+abstract. PPR corpus: other patient notes. Train/dev/test splits.
