作者：

Highlights：

• Review the domain of Bayesian networks (BN) in healthcare.

• Evaluate: (1) targeted decision support; (2) modelling approach; (3) usefulness in practice.

• Provide an analytical framework for comprehensively characterise the domain and its current state.

• Highlight neglected issues, like restricted BN aims, ad hoc BN development methods, and lack of BN adoption in practice.

• Map the way forward by proposing future research directions.
