Hindsight Bias in Clinical Temporal Reasoning: How Future Data Exposure Affects Large Language Model Judgment

The paper introduces a paired benchmark to detect hindsight bias in clinical language models by comparing model responses to questions posed at a clinically relevant cutoff versus the full timeline. It uses 171 case reports (40 sepsis, 131 GLP‑1/diabetes) with both human‑annotated and LLM‑generated time‑series data, evaluating accuracy, hindsight trap rate, answer instability rate, and hindsight bias rate. Results show that exposing models to the full timeline consistently increases hindsight bias, while truncating the timeline mitigates bias without sacrificing accuracy.

STRIVE: Multi-Agent Structured Temporal Reasoning with Integrated Verification for Longitudinal Radiology Report Generation

STRIVE is a new framework for longitudinal radiology report generation that separates clinical reasoning into distinct Diagnosis, Attribute, and Temporal Change agents, each producing explicit evidence. The Temporal Change agent is refined with a Progression-Aware GRPO reward that differentiates direction-preserving errors from reversals. Verification occurs twice: a Consistency Gate aligns agent outputs before report generation, and a Validation Agent ensures the final report is supported by the aggregated evidence. On the Longitudinal-MIMIC dataset, STRIVE achieves superior clinical efficacy and more than doubles Longitudinal Change Concordance compared to the strongest baseline.
