Mismanaging Diagnostic Accuracy Under Congestion

Operations Research, 2022
Diagnostic processes are difficult to manage because they require the decision maker (DM) to dynamically balance the benefit of acquiring more diagnostic information against the cost of doing so. When additional and unattended diagnostic tasks build up over time, making this tradeoff becomes especially challenging.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Xeromammography

Tumori Journal, 1981
The analytical study of the case material has allowed a precise evaluation of the distribution by age groups of the different pathologic processes of the breast, of the localization and dimensions of malignant tumors, as well as the diagnostic accuracy for those cases histologically ascertained and those with a follow-up.

Diagnostic accuracy of CE Chirp

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 2020
There has been an increase in the use of the CE-Chirp stimulus in automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) equipment for neonatal hearing screening. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the LS CE-Chirp-evoked auditory brainstem response (ABR) compared to the click-evoked ABR for the identification of different degrees

Enhancing and Evaluating Diagnostic Accuracy

Medical Decision Making, 1991
Techniques that may enhance diagnostic accuracy in clinical settings were tested in the context of mammography. Statistical information about the relevant features among those visible in a mammogram and about their relative importances in the diagnosis of breast cancer was the basis of two decision aids for radiologists: a checklist that guides the ra

Diagnostic Accuracy in Pediatric Appendicitis

PEDIATRICS, 2004
To the Editor .— Smink et al1 analyzed the Kids’ Inpatient Database and found that pediatric appendicitis misdiagnosis rates were lower in hospitals with higher annual appendectomy volumes. They suggested that successful practices from highest-volume hospitals could be disseminated to “improve the diagnosis of appendicitis throughout the pediatric ...

Diagnostic accuracy of pancreatic scanning

The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1972
Pancreatic scans of 200 patients have been analyzed and presented. The pancreatic scan must be rigidly controlled technically if its maximum clinical value is to be achieved. An unequivocally normal pancreatic scan is strong evidence that the acinar portion of the gland is normal. In our experience, 89.5% of the patients who had normal pancreatic scans

Diagnostic accuracy in cytopathology

Diagnostic Cytopathology, 1994
Cytopathologic diagnoses play an important role in clinical decision making. As a result, the tests that produce material for cytopathologic interpretation must be evaluated critically and carefully. One way to evaluate these tests is by the assessment of diagnostic accuracy.

Interpreting Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies

Seminars in Hematology, 2008
A central phase in the evaluation of a medical test is the assessment of its diagnostic accuracy: the degree to which the test results correspond to those of the clinical reference standard. There are several methods by which the results of diagnostic accuracy studies can be summarized, reported, and interpreted.

Diagnostic Accuracy in Presenile Dementia

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1979
SummaryA follow-up study of patients diagnosed as suffering from presenile dementia has revealed a high incidence of erroneous diagnoses. Of 52 patients discharged from hospital with this diagnosis, information was obtained 5–15 years later on 51. Eighteen were alive and the diagnosis was rejected in 16 (31 per cent).
