Diagnostic Accuracy Under Congestion
Management Science, 2013In diagnostic services, agents typically need to weigh the benefit of running an additional test and improving the accuracy of diagnosis against the cost of delaying the provision of services to others. Our paper analyzes how to dynamically manage this accuracy/congestion trade-off.

Diagnostic Accuracy in Pediatric Appendicitis
PEDIATRICS, 2004To 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 in Presenile Dementia
British Journal of Psychiatry, 1979SummaryA 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).

Clinical decision making while making a diagnosis is based on pre-test probability evaluation, a decision whether further tests are needed, and post-test probability evaluation based on test results. The add value of the test is the increase in probability, which depends on its diagnostic accuracy.

Measuring the Accuracy of Diagnostic Systems
Science, 1988Diagnostic systems of several kinds are used to distinguish between two classes of events, essentially "signals" and "noise." For them, analysis in terms of the "relative operating characteristic" of signal detection theory provides a precise and valid measure of diagnostic accuracy.

The Accuracy of Diagnostic Radiology
JAMA, 1968Cancer of the kidney frequently presents without overt signs or symptoms. Almost one third of such patients, in our experience, do not have signs or symptoms suggesting renal disease. Many patients with unsuspected renal neoplasms are discovered to have a renal mass during some nonurologic roentgenographic examination.

Diagnostic accuracy of MRCP in choledocholithiasis.
La Radiologia medica, 2005To evaluate the accuracy of MRCP in diagnosing choledocholithiasis considering Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) as the gold standard. To compare the results achieved during the first two years of use (1999-2000) of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in patients with suspected choledocholithiasis with those achieved ...

Diagnostic Tests and Diagnostic Accuracy in Surgery
2010This chapter outlines the principles of designing, performing and interpreting high quality studies of diagnostic test accuracy. The basic concepts of diagnostic test accuracy, including sensitivity, spec-ificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), likelihood ratios (LRs) and predictive values, are explained.
