Evidence Based Mental Health, 2014
This is the second of a series of evidence-based case conferences. The main aim of this new series of papers is help clinicians learn and apply the evidence-based approach in their own clinical practices. The clinical question that we seek to solve in each of this series emanates from a real clinical case.

Veterinary Parasitology, 2007
Interpretation of the result of a diagnostic test depends not only on the actual test result(s) but also on information external to this result, namely the test's sensitivity and specificity. This external information (also called prior information) must be combined with the data to yield the so-called updated, posterior estimates of the true ...

Appropriateness of diagnostics tests
International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, 2016SummaryThe evolution of the concept of ‘appropriateness’, in the three past decades, from ‘no harm’ and ‘no waste’ to ‘medical decision‐making’ and ‘determining outcomes’ highlights two main points: its foundation is evidence‐based medicine, and it is a quality of every phase of the total testing process, not only for the selection of tests ...

Biometrics, 1981
Diagnostic tests, regarded as methods of classification, are rarely perfect. Classification error and competing technologies require careful evaluation of diagnostic tests, usually by comparison to some standard. Conditional probabilities of correct classification, called 'sensitivity' and 'specificity', are typically used as evaluative measures.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND DEMENTIA
Neurologic Clinics, 1996The prevalence of dementia is expected to increase markedly as our population ages. Although only a minority of cases currently are found to have treatable causes, the personal and financial costs of misdiagnosis are great. Furthermore, progress in developing effective therapy hinges on accurate diagnosis.

Experientia, 1956
1° Une modification de la reaction de Feulgen est decrite. En l'utilisant, on constate que les serums des personnes normales prennent une couleur differente de celle des serums des personnes cancereuses. 2° En appliquant l'electrophorese sur papier, avec Veronalborate tamponne, on a decele la presence d'un gamma-globuline atypique dans les serums des ...

The interpretation of diagnostic tests
Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 1999Laboratory diagnostic tests are central in the practice of modern medicine. Common uses include screening a specific population for evidence of disease and confirming or ruling out a tentative diagnosis in an individual patient. The interpretation of a diagnostic test result depends on both the ability of the test to distinguish diseased from ...

Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2000Clinicians can now base clinical decisions on the results of rigorous studies of the performance of diagnostic tests. In selecting the tests, clinicians should take into account their sensitivity (the proportion of patients with the disease who have a positive test result) and specificity (the proportion of patients without disease who have a negative ...

DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR HEADACHE
Medical Clinics of North America, 2001A careful and complete headache history supplemented by a neurologic and general physical examination, as appropriate, enables the astute physician to diagnose most headaches correctly without diagnostic testing. When indications are present (see Box 1), some headache patients with a normal physical examination require testing even though the yield may
