Inter-observer variation in the triage-process
Background Triage algorithms for sorting patients according to their severity of illness have recently been implemented at several emergency departments in Denmark. Clinical effectiveness and safety depend on standardization of the triage process. We implemented a 5-level triage algorithm for which triage nurses underwent an initial training. The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of ...
متن کاملClinical Optic Disc Evaluation in Glaucoma
Examination of the optic nerve head (ONH) is essential for the diagnosis of glaucoma and assessment of its progression. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy with a handheld lens is the best method of ONH examination since it provides good stereopsis and magnification. ONH stereo photographs are complementary and may identify findings missed on slit-lamp examination. As a result of its subjective nature, a s...
متن کاملInter-observer variation between pathologists in diffuse parenchymal lung disease.
BACKGROUND There have been few inter-observer studies of diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD), but the recent ATS/ERS consensus classification provides a basis for such a study. METHODS A method for categorising numerically the percentage likelihood of these differential diagnoses was developed, and the diagnostic confidence of pathologists using this classification and the reproducibility...
متن کاملOptic Disc Characteristics Assessed by Evaluation of Clinical Optic Disc Photographs in Glaucoma Patients
Purpose: To describe optic disc characteristics assessed by evaluation of clinical optic disc photographs and to utilize these findings to differentiate glaucoma patients and normal subjects. Patients and Methods: A total of 329 eyes of 329 glaucoma patients and 220 eyes of 220 normal subjects were included The disc diameter to disc-to-macula distance ratio (DD/DM ratio), cup-to-disc diameter r...
متن کاملClinical characteristics of nonglaucomatous optic disc cupping
Pathological optic disc cupping (ODC) is predominantly referred to as glaucoma; however, it is not only glaucoma that leads to pathological optic disc excavation. A number of other nonglaucomatous diseases also result in optic atrophy and excavation of the optic disc. Therefore, in the present study, the etiology of nonglaucomatous optic disc cupping (NGODC) was analyzed and differentiated from...
