Flexible combination of multiple diagnostic biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy
BACKGROUND In medical research, it is common to collect information of multiple continuous biomarkers to improve the accuracy of diagnostic tests. Combining the measurements of these biomarkers into one single score is a popular practice to integrate the collected information, where the accuracy of the resultant diagnostic test is usually improved. To measure the accuracy of a diagnostic test, ...
متن کاملCognitive interventions to reduce diagnostic error: a narrative review.
BACKGROUND Errors in clinical reasoning occur in most cases in which the diagnosis is missed, delayed or wrong. The goal of this review was to identify interventions that might reduce the likelihood of these cognitive errors. DESIGN We searched PubMed and other medical and non-medical databases and identified additional literature through references from the initial data set and suggestions f...
متن کاملHow to Improve Diagnostic Accuracy in Suspicious Ampullary Lesions?
cases of ampullary lesions, differential diagnosis between tumors and inflammation by endoscopic findings is sometimes challenging. Even if operators have experience in endo-scopic techniques, diagnostic accuracy by gross morphology is only 67%. Although histologic evaluation of ampullary le-sions with forceps biopsy is performed during endoscopy, there is still a risk of false negativity for t...
متن کاملA min-max combination of biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy.
Diagnostic accuracy can be improved considerably by combining multiple biomarkers. Although the likelihood ratio provides optimal solution to combination of biomarkers, the method is sensitive to distributional assumptions which are often difficult to justify. Alternatively simple linear combinations can be considered whose empirical solution may encounter intensive computation when the number ...
متن کاملMeasurement of Phospholipids May Improve Diagnostic Accuracy in Ovarian Cancer
BACKGROUND More than two-thirds of women who undergo surgery for suspected ovarian neoplasm do not have cancer. Our previous results suggest phospholipids as potential biomarkers of ovarian cancer. In this study, we measured the serum levels of multiple phospholipids among women undergoing surgery for suspected ovarian cancer to identify biomarkers that better predict whether an ovarian mass is...
