https://doi.org/10.51523/2708-6011.2008-5-4-2

Abstract

A prominent aspect of evidence based medicine is completeness and accuracy of data presentation. Article purpose is the short review of principles of evidence based medicine in the researches devoted to accuracy of diagnostic tests. Diagnostic tests are used in medicine to screen for diagnose, grade, and monitor the progression of disease. Diagnostic information is obtained from a multitude of sources, including sings, symptoms and special investigations. This article concentrates on the dimensions of study quality and the advantages of different summary statistics with logistic regression and ROC-analysis.
