Abstract:
|
The effectiveness and value of diagnostic tests is coming under intense scrutiny in the era of Affordable Health Care Act (AHCA). This is partly because the evaluation of diagnostic tests and biomarkers poses special methodologic challenges and does not have the benefit of a fully developed paradigm. Tests generate information, which is subsequently incorporated into further diagnostic and therapeutic decision making. As a result, most effects of diagnostic information are mediated by therapeutic decisions. In this presentation we will review current work in CER for diagnosis and prediction and will focus on the design and analysis of clinical studies.
