The actual “scans” offered include blood tests, photometry and a bunch of other investigational modalities. The question remains - but why? Your GP for much less can provide the necessary tests without causing extra stress for incidentalomas #pretestprobability
@Margazhi_ta In general, I don't think we do ACE anymore...neither sensitive nor specific, doesn't correlate with activity. Plus, there're #granulomas, the #PreTestProbability is such that a negative is irrelevant (it's not specific to sarcoid). Stains for sure (I literally just got them...)
In our cases, we did not even attempt to define the "normative" or correct individual probabilities. I made the #pulmonarynodule case using a calculator so #pretestprobability was 80%; sensitivity of transthoracicneedlebiopsy is ~90%. So the "normative answer is ~72% (blue dots)

You suspect pneumonia, but the CXR shows no opacities.
Q: When should you obtain a chest CT?
Pick your answer, then read on for a short explanation
(PTP = pretest probability)
There are three key concepts to understanding how accurate #RATs (or any diagnostic test) are: #sensitivity, #specificity and #pretestprobability.

This is superb. How science and common sense intersect. We really need comprehensive independent testing of RATS published asap. How accurate is your RAT? Three scenarios show it's about more than looking for lines https://t.co/DekI2mOaTK
@OnePagerICU A great summary. #fluidresponsiveness has taken on a life of it's own and I'm not sure the principle can be reliably applied to the benefit of patients. An #AUROC presumes a #pretestprobability - where does that come from? And is it alone sufficient to guide decisions?
I'm torn - on the OTOH, #YEARScriteria is "validated"; OTOH, its major clinical determinant, "#Pulmonaryembolism is most likely Dx" is completely ambiguous. That worries me. https://t.co/VNXI75NG2v #PERC #wellscriteria #Bayes #pretestprobability

How good are doctors at diagnosis?
This is the most relevant paper I have written. Not perfect but addresses a huge issue I think could change medicine if acknowledged
…it has changed how I think about diagnosis

@ThornyLin @baldgrrl There is a strong belief in physician circles & the statisticians behind #choosingwisely that there is an “over-ordering” of #diagnostictesting where the #pretestprobability is low. The belief is that over-ordering of tests is contributing to excess tax expenditures in health 1/2

@DissanaikeMD @medicalaxioms Important to discern difference between #cognitivebias in this scenario and #pretestprobability. An very unexpected result is inherently less likely to be accurate - important difference.
https://t.co/gQAlQBtn7F has amazing calculators to show how #LR adjust #PretestProbability ! How did I not know this before? Anyone using to teach #Bayes at the bedside? #EBM #meded https://t.co/914QIMrkMj
