A process for ranking competing diagnostic protocols for a specific disease is presented. The process incorporates the basic principles of medical decision making, and provides for the consideration of equivocal test results as well as results for patients who have ill-defined or incompletely defined disease. It provides a means for developing an a priori optimization process prior to ranking competing diagnostic algorithms. Methods for transferring ranking information among populations with widely differing disease prevalences are given. |
