Popis: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of patient interview items and clinical tests to diagnose cervical radiculopathy. Design A prospective diagnostic accuracy study. Participants Consecutive patients (N = 134) with a suspicion of cervical radiculopathy were included. A medical specialist made the diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy based on the patient's clinical presentation and corresponding Magnetic Resonance Imaging findings. Participants completed a list of patient interview items and the clinical tests were performed by a physiotherapist. Main outcome measures Diagnostic accuracy was determined in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and positive (+LR) and negative likelihood ratios (-LR). Sensitivity and specificity values >= 0.80 were considered high. We considered +LR >= 5 and -LR = 10and -LR
