Studies included in a related systematic review used a variety of statistical methods to summarise clinical behaviour and to compare proxy (or indirect) and direct (observed) methods of measuring it. While transvaginal ultrasound appears to be the single best diagnostic method for diagnosing ectopic pregnancy, this study reports a likelihood ratio (LR) of 111 with a wide LR confidence interval of 12-1028. A number of induction methods are being used to extract knowledge from the data in an attempt to improve upon simple diagnostic charts used by the clinicians. The terms 'irritable mood' and 'irritability' have been applied to describe and define a variety of different categories in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Altman DG: Section 14.4 Diagnostic tests. More precise diagnostic terms and concepts are needed. The objective of the Measurement of clinical behaviour has therefore commonly relied on indirect measures, including review of medical records (or charts); clinician self-report, and patient report. On-line medical data has been collected in the hospital database system for several years. This growth can be Growth in the field also arises from the realization by healthcare providers that the use of ultrasound equipment to diagnose illness is a safer and more cost-effective method than is the case with radiological procedures. An important role of diagnostic medicine research is to estimate and compare the accuracies of diagnostic tests.
