To what extent should doctors communicate diagnostic uncertainty with their patients? An empirical ethics vignette study

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We argue that doctors should err on the side of greater diagnostic uncertainty communication: to not do so (eg, based on benign paternalistic ideas about avoiding patient worry) or to do so variably (eg, based on unevidenced assumptions about patient information preferences) risks depriving patients of information they may value and may create or exacerbate inequalities.
