Why the study?
Does a 3x2 table (intention to diagnose approach) alter the reported diagnostic accuracy of coronary CT angiography compared to a classic 2x2 table?
Does a 3x2 table (intention to diagnose approach) alter the reported diagnostic accuracy of coronary CT angiography compared to a classic 2x2 table?
Including non-evaluable results using a 3x2 table (intention to diagnose approach) significantly decreases diagnostic performance parameters for coronary CT angiography, providing a more realistic estimate of its clinical utility.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Clinicians should favor intention-to-diagnose reporting for coronary CT angiography accuracy; challenges prior 2x2 estimates and supports its use in future meta-analyses.
Schuetz et al. (2012) studied this question.
