Structured data sheets were associated with fewer errors than computer-aided diagnosis in acute abdomen; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Does clinical decision making combined with selective laparoscopy and a structured data sheet reduce management error rates compared to computer-aided diagnosis in patients with acute abdominal pain?
In the management of the acute abdomen, clinical decision making combined with selective laparoscopy and a structured data sheet is superior to computer-aided diagnostic probabilities alone.
