  • Title: Assessment of diagnostic ECG results using information and decision theory. Results from the CSE diagnostic study.
    Author: Willems JL.
    Journal: J Electrocardiol; 1992; 25 Suppl():120-5. PubMed ID: 1297677.
    Abstract:
    Information and decision theory were applied to assess the interpretation results of 15 computer programs (9 electrocardiogram and 6 vectorcardiogram) and 9 cardiologists; 8 of whom analyzed the electrocardiogram and 5 the vectorcardiogram, using a database of 1,220 clinically validated cases. The study demonstrates that information content and utility indices, by providing a comprehensive view of diagnostic performance, can enhance the insight given by the more classic statistical performance measures.
