  • Title: [Sense and usefulness of preventive diagnosis].
    Author: Conen D, Wernli M.
    Journal: Ther Umsch; 1994 Oct; 51(10):701-8. PubMed ID: 7839328.
    Abstract:
    The value of preventive screening tests is controversial. The predictive value of such testing depends on the incidence of the disease as well as of the sensitivity and specificity of the available tests. Cardiovascular and neoplastic diseases have been a model for preventive testing. We review the pertinent literature on preventive screening tests with special emphasis on the value of a thorough history and physical exam.
