  • Title: Decision and cost analysis in acoustic neuroma diagnosis.
    Author: Bance ML, Hyde ML, Malizia K.
    Journal: J Otolaryngol; 1994 Apr; 23(2):109-20. PubMed ID: 8028068.
    Abstract:
    Demonstrating improved outcomes and cost containment are current health care imperatives. For many diseases, competing diagnostic tests are available. Each has a direct economic cost and indirect costs based on missed disease. It is often difficult to determine the most efficient testing strategy for a given patient. Clinical Decision Analysis can optimise diagnostic strategies to maximise cost-effectiveness. Analytic techniques are developed to allow analysis of diagnostic strategies that include multi-test protocols. The test parameters required for modelling these strategies are derived from a literature analysis.
