Meanings of diagnostic errors in anglès

We sought to assess diagnostic errors in PICU and neonatal ICU settings by systematic review.

Emergency room doctors have a somewhat higher rate of diagnostic errors, specialists a somewhat lower rate.

Most diagnostic errors could have caused moderate or severe harm to the patient, the researchers determined.

As a result, there is a new and growing interest in better understanding diagnostic errors in medicine.

This diagnostic pitfall is important to both recognize and be cognizant of, so as to avoid diagnostic errors.

Study selection: We identified observational studies reporting autopsy-confirmed diagnostic errors in PICU or neonatal ICU using standard Goldman criteria.

Research suggests that diagnostic errors-likethis one nearly was-areoften due to a multitude of missteps made along the way.

In a study of over thirty thousand patient records, researchers found that diagnostic errors accounted for 17 percent of adverse events.

The laparoscopic technology allowed not only to avoid diagnostic errors in all the cases, but also to take all necessary surgical measures.

Because diagnostic errors could result in such clinical complications as postoperative bile leakage, this is a useful technique for hepatectomy, especially for sub-subsegmentectomy.

Results possibly leading to diagnostic errors (false-positive and false-negative results) were found in only 1.38 per cent.

Evidence acquisition: English-language literature on diagnostic errors in neuro-ophthalmology and neurology was identified through electronic search of PubMed and Google Scholar and hand search.

Results suggest that demographically corrected norms derived from healthy Spanish-speaking adults with a broad range of education, are less likely to result in diagnostic errors.

The aim of this study was to determine optimal timing and technique for buccal smear collection in breast-fed infants in order to avoid diagnostic errors.

This greatly reduced the diagnostic errors, with the sole exception of patients with fatty liver in whom nuclear medicine may eventually provide a correct characterization.

Of the 190 patients with diagnostic errors, 36 had serious, permanent damage and 27 died, according to findings published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.
