The most common diagnosticerror was inaccurate ophthalmoscopic examination in headache patients.
2
Researchers define diagnosticerror as a diagnosis that is wrong, missed, or delayed.
3
Research into the cause and solution of diagnosticerror is in its infancy.
4
There is even difficulty in deciding what constitutes a diagnosticerror.
5
A complex and specialized diagnostic process makes neuro-ophthalmologic conditions particularly vulnerable to diagnosticerror.
6
Most studies did not directly assess patient harms or financial costs of diagnosticerror.
7
David's story is an example of a diagnosticerror.
8
One-third of malpractice payments are related to diagnosticerror.
9
Graber found that our complex and often poorly coordinated medical system also contributes to diagnosticerror.
10
Research into diagnosticerror, like research into the diagnosis process itself, is still a very new field.
11
A major reason for the diagnosticerror is both the overutilization and the underutilization of laboratory tests.
12
This was by far the smallest category of diagnosticerror, present in only seven of the one hundred cases.
13
Conclusions: As an emerging field, diagnosticerror in neuro-ophthalmology offers rich opportunities for further research and improvement of quality of care.
14
There are many opportunities to reduce harm affecting children in hospital in Canada, particularly related to surgery, intensive care and diagnosticerror.
15
Despite the advantages of providing an early presumptive diagnosis, fungal classification by histopathology can be difficult and may lead to diagnosticerror.
16
Finally, we discuss implications including utility in genetic analyses, estimation of incidence or prevalence allowing for diagnosticerror, and examination of cohort effects.
