DEF

A form of bias that occurs in the study of diagnostic test validity when the test result influences the decision whether to use the gold standard.

OBS

This bias can substantially distort the estimation of the validity of the test studied. It can be avoided if all the eligible subjects are consecutively verified using the gold standard, regardless of the result of the test studied, or if the subjects are selected on the basis of the results of the gold standard, before the results of the test studied are known.

OBS

workup bias; verification bias : terms and definition standardized by the Health Technology Assessment(HTA) Glossary English Editorial Board and the Translation Bureau.

DEF

Biais se produisant dans l’étude de la validité d’un test diagnostique lorsque le résultat du test influence la décision d’effectuer ou non le test de référence.

OBS

Ce biais peut fausser substantiellement l’estimation de la validité du test étudié. On peut l’éviter en soumettant au test de référence tous les sujets admissibles, et ce, de façon consécutive, sans égard au résultat du test étudié, ou en sélectionnant les sujets selon les résultats du test de référence avant que les résultats du test étudié soient connus.

OBS

biais de vérification; biais lié aux investigations; biais d’élaboration du diagnostic; biais lié au bilan clinique : termes et définition normalisés par l'Institut national d'excellence en santé et en services sociaux (INESSS) et le Bureau de la traduction.

[We] would also go to the west coast to conduct AWUPS (annual workups - two weeks duration) of a ship while the west coast equivalent would be conducting WUPS (full workups - 4 weeks duration) on another ship.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)

DEF

An x-ray of the breast used to diagnose unusual breast changes, such as a lump, pain, nipple thickening or discharge, or a change in breast size or shape.

CONT

A diagnostic mammogram is also used to evaluate abnormalities detected on a screening mammogram. It is a basic medical tool and is appropriate in the workup of breast changes, regardless of a woman's age.

OBS

[A diagnostic mammogram] includes extra compression to "push" normal breast tissue out of the way and gives a clearer image of the suspicious area. If tiny flecks of calcium (microcalcifications) are noticed, magnified views will be taken since these flecks are sometimes associated with cancer.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes diagnostiques (Médecine)
  • Radiographie (Médecine)
DEF

Radiographie du sein utilisée dans la détection du cancer du sein.

OBS

[Lors d'une mammographie diagnostique] on comprime davantage le sein pour «écarter» le tissu mammaire normal et produire une image plus claire de la région douteuse. Si l'on constate la présence de minuscules particules de calcium (microcalcifications), on en prendra des vues grossies parce qu'il y a parfois un lien entre la présence de ces particules et le cancer.
