    Diagnostic Test

    Citation:

    How serious is the risk of bias?

    Did participating patients constitute a


    representative sample of those presenting
    with a diagnostic dilemma?

    Did investigators compare the test to an


    appropriate, independent reference
    standard?

    Were those interpreting the test and


    reference standard blind to the other results?

    Did all patients receive the same reference


    standard irrespective of the results of the
    test results?

    What are the results?

    What likelihood ratios were associated with


    the range of possible test results?

    How can I apply the results to patient care?

    Will the reproducibility of the test results


    and its interpretation be satisfactory in my
    clinical setting?

    Are the study results applicable to patients


    in my practice?

    Will the test results change my management


    strategy?

    Will patients be better off as a result of the


    test?
