House officer predictions of lesions and CT scan diagnosis were compared for accuracy in a municipal and community hospital setting. The input of the CT scan into initial patient care was also evaluated. In the municipal hospital, house officers made fewer most-correct diagnoses, and the CT scan more often established the correct diagnosis (P less than .03) and altered therapy (P less than .02). Results suggest that municipal hospital patients could benefit from accessible CT scanners.
在一家市立医院和社区医院环境中,对住院医生对病变的预测与CT扫描诊断的准确性进行了比较。还评估了CT扫描在患者初始治疗中的作用。在市立医院,住院医生做出的最正确诊断较少,而CT扫描更常能确立正确诊断(P<0.03)并改变治疗方案(P<0.02)。结果表明,市立医院的患者可以从可使用的CT扫描仪中受益。
