The word "test" is used in a more general sense to describe the process of eliciting evidence of any kind from a patient, and this paper explores the thesis that much evidence is unnecessary and that therefore much test reduction is possible. The value of test reduction can be measured by its efficiency--that is, its effect on the misclassification of disease--or, preferably, by some measure of its cost-effectiveness.
“检测”一词在更广义上用于描述从患者身上获取任何类型证据的过程,本文探讨了这样一个论点,即许多证据是不必要的,因此有可能大幅减少检测。减少检测的价值可以通过其效率来衡量——也就是说,其对疾病错误分类的影响——或者,更可取的是,通过某种成本效益的衡量标准来衡量。
