The usefulness of a scoring system, developed in a private pediatric practice, for the early diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis has been evaluated in a teaching hospital. The system, evaluated in 892 patients, appears most useful in predicting culture-negative patients (80%). A false positive rate of 20 per cent precludes the use of the scoring system in the decision to initiate antibiotic therapy at our institution.
在一家教学医院对一个在私人儿科诊所开发的用于早期诊断链球菌性咽炎的评分系统的实用性进行了评估。该系统在892名患者中进行了评估，在预测培养结果为阴性的患者方面似乎最有用（80%）。20%的假阳性率使得该评分系统无法在我们机构用于决定是否开始抗生素治疗。
