A controlled study of admission multiphasic screening (AMS) at a large general hospital showed that AMS had no significant effect on a variety of indices of inpatient progress. Owing to a 64% increase in estimated cost of investigations with AMS, the total hospital admission cost was increased by approximately 5%. Under the conditions of this study, AMS added to the cost of hospitalization without associated evidence of benefit to the patient.
在一家大型综合医院进行的一项关于入院多相筛查（AMS）的对照研究表明，AMS对住院患者病情进展的各项指标没有显著影响。由于采用AMS后检查估计费用增加了64%，医院总入院费用增加了约5%。在本研究条件下，AMS增加了住院费用，且没有给患者带来相应的受益证据。
