DOI: 10.1002/sim.7148
Abstract: When two imperfect diagnostic tests are carried out on the same subject, their results may be correlated even after conditioning on the true disease status. While past work has focused on the consequences of ignoring… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/sim.7688
Abstract: Evaluating the accuracy (ie, estimating the sensitivity and specificity) of new diagnostic tests without the presence of a gold standard is of practical meaning and has been the subject of intensive study for several decades.… read more here.

Extending the susceptible‐exposed‐infected‐removed (SEIR) model to handle the false negative rate and symptom‐based administration of COVID‐19 diagnostic tests: SEIR‐fansy

DOI: 10.1002/sim.9357
Abstract: False negative rates of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 diagnostic tests, together with selection bias due to prioritized testing can result in inaccurate modeling of COVID‐19 transmission dynamics based on reported “case” counts. We propose… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00405-022-07358-y
Abstract: Currently, there is no consensus regarding the best protocol for diagnosing Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). We aimed to evaluate how patient characteristics affect tubomanometry (TMM) results. If an association between patient characteristics and TMM results… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2019.01.002
Abstract: Correct diagnostic management of perioperative hypersensitivity aims to identify the underlying mechanism(s), responsible culprit(s), and safe alternative drugs or techniques. Although drug provocation tests are considered the gold standard, diagnosis of perioperative hypersensitivity mainly relies… read more here.
