The Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine is running a three-day Workshop on
Evidence-Based Diagnostics at St. Anne's College, Oxford 23rd - 25th July
2007.
The workshop is open to clinicians and laboratory staff who are interested
in how to improve their, and others, usage and interpretation of diagnostic
tests. It will be of particular interest to those whose work is largely in
diagnostics, such as those working in laboratory medicine and radiology.
The workshop is aimed at giving a thorough grounding in standard and new
methods in diagnostic research methods, including the appraisal of
diagnostic accuracy studies and systematic reviews of diagnostic studies.
After the workshop, participants should be able to:
1. Formulate answerable diagnostic questions.
2. Search effectively for evidence on diagnostics.
3. Critically appraise evidence about diagnostic accuracy or impact and
assess it for its validity and applicability.
4. Understand basic measures of accuracy, such as sensitivity, specificity,
likelihood ratios, and ROC statistics.
5. Understand the basics of diagnostic meta-analysis, and decision
analysis.
