nice stuie

i like this part:

The sensitivity and specificity of clinical diagnosis varied with the prevalence of pneumonia. In a general practice setting, 20 of 402 patients with cough were diagnosed with pneumonia by chest x-ray.³ Physicians correctly diagnosed 7 patients clinically, and incorrectly diagnosed pneumonia in 22 additional patients.³ At a Veterans Administration hospital, a prospective cohort of 52 men with acute cough and change in sputum production underwent sequential blinded examination by 3 physicians. Rales and bronchial breath sounds were common, and chest x-ray confirmed pneumonia in 28 patients. Sensitivity of clinical diagnosis ranged from 47% to 69%, and specificity from 58% to 75%.

Above using all the "tools of the trade" then compare to RAP:
Pneumonia (123 patients) (cough alone) - Sensitivity of 80% and Specificity of 67%
(cough, age, gender and symptoms) - Sensitivity of 89% and Specificity of 79%

Will be using the (cough, age, gender and symptoms) as which doctor will not be able to input that information? If they cant, they shouldnt be a doctor.

Cant wait for more data to be put into the machine learning algorithm.

Agree, and the diagnosis method currently hasn't changed.......hence why this RAP "tool" will revolutionize pneumonia diagnosis so I don't know why he posted that post, as he has been around for a long time and knows his DD........except for the obvious.

The doctor can use it to see if it detects those other high accurate diagnosis, if it does, you don't have pneumonia, then if it doesn't, check to see if it detects the next high accurate diagnosis.....then repeat the steps?
