The first part addresses the use and interpretation of diagnostic tests. That includes the basic characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, predictive value) ; the potential biases ; the ROC curves ; the Bayesian analysis ; the threshold probabilities. The second part analyzes the expected outcomes from a test or a treatment : utility concept, life expectancy. The third part includes clinical reasoning, decision-making, and cost-efficacy. These concepts are illustrated by clinical exemples taken from the diagnostic procedures used in medicine.
