The science of clinical practice: disease diagnosis or patient prognosis? Evidence about "what is likely to happen" should shape clinical practice (2015)
Journal Article
Croft, P., Altman, D. G., Deeks, J. J., Dunn, K. M., Hay, A. D., Hemingway, H., …Timmis, A. (2015). The science of clinical practice: disease diagnosis or patient prognosis?
