Clinical problem-solving involves the creation of a list of likely diagnoses based on the initial presentation and subsequent testing. The construction of a list of differential diagnoses is an essential starting point in diagnostic workup and involves a systematic process of evaluating and weighing competing diagnoses to arrive at the most likely condition responsible for the problem. This chapter discusses the strategies involved in constructing a list of differential diagnoses, and in pruning these to a manageable number, within which the final diagnosis may be sought.

摘要

Clinical problem-solving involves the creation of a list of likely diagnoses based on the initial presentation and subsequent testing. The construction of a list of differential diagnoses is an essential starting point in diagnostic workup and involves a systematic process of evaluating and weighing competing diagnoses to arrive at the most likely condition responsible for the problem. This chapter discusses the strategies involved in constructing a list of differential diagnoses, and in pruning these to a manageable number, within which the final diagnosis may be sought.
