Abstract

Abstract An analysis of 50 clinicopathologic conferences (CPCs) reveals the method of diagnosis in them to consist of construction of exhaustive differential diagnosis followed by evaluation of each disease in it by the likelihood inference approach. This method leads to 98% diagnostic accuracy in these CPCs. A probabilistic approach is found not to be employed for evaluation of a disease.
