TL;DR: The American College of Physicians convened a workgroup of physicians to identify, using a consensus-based process, common clinical situations in which screening and diagnostic tests are used in ways that do not reflect high-value care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease be diagnosed by historical and physical findings alone
Robert G. Badgett,David J. Tanaka,Debra K. Hunt,Martina J. Jelley,Lawrence E. Feinberg,John F. Steiner,Thomas L. Petty +6 more
TL;DR: D diminished breath sounds were the best predictor of moderate COPD and a sequential increase in sensitivity and a minimal decrease in specificity occurred when the quality of breath sounds was added first to the medical history, followed by the peak flow result.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of a Mailed Brochure on Appointment-Keeping for Screening Colonoscopy: A Randomized Trial
Thomas D. Denberg,John M. Coombes,Tim Byers,Alfred C. Marcus,Lawrence E. Feinberg,John F. Steiner,Dennis J. Ahnen +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an informational brochure sent to patients' home addresses after referral for screening colonoscopy would increase patient completion of the procedure, and the overall adherence rate was 11.7 percentage points (95% Cl, 5.1 to 18.4 percentage points) greater in the intervention group than in the control group.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Clinical Evaluation for Diagnosing Obstructive Airways Disease in High-Risk Patients
Robert G. Badgett,David J. Tanaka,Debra K. Hunt,Martina J. Jelley,Lawrence E. Feinberg,John F. Steiner,Thomas L. Petty +6 more
TL;DR: The history, physical examination, and peak flowmeter can be used to screen high-risk patients for OAD and the best model diagnosed OAD when any of three variables were present--a history of smoking more than 30 pack-years, diminished breath sounds, or peak flow less than 350 L/min.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changing patterns of disease on an inpatient medical service: 1961–1962 to 1981–1982
John F. Steiner,Lawrence E. Feinberg,Lawrence E. Feinberg,Andrew M. Kramer,Andrew M. Kramer,Richard L. Byyny,Richard L. Byyny +6 more
TL;DR: Over time, length of stay and mortality rates decreased and acuteness of illness increased, whereas age, chronicity, and co-morbidity remained constant; changes in the prevalence of some common diseases reflected evolving medical and social influences on hospital use.
