Using the patient's history to estimate the probability of coronary artery disease: a comparison of primary care and referral practices.
Am J Med. 1990; (1): 7-14
According to probability theory, the interpretation of new information should depend on the prior probability of disease. We asked if this principle applies to interpreting the history in patients with chest pain. We compared the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients who had similar histories but who came from populations with different disease prevalence.
