Doctors' Understanding of Survival Statistics — MPIB  

Screening Clinical Trial

Official title:
Study of Primary Care Physicians' Understanding and Use of Different Survival Measures

Clinical Trial Summary

The probably most commonly used measure for expressing the pay-offs of early detection and treatment are survival rates. Yet, over time and groups this metric comes with several biases and thus, is not reliable for judging such benefits. Epidemiologists recommend using reduction of disease-specific mortality rates instead, which is unbiased. The purpose of the study is to investigate how primary care physicians understand and use different survival measures for determining the benefit of cancer screening tests.
