Hemodynamic Monitoring and Therapy

Establishing the diagnosis in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms is complicated.

This paper describes the methods used to evaluate diagnostic tests, ranging from traditional sensitivity and specificity to more sophisticated techniques such as logistic regression and neural networks.
