A member asked:
Is the 6cit cognitive impairment test ever diagnostic, some studies claim 100 specificity. can a screening test ever be diagnostic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: All screening tests need to be integrated with clinical data, and Screening tests usually are then needing to be confirmed by a more specific test
