“…For example, 2 studies found compliance with recommended diagnostic testing for CT and GC among women diagnosed as having PID to be between 54% and 77%. 15,16 Assessments similar to ours have been performed in sexual health clinics outside the United States and have also noted variation in adherence to national guidelines.

Application of electronic medical record data for health outcomes research: a review of recent literature

“…Image data and radiology reports were less commonly used to evaluate outcomes (n = 2; 2.1%) [44,88]. A number of studies (n = 23; 24%) reported other physiologic measures, such as forced expiratory volume, left ventricular ejection fraction, bone mineral density, white blood cell count and cancer stage [12,23,29,34,36,37,45,46,59,62,63,67,72,79,[82][83][84]95,96,98,100,102,104]. Finally, several studies reported disease status/risk scores based on various test results and clinical measures (n = 6; 6.3%) [17,24,44,55,69,101].…”
