Potential Harms of Feedback After Web-Based Depression Screening: Secondary Analysis of Negative Effects in the Randomized Controlled DISCOVER Trial

Critics particularly point to the risk of increased rates of misdiagnosis and mistreatment, which refers to the allocation of depression diagnosis and treatment by health care professionals to individuals who screen positive but do not meet diagnostic criteria for a depressive disorder.

Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Awareness in Primary Care: UK National Cross-Sectional Survey of General Practitioners

Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Awareness in Primary Care: UK National Cross-Sectional Survey of General Practitioners

Misdiagnosis in primary care plays a part in the complex picture leading to delays in the patient pathway [13,14]. Misdiagnosis likely arises due to a lack of awareness, driven by inconsistent terminology [15], similarity with other presentations, and low levels of research activity. Most significantly, recent studies have reported deficient teaching and representation of DCM in medical education curricula [16].

Identification of Predictors of Mood Disorder Misdiagnosis and Subsequent Help-Seeking Behavior in Individuals With Depressive Symptoms: Gradient-Boosted Tree Machine Learning Approach

Identification of Predictors of Mood Disorder Misdiagnosis and Subsequent Help-Seeking Behavior in Individuals With Depressive Symptoms: Gradient-Boosted Tree Machine Learning Approach

CIDI diagnosis was used as the gold standard, and any mismatch with the baseline diagnosis was defined as misdiagnosis. This definition of misdiagnosis was consistent with previous studies investigating under- and misdiagnosis of mood disorders based on comparing patient-reported diagnoses to the outcomes of structured clinical interviews [28,29].

Misdiagnosis of COPD also occurs due to errors made in primary care. Some studies have shown that professionals in primary care centers make more diagnostic errors than specialists, mainly due to lack of awareness of the disease, which often leads to the criteria for hospital referral to be ignored or the associated reports not including all of the recommended information [33].
