A clinical prediction rule or clinical probability assessment specifies how to use medical signs, symptoms, and other findings to estimate the probability of a specific disease or clinical outcome.[1]
Physicians have difficulty in estimated risks of diseases; frequently erring towards overestimation,[2] perhaps due to cognitive biases such as base rate fallacy in which the risk of an adverse outcome is exaggerated.
