A systematic method used to identify the most probable Differential Diagnosis
cause of a patient's symptoms by gathering clinical data,
listing possible conditions, and narrowing them down
based on clinical reasoning and evidence.
Why is a differential diagnosis important? It helps avoid misdiagnosis, ensures treatable conditions are considered, aids in
selecting appropriate tests and treatment, and reduces bias in clinical reasoning.
What are the key components of patient history in data Chief complaint, history of present illness (HPI), past medical history (PMH), social
collection? history (SH), family history (FH), and review of systems (ROS).
What mnemonic can be used to generate a differential VINDICATE-P: Vascular, Infectious, Neoplastic, Degenerative,
diagnosis list? Iatrogenic/Intoxication, Congenital, Autoimmune, Traumatic, Endocrine/Metabolic,
Psychiatric.
What are the three factors used to prioritize diagnoses? Likelihood, severity, and reversibility.
What type of tests should be used to rule in a diagnosis? Tests with high specificity. Example: D-dimer for pulmonary embolism.
What type of tests should be used to rule out a diagnosis? Tests with high sensitivity. Example: Troponins for myocardial infarction.
Relying too heavily on an initial impression or diagnosis and Anchoring Bias
failing to adjust when new information becomes available.
