Diabetes was overdiagnosed in <5% of cases. Conclusion: Over-and underdiagnosis are common in older patients. Explanations for overdiagnosis include subjective diagnostic criteria and the use of criteria not validated in older patients. Underdiagnosis was associated with long preclinical phases of disease or lack of sensitive diagnostic criteria. Factors that predispose to misdiagnosis in older patients must be emphasized in education and clinical guidelines.]]> Wed 24 Nov 2021 15:51:16 AEDT ]]> Reducing inappropriate polypharmacy: the process of deprescribing https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27968 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:26:18 AEST ]]> Promises and perils of using genetic tests to predict risk of disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43165 Tue 13 Sep 2022 15:56:31 AEST ]]> Polypharmacy among inpatients aged 70 years or older in Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28069 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:47 AEDT ]]> Research activities in general medicine: a scoping survey by the Internal Medicine Society of Australia and New Zealand https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51576 Mon 11 Sep 2023 14:29:34 AEST ]]>
