This book for emergency physicians and fellows training in emergency medicine provides evidence-based information on what diagnostic tests to ask for and when and how to use particular decision rules. The new edition builds on the success of the current book by modifying the presentation of the evidence, increasing the coverage, and updating the current information throughout.

"One of the things I enjoyed most about this book wasbeing able to examine actual sensitivities, specificities, andlikelihood ratios of various decision instruments and diagnostictests that I use daily. It was also enlightening to learnseveral diagnostic strategies and decision instruments that Ipreviously had not used." (Annals of EmergencyMedicine, 1 August 2013)
"This is an excellent resource for clinicians seeking toprovide evidence-based care in emergency medicine. It is acomprehensive and reliable resource that helps reach a balancebetween overuse and underuse of diagnostic testing. The informationis presented in a concise format that can be used during clinicalencounters or for more exhaustive reviews of the literaturesurrounding a clinical question. As evidence-based emergencymedicine is a rapidly changing and advancing field, this updatededition is certainly justified." (Doody's,7 June 2013)
