detection bias

    0.01 sec.
detection bias
[ditek′shən]
a potential artifact in epidemiologic data caused by the use of a particular diagnostic technique or type of equipment. As an example, cancer rates may vary in different regions or periods, not because of an actual difference in the incidence of the disease but because of different diagnostic technologies.

Evaluators were blinded at baseline and post-intervention assessments, minimising the introduction of detection bias.
The likelihood of such detection bias is unclear, although a similar difference between recorded cases and recorded subcounties infected preceded the epidemic increase in 1976 (Figure 3).
This may have resulted in a detection bias in the HRT users, particularly of acute myocardial infarction which can be undetected at the time of occurrence in 22-44% of cases.
