A Secondary Analysis to Identify Patient-Centered Outcomes in the ACR’s Appropriateness Criteria

ConclusionsWe identified few PCOs incorporated in the AC. Our findings reflect the historical emphasis of diagnostic research on accuracy, clinical utility, and selected outcomes (eg, adverse events). As radiology moves to a more patient-centered approach, it will be important to measure PCOs reported directly from patients.
