Can anyone add information about the use of this method in clinical scenarios (eg. examination of risk factors for disease outcomes)?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.104.10.194 (talk • contribs) 23:08, 28 September 2006 (UTC).

The Guyatt et al. paper on iron-deficiency anemia is a classic.

Guyatt G, Patterson C, Ali M, Singer J, Levine M, Turpie I, Meyer R (1990). "Diagnosis of iron-deficiency anemia in the elderly.". Am J Med 88 (3): 205-9. PMID 2178409.

You're welcome to add an example you've come across (this is the encyclopedia anyone can edit)... or write a section after digesting Guyatt's paper -- which makes use of the concept. Nephron  T|C 19:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
