Diagnostics of ovarian cancer; test accuracy of algorithm-based diagnostics in cases of suspected ovarian cancer

A systematic review including ethical aspects and overview of health economic considerations

SBU assessed six algorithms (SR, PR, RMI, ROMA, ADNEX, LR21) for the evaluation of pre-operative ovarian cancer risk. The most frequently used algorithms in Sweden are PR and SR. General finding: SR and PR demonstrated comparable diagnostic accuracy to most alternatives for the whole population.

Conclusions

  • Interventions focusing on organisational culture and staff practice may have an effect on moderate to large reductions in coercive measures, whereas child-focused behavioural interventions appear to have more limited or uncertain effects.
  • Reports from children (including adolescents) and staff highlight the importance of relational care, collaboration, staff reflexivity, and organisational support, in prevention of coercive measures.
