AB  - For  clinicians  to  appropriately  use  diagnostic  tests  in  clinical  practice,  they  need  to  know  how  well  the  tests  can  distinguish  between  those  who  have  the  target  condition  and  those  who  do  not.  If  investigators  choose  clinically  inappropriate  populations  for  their  study  of  a  diagnostic  test  (introducing  what  is  sometimes  called  spectrum  bias),  the  results  may  seriously  mislead  clinicians  (see  Chapter  18,  Diagnostic  Tests).
