title: [Comparison of the diagnostic efficacy of various in vitro tests for the study of thyroid performance (author's transl)].
abstract: Discriminating analysis was employed in an evaluation of the diagnostic efficacy of individual in vitro tests of thyroid performance (T3 resin uptake, T4, FTI, ETR) and PB131I determination, and their combinations, when used for the differentiation of euthyroid, Basedow hyperthyroid, hyperfunctioning autonomous adenoma, and hypothyroid cases. The results are discussed with reference to optimization of the data: radiation dose ratio.
