[Evaluation of informative value of laboratory tests and test complexes for the occupational diseases].
The authors discuss the criteria for rational selection of laboratory parameters most informative for the diagnosis of occupational diseases. Such criteria as diagnostic significance, diagnostic specificity, diagnostic informative value according to Kulback (Igx), and diagnostic selectiveness ensure the optimal selection of laboratory parameters for the diagnosis of occupational diseases. Diagnostic sensitivity is not a stable value, as it depends on the disease severity and degree of exposure to harmful factors. Basic requirements, which should be taken account of when selecting the complex of laboratory methods for the diagnosis of occupational diseases, are defined.
