    Snippet: A 2007 Health Technology Assessment report discusses the use of validation in evaluating a diagnostic test in the absence of 'an unproblematic and equivocal reference standard'.

    Document: A 2007 Health Technology Assessment report discusses the use of validation in evaluating a diagnostic test in the absence of 'an unproblematic and equivocal reference standard'. (18) The associations demonstrated here between clinical presentation and upper respiratory tract microbes provide little evidence to suggest that some microbes detected from the upper respiratory tract using throat swabs may be aetiologically related to acute RTI and cough.
