Dataset on diagnostic errors of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) diseases

This data assessed the diagnosis outcomes that were made by the patient’s non-ENT clinicians at the referral health facilities and those that were made by ENT specialists at the hospital patients were referred to. The ENT specialist's diagnoses were made after further investigation and this diagnosis was the definitive or final diagnosis. Furthermore, where there was an agreement between the diagnosis made by the non-ENT clinicians and the ENT specialists, it was referred to as a ‘match’ and differences in diagnosis were classified as a 'mismatch'.

本数据集旨在评估两类诊断结果：一类为转诊医疗机构中非耳鼻咽喉科（Ear-Nose-Throat, ENT）临床医师作出的诊断，另一类为患者转诊至的医院内耳鼻咽喉科专科医师作出的诊断。耳鼻咽喉科专科医师的诊断需经进一步检查后方可作出，且该诊断为确诊或最终诊断。此外，若非耳鼻咽喉科临床医师与耳鼻咽喉科专科医师的诊断结果一致，则将其定义为‘匹配（match）’；若二者诊断存在差异，则归类为‘不匹配（mismatch）’。
