| * The page name should be '''"Diagnostic study of choice for [disease name]"''', with only the first letter of the title capitalized. Note that the page is called "Diagnostic study of choice."
| | The diagnostic study of choice for chronic pancreatitis is [[Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography|magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)]]. The [[diagnosis]] is difficult to establish because the laboratory results and the imaging may be normal. Diagnostic findings confirmatory for chronic pancreatitis may include [[pancreatic]] [[Calcification|calcifications]] seen on abdominal plain films or [[CT scan]], beaded appearance of main [[pancreatic duct]] seen on pancreatogram. Abnormal pancreatogram shows ectatic side branches from the main [[pancreatic duct]] and abnormal pancreatic function tests ([[Secretin]] stimulation test). |
| * '''Goal:'''
| |
| **To describe the most efficient/sensitive/specific test that is utilized for diagnosis of [disease name].
| |
| **To describe the gold standard test for the diagnosis of [disease name].
| |
| **To describe the diagnostic criteria, which may be based on clinical findings, physical exam signs, pathological findings, lab findings, findings on imaging, or even findings that exclude other diseases.
| |
| * As with all microchapter pages linking to the main page, at the top of the edit box put <nowiki>{{CMG}}</nowiki>, your name template, and the microchapter navigation template you created at the beginning.
| |
| * Remember to create links within WikiDoc by placing <nowiki>[[square brackets]]</nowiki> around key words which you want to link to other pages. Make sure you makes your links as specific as possible. For example, if a sentence contained the phrase anterior spinal artery syndrome, the link should be to [[anterior spinal artery syndrome]] not [[anterior]] or [[artery]] or [[syndrome]]. For more information on how to create links, click [[here]].
| |
| * Remember to follow the same format and capitalization of letters as outlined in the template below.
| |
| * You should include the name of the disease in the first sentence of every subsection.

| ===== Template statements =====
| | === Gold standard or study of choice: === |
| | | *The diagnostic study of choice for chronic pancreatitis is [[Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography|magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)]] because: |
| === Gold standard/Study of choice: === | | **It may help in the detailed assessment of the ductal changes. |
| * [Name of the investigation] is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of [disease name].
| | **It eliminates the need to perform [[Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography|endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)]]. |
| * The following result of [gold standard test] is confirmatory of [disease name]:
| |
| ** Result 1
| |
| ** Result 2
| |
| * The [name of investigation] should be performed when:
| |
| ** The patient presented with symptoms/signs 1. 2, 3.
| |
| ** A positive [test] is detected in the patient.
| |
| * [Name of the investigation] is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of [disease name].
| |
| * The diagnostic study of choice for [disease name] is [name of investigation]. | |
| * There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of [disease name].
| |
| * There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of [disease name], but [disease name] can be diagnosed based on [name of the investigation 1] and [name of the investigation 2].
| |
| * [Disease name] is mainly diagnosed based on clinical presentation.
| |
| * Investigations:
| |
| ** Among patients who present with clinical signs of [disease name], the [investigation name] is the most specific test for the diagnosis. | |
| ** Among patients who present with clinical signs of [disease name], the [investigation name] is the most sensitive test for diagnosis.
| |
| ** Among patients who present with clinical signs of [disease name], the [investigation name] is the most efficient test for diagnosis. | |

| ===== Diagnostic results =====
| |
| The following result of [investigation name] is confirmatory of [disease name]:
| |
| * Result 1
| |
| * Result 2
| |
| | |
| ===== Sequence of Diagnostic Studies =====
| |
| The [name of investigation] should be performed when:
| |
| * The patient presented with symptoms/signs 1, 2, and 3 as the first step of diagnosis.
| |
| * A positive [test] is detected in the patient, to confirm the diagnosis.
| |
|

|
| === Diagnostic Criteria === | | === Diagnostic Criteria === |
| * Here you should describe the details of the diagnostic criteria. | | *The diagnosis is difficult to establish as the laboratory results and the imaging may be normal. |
| *Always mention the name of the criteria/definition you are about to list (e.g. modified Duke criteria for diagnosis of endocarditis / 3rd universal definition of MI) and cite the primary source of where this criteria/definition is found.
| |
| *Although not necessary, it is recommended that you include the criteria in a table. Make sure you always cite the source of the content and whether the table has been adapted from another source.
| |
| *Be very clear as to the number of criteria (or threshold) that needs to be met out of the total number of criteria.
| |
| *Distinguish criteria based on their nature (e.g. clinical criteria / pathological criteria/ imaging criteria) before discussing them in details.
| |
| *To view an example (endocarditis diagnostic criteria), click [[Endocarditis diagnosis|here]]
| |
| *If relevant, add additional information that might help the reader distinguish various criteria or the evolution of criteria (e.g. original criteria vs. modified criteria).
| |
| *You may also add information about the sensitivity and specificity of the criteria, the pre-test probability, and other figures that may help the reader understand how valuable the criteria are clinically.
| |
| * [Disease name] is mainly diagnosed based on clinical presentation. There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of [disease name].
| |
| * There is no single diagnostic study of choice for [disease name], though [disease name] may be diagnosed based on [name of criteria] established by [...].
| |
|
| |
|
| * The diagnosis of [disease name] is made when at least [number] of the following [number] diagnostic criteria are met: [criterion 1], [criterion 2], [criterion 3], and [criterion 4].
| | ===== Diagnostic findings suggestive of chronic pancreatitis: ===== |
| * The diagnosis of [disease name] is based on the [criteria name] criteria, which includes [criterion 1], [criterion 2], and [criterion 3]. | | Diagnostic findings suggestive of chronic pancreatitis include the triad of: |
| | * [[Pancreatic]] [[Calcification|calcifications]] |
| | * [[Steatorrhea]] |
| | * [[Diabetes mellitus]] |
|
| |
|
| * [Disease name] may be diagnosed at any time if one or more of the following criteria are met: | | ===== Diagnostic findings confirmatory for Chronic pancreatitis: ===== |
| ** Criteria 1 | | Diagnostic findings confirmatory for chronic pancreatitis may include |
| ** Criteria 2 | | * [[Pancreatic]] [[Calcification|calcifications]] seen on abdominal plain films or [[CT scan]] |
| ** Criteria 3 | | * Beaded appearance of main [[pancreatic duct]] seen on pancreatogram |
| | * Abnormal pancreatogram showing ectatic side branches from the main pancreatic duct |
| | * Abnormal pancreatic function tests (Secretin test) |
