The prevailing response to clinical uncertainty in primary care has been to cultivate tolerance, embrace ambiguity, or learn to navigate it: each treats uncertainty as inherent to the encounter. We propose a complementary move. Much of what is called clinical uncertainty may be attributed less to the patient's condition than to the reach of the diagnostic framework through which the clinician reasons. We introduce the concept of duagnosis (dual + gnosis, 'knowing'): the clinical cognition in which two independent diagnostic systems are simultaneously activated within a single clinician's reasoning.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Conceptual analysis proceeding through concept definition, differentiation from neighbouring frameworks, development of the epistemological argument, and institutional comparison across East Asia. The analysis draws on clinical reasoning research, the philosophy of medicine, evidence on the care of persistent physical symptoms, and comparative scholarship on traditional medicine.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The core contribution is epistemological: what one framework cannot formulate may resolve into a recognisable, actionable pattern in another, so that uncertainty is partly a property of the framework and not only of the patient. Duagnosis can be stated in two versions: a broad sense continuous with family medicine's plural readings of the patient, and a strict sense in which the criteria of evidence themselves change. An East Asian institutional comparison shows that Japan's unified medical licence locates diagnostic duality within individual clinician cognition for every physician, a capacity medical education has not cultivated.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Expanding the diagnostic repertoire, not merely tolerating uncertainty, can reduce the proportion of presentations for which no clinical formulation exists.

Despite growing policy interest - including guidance from the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) and the Société Française d'Anesthésie et de Réanimation (SFAR) - the integration of operational efficiency and environmental sustainability within ICU practice remains poorly understood at the level of frontline professionals. Qualitative evidence exploring how ICU staff and managers perceive and navigate these dual pressures is particularly limited in the German healthcare context.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method: &lt;/strong&gt;A qualitative-dominant mixed-methods study was conducted in a 520-bed acute care hospital in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Seventeen semi-structured interviews were conducted with purposively sampled ICU professionals, including physicians, nursing leadership, respiratory therapists, administrative staff, bed management specialists, and IT managers. Interviews lasted 35-50 min (mean 41 min) and were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using the six-phase thematic analysis framework of Braun and Clarke. Secondary operational data - including 2025 ICU bed occupancy reports from the hospital's Medical Controlling department, staffing documentation, and hospital sustainability reports - were used for contextual triangulation. No patient-level clinical data were accessed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Six major themes influencing ICU operational efficiency and sustainability were identified: (1) workforce shortages and staffing pressures; (2) patient flow and bed management constraints; (3) administrative workload and bureaucratic complexity; (4) technological infrastructure and resource management; (5) economic pressures and financial governance; and (6) sustainability awareness and environmental challenges. ICU bed occupancy, as reported in the hospital's 2025 Medical Controlling data, consistently exceeded 85%, confirming capacity pressures described by participants. Sustainability was broadly acknowledged as a relevant concern but perceived as secondary to immediate clinical priorities. Two preliminary conceptual frameworks (Figures S1 and S2) - an ICU Operational Efficiency Model and a Sustainability Integration Model - were developed from the findings and require further external validation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This study provides qualitative evidence that operational efficiency and environmental sustainability are perceived as interconnected but competing priorities by ICU professionals in a German communal hospital. Key barriers include staffing constraints, administrative burden, and limited institutional sustainability infrastructure.

The prevalence threshold marks the point on that relationship below which a positive result stops being trustworthy. Its familiar closed form assumes that sensitivity and specificity stay fixed as the population changes, yet large empirical surveys of the diagnostic literature show that measured accuracy shifts systematically with prevalence, because prevalence acts as a marker for differences in disease spectrum, case mix, referral and verification. This study asked how the prevalence-threshold framework should be generalised when accuracy varies in this way, which of its classical properties survive, and whether the difference matters in practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method: &lt;/strong&gt;Sensitivity and specificity were allowed to vary smoothly across populations indexed by prevalence, producing a prevalence-indexed positive likelihood ratio and a corresponding adaptive Bayesian screening curve. We derived the resulting threshold, introduced a dimensionless evidence-drift function that measures how quickly the strength of diagnostic evidence changes as the population changes, and established conditions for the threshold to exist, to be unique, and to be computable by simple iteration. Full derivations and proofs are provided in the Supplementary Appendix. We then applied the framework to two sources of published data: summary accuracy estimates for SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests from a Cochrane review, and pooled prevalence-accuracy regression coefficients from a meta-epidemiological analysis of 6909 diagnostic accuracy studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The generalised threshold is defined implicitly rather than by a closed formula, because the likelihood ratio must be evaluated at the threshold itself. Three properties that identify the same point under fixed accuracy-balance on the anti-diagonal of the probability square, unit slope, and maximal curvature-separate once accuracy varies with prevalence, and the size of that separation is itself informative. Evidence drift governs the slope at the threshold and supplies a sufficient condition for uniqueness. In the rapid antigen application, sensitivity fell and specificity rose between the higher-prevalence symptomatic setting and the lower-prevalence asymptomatic setting, so the positive likelihood ratio more than doubled as prevalence fell; carrying the symptomatic likelihood ratio into the asymptomatic setting understated post-test probability by roughly 19 percentage points. In the meta-epidemiological calibration, drift was negative across every clinical subgroup examined and large enough in several to abolish the classical unit-slope property.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The classical prevalence threshold is the constant-accuracy, zero-drift case of a broader","PeriodicalId":15997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evaluation in clinical practice","volume":"32 6","pages":"e70622"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149039209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper argues that the shortfall is conceptual rather than empirical and turns to the philosophy of science of William Whewell to name it. Evidence-based medicine tells clinicians how to weigh evidence once it is in hand. The paper aims to show that Whewell describes the earlier and harder task, the forming of the conceptions that make observations count as evidence in the first place.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>The analysis is conceptual and historical. Whewell held that facts do not organise themselves but require colligation, the superinduction of a clarifying conception upon observations, and that discovery is most strongly warranted by consilience, the convergence of independent classes of fact upon a single cause. His account is read alongside Peirce on abduction and Fleck on how a scientific fact is held in place, illustrated through a case history of craniosynostosis from Virchow's law to the FGFR discoveries of the 1990s and applied to precision medicine, subspecialisation and artificial intelligence.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In craniosynostosis, children moved between diagnostic categories and a new syndrome came into being without a single new observation, because a conception arrived that reorganised what existing observations were observations of. The contemporary difficulties are versions of the same problem. Precision medicine has delivered where a true cause was secured and stalled where it offered only correlation. Subspecialisation fragments enquiry so that consiliences crossing organ systems go unrecognised. Artificial intelligence extends the power of observation without extending the power of conception.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Medicine has perfected the appraisal of evidence while leaving the formation of concepts largely to chance.
