How to assess case-finding in chronic diseases: Comparison of different indices
Recently, we have proposed a new illness-death model that comprises a state of undiagnosed chronic disease preceding the diagnosed disease. Based on this model, the question arises how case-finding can be assessed in the presence of mortality from all these states. We simulate two scenarios of different performance of case-finding and apply several indices to assess case-finding in both scenarios. One of the prevalence based indices leads to wrong conclusions. Some indices are partly insensitive to distinguish the quality of case-finding. The incidence based indices perform well. If possible, incidence based indices should be preferred.
