Validity, Validity

Validity is the degree to which clinical symptoms or tests reflect the presence of a disease.

Reduced reliability is observed in those tests that, when repeated many times in the same person under the same conditions, give different results (i.e., have reduced rcproducibility, reliability, or repeatability).

This may be because the same researcher obtains different results in several similar trials (intraobserver error), or because several researchers obtain different results during the course of a study (interobserver error). .

Such errors can arise both because of existing differences in the conditions of observation, and because of the doctor's existing bias (often unconscious), which is expressed in his reasoning or in the intonation of his voice and manner of communication with the patient.

For comparison: The study is interventional.

Validity and reliability in clinical research

Validity and reliability are important aspects of clinical research that influence the accuracy and reliability of the results. Validity is the degree to which clinical symptoms and tests reflect the presence of a disease, while reliability is the degree to which test results are reproducible when repeated many times.

Reduced confidence can occur due to various reasons. For example, reduced reproducibility may be due to the same investigator obtaining different results when a study is conducted multiple times, and reduced reliability may be due to different results obtained by multiple investigators in the same study.

To reduce observation errors and increase the reliability of the results, certain rules and procedures must be followed. For example, to reduce internal observational error, it is necessary to conduct studies under identical conditions and use standardized protocols. To reduce external observation bias, it is necessary to ensure that researchers and observers are trained and supervised equally.

In addition, to increase the validity of study results, it is necessary to consider the possible influence of physician or patient bias on study results. It is important that researchers be objective and unbiased in their judgments and not influence the results of the study by their tone of voice or manner of communication.

In general, reliability and validity are key aspects of clinical research and require careful attention and monitoring.

Reality, reliability (validity) are important concepts in clinical diagnosis, assessment of the patient’s health status and the effectiveness of various treatment and diagnostic methods. Determining validity, also called reliability, accuracy and replicability of a procedure, is an integral part of the research process and clinical experience.

Confidence describes the degree of agreement between observable patient characteristics (symptoms or objective findings) and the presence or absence of a specific disease. This means that validity not only identifies the presence or absence of a disease, but also establishes how accurately diagnostic criteria, symptoms, and measurements reflect the patient's condition. To increase reliability, it is necessary to use reliable methods, conduct studies with a large sample and well-trained specialists.

Reduced validity occurs when clinical symptoms, tests, or questionnaires used to diagnose a disease do not accurately reflect reality. Such inaccuracies may arise due to one or several reasons. For example, one laboratory may have a difference in results when analyzing
