Foreword to third edition

Last year, I celebrated my 30th year as a doctor and my son began his training
as a (graduate entry) medical student. I have come to enjoy the intergenera-
tional ‘grand rounds’ in which one of us describes a case in the time-hon-
oured format—starting with a structured history, going on to the clinical
examination and adding diagnostic tests that progress from the simple and
non-invasive to all the wonders and dreads of modern technology—while
the other tries to guess the diagnosis from as few clues as possible. Given
that most medical knowledge now lies in the category ‘forgotten by the
mother and not yet encountered by the son’, this book is likely to become
well thumbed by both of us as we play our diagnostic game.
Much of this book reflects the fact that Huw Llewelyn is a mathematician
and logician as well as a highly experienced physician. In many cases, diagno-
sis can and should be a process of deduction that begins with a ‘diagnostic
lead’ (a single symptom or sign, such as ‘right iliac fossa pain’, that gets you
started), the cause of which can be progressively narrowed and refined by
incorporating factors such as age and gender; the timing and speed of onset;
the pattern of associated symptoms, signs and pre-existing conditions; and
the results of investigations. Frontal headache in a teenager who was well
until yesterday is likely to have a different cause from frontal headache that
has been present for many months in a 65-year-old with hypertension
and depression. Evidence can often be collected in the history and clini-
cal examination that is ‘suggestive’ or ‘confirmatory’ (use these terms with
care—they are defined in the book) of particular diagnostic possibilities.
More rarely, certain tests or combinations of tests can effectively ‘rule in’
or ‘rule out’ certain diagnostic options.
You probably knew all that already, so what will you learn from this book
that goes beyond standard teaching on clinical diagnosis? For me, the added
value was in the sophistication with which the principles of probability and
decision science have been applied to the many and varied challenges of
clinical practice. The book’s (mainly implicit) message is that if you take a
logical and step-wise approach, using your experience, history-taking skills,
and clinical acumen to select the best diagnostic leads and add granularity
to your decision tree, you will often render costly and unpleasant diagnostic
tests redundant. Less commonly, you will justify the expense and inconven-
ience of such tests in selected patients.
The skilled diagnostician is not the one who rattles off a long list of differ-
ential diagnoses for every symptom, applies algorithms mechanically, ticks
all the boxes on a blood request form or scans the head of every patient
with blurred vision. Rather, the skilled diagnostician is the one who com-
bines thoughtful history-taking, focused clinical examination, and judicious
investigation so that each successive step contributes to an emerging picture
of the problem and informs the selection of the next step. As the authors
say (p.20), ‘It is important to understand that clinical diagnosis is not a static
classification system based on diagnostic criteria or their probable presence.
It is a dynamic process.’
vi FOREWORD TO THIRD EDITION

The bulk of the book is a treasure-trove of diagnostic puzzles from red


throat to wasting of the small muscles of the hands, from which I predict
hours of fun for students and seasoned clinicians alike. There are also sec-
tions on biochemical conundrums such as hyponatraemia, and radiologi-
cal old chestnuts such as a round opacity on the chest X-ray. Reassuringly,
theoretical sections such as ‘Grappling with Probabilities’ and ‘Bayes’ and
other rules’ are relegated to a final chapter that can be safely omitted by
those whose interests are more clinical than mathematical.
Despite its emphasis on deductive logic, this book is by no means an
uncritical offering to the gods of decision science. Llewelyn and his coau-
thors are careful to point out (as Dave Sackett and colleagues did back in
the 970s) that many diagnoses are made intuitively—for example via the
pattern recognition that allows us to look at a patient and instantly think
‘Down’s syndrome’ or ‘chicken-pox’. They also remind us that mild symp-
toms are often both non-specific and self-limiting (hence may need no more
active management than advising the patient to return if not improving), and
they warn us of the dangers of over-diagnosis and that increasingly com-
mon problem in modern diagnostics, the ‘incidentaloma’.
Like the birth of a third child, the publication of the third edition of a
book is cause for much celebration: it tends to both reflect and build on
significant success with earlier versions. Perhaps it is too early to encourage
the authors of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Diagnosis (3rd edition) to
contemplate a companion volume to this magnum opus. But if they were
open to such a suggestion, I would encourage them to team up with experts
in public understanding of science and produce a version of the book aimed
at patients and carers. After all, if your patients were reading the wisdom
distilled in these pages, that would surely make for some interesting and
productive conversations.

Preface

This book helps doctors and students to arrive at a diagnosis, and to explain
and to justify their reasoning, especially when seeing patients with new
problems that lie outside their personal range of experience. This will hap-
pen very frequently to students, frequently to house officers, but will still
happen regularly to very experienced senior hospital doctors and general
practitioners.
The book adopts the approach used by experienced diagnosticians, by
focusing on the finding with the shortest differential diagnosis (i.e. the best
diagnostic lead). It describes the differential diagnoses of such findings that
may be encountered by a reader in the history, examination and usual pre-
liminary tests and how the diagnoses can be confirmed. It describes what
tactics to adopt in order to find better leads, while not losing sight of the
patient’s original concern. The probability and set theory of this process is
explained in Chapter 3.
The entries on each page of the book resemble a traditional past medi-
cal history with multiple diagnoses. The reader scans down the page to
see which of the diagnoses with its findings match the patient’s findings so
far. The compatible findings can then be used as evidence for the diagnosis
and treatment, to be shared with the patient and other members of the
multidisciplinary team, such as nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and
other professionals allied to medicine. It can be used to create high-quality
discharge or handover summaries.
Patients or their carers may wish to share in the diagnostic and
decision-making process. In order to do this, they need to know what prob-
lems have been identified and the tests and treatments being proposed.
They will need to know which of these diagnoses explain each problem and
treatment. They may also need to know which findings are being used to
confirm each diagnosis, and to choose its treatments and to mark the out-
come. The book describes how this information can be provided in writing.
The patient or carer will then be in a position to explain all this to another
doctor, if necessary.
In this third edition, there are sections on each page that show how the
diagnosis may be finalized by the outcome of management. This replaces the
section in the second edition that described the ‘initial management’ of the
condition. The purpose of this is to show how the response of treatment,
etc., affects the diagnostic process. Chest X-ray images have been added to
illustrate the findings in Chapter 2. The appendix of the second edition has
been replaced by Chapter 3 in this third edition and explains the basis of
evidence-based differential diagnosis and diagnostic confirmation.
