How Can Epidemiologists Estimate the Prevalence of Undiagnosed Conditions?
Estimating the prevalence of undiagnosed conditions is challenging but essential. Epidemiologists often use screening programs and surveys to identify undiagnosed cases. They may also use mathematical models to estimate the number of undiagnosed cases based on known data. For example, the ratio of diagnosed to undiagnosed cases in a similar population can provide insights into the undiagnosed burden.
