Scope note: Teorema de la teoría probabilística denominado en honor a Thomas Bayes (1702-1761). Se utiliza en EPIDEMIOLOGÍA para obtener la probabilidad de una enfermedad en un grupo de personas con determinadas características atendiendo a la tasa global de dicha enfermedad y a la probabilidad de que se den tales características en individuos sanos y enfermos. La aplicación más común se da en el análisis de decisiones clínicas, en el que se utiliza para estimar la probabilidad de un determinado diagnóstico ante determinados síntomas o resultados de pruebas.

Scope note: A theorem in probability theory named for Thomas Bayes (1702-1761). In epidemiology, it is used to obtain the probability of disease in a group of people with some characteristic on the basis of the overall rate of that disease and of the likelihood of that characteristic in healthy and diseased individuals. The most familiar application is in clinical decision analysis where it is used for estimating the probability of a particular diagnosis given the appearance of some symptoms or test result.
