Why you might see this term
Different methods can give different results. A clinician should explain why testing is being considered and whether it could change a decision.
What to keep in mind
There is no single universally agreed threshold across methods, and evidence for treatments offered after a high result is uncertain. It is not a routine requirement for everyone.
