AB New  or  unexplained  symptoms  account  for  about  half  of  all  office  visits.  Evidence-based  symptom  evaluation  combines  knowledge  of  a  symptom's  clinical  epidemiology  with  disease  candidates  according  to  Bayesian  principles,  such  that  the  likelihood  of  a  specific  disease  is  a  function  of  patient  demographics,  comorbidities,  and  clinical  features.  This  knowledge  supports  decisions  about  further  testing  or  treatment.
