Trial Identification

Brief Title: Nevus Doctor Clinical Decision Support

Official Title: Nevus Doctor Clinical Decision Support Program for Pigmented Skin Lesions and Melanoma

Study ID: NCT02012751

Conditions

Nevus
Melanoma

Study Description

Brief Summary: The "Nevus doctor" is a dermatoscopy based computer decision support tool to assist general practitioners (GPs) in the classification of pigmented skin lesions (PSLs). The aim of the program "Nevus doctor" is to help GPs increase their diagnostic accuracy, in particular regarding the selection of suspicious PSLs that need biopsy or referral to specialist health care for further assessment. The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic performance of the decision support tool in a primary care setting in Norway. We hypothesize that the diagnostic accuracy of the computer program "Nevus doctor" is better than the performance of the GPs.

Detailed Description: In the trial GPs examine patients who attend a primary health care center. A given PSL is first assessed clinically by the GP and afterwards photographed. A clinical photograph as well as a dermatoscopic photograph is taken, the latter using a dermatoscope attached to the lens of the camera. The dermatoscopic image is then processed by the computer program. The performance of "Nevus doctor" is compared with the GPs' assessment. A dermatologist reviews all cases based on the clinical and dermatoscopic photographs and this assessment serves as the reference standard.
