Summary

Diagnostic errors are common in patients with abdominal pain. This study found that errors often stem from misinterpreting physical exams or imaging findings and difficulty distinguishing between conditions within the same organ system. Improving bedside assessment skills, using structured differential diagnosis approaches, and strengthening radiology support may help reduce errors and improve patient safety.
