Regarding the clinical reasoning process, the focus has primarily been on diagnostic reasoning and diagnostic errors, but little research has been done on the subsequent management reasoning process, although the therapeutic decision-making process is at least equally important. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of therapeutic decision errors and the cognitive factors leading to these errors in the context of osteoporosis, as it is known to be frequently associated with inadequate treatment decisions in clinical practice worldwide.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In 2019, 19 medical students and\u2014for comparison\u201423 physicians worked on ten patient cases with the medical encounter of osteoporosis. A total of 254 cases were processed. The therapeutic decision errors were quantitatively measured, and the participants\u2019 cognitive contributions to therapeutic errors and their clinical consequences were qualitatively analysed.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In 26% of the cases, all treatment decisions were correct. In the remaining 74% cases, multiple errors occurred; on average, 3 errors occurred per case. These 644 errors were further classified regarding the cognitive contributions to the error. The most common cognitive contributions that led to errors were faulty context generation and interpretation (57% of students, 57% of physicians) and faulty knowledge (38% of students, 35% of physicians). Errors made due to faulty metacognition (5% of students, 8% of physicians) were less common. Consequences of these errors were false therapy (37% of cases), undertreatment (30% of cases) or overtreatment (2.5% of cases).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The study is the first to show that errors in therapy decisions can be distinguished and classified, similar to the already known classification for errors in diagnostic reasoning. Not only the correct diagnosis, but particularly the correct therapy, is critical for the outcome of a patient.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12909-022-03384-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,26]],"date-time":"2022-04-26T23:03:43Z","timestamp":1651014223000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Types of therapeutic errors in the management of osteoporosis made by physicians and medical students"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Olivia","family":"Tausendfreund","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leah T.","family":"Braun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ralf","family":"Schmidmaier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,27]]},"reference":[{"issue":"Suppl 2","key":"3384_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"ii21","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjqs-2012-001615","volume":"22","author":"ML Graber","year":"2013","unstructured":"Graber ML.
