Existing research addresses these diagnostic failures separately, and no published review organizes the diagnostic challenge by stages. In this study, we reviewed the evidence on exposure-informed assessment and developed a clinical framework that illustrates the stages of diagnostic loss.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_dx-2026-0165_abs_002\">\n                    <jats:title>Content<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Building on the principles of the HIV care cascade, we conducted a framework synthesis. We searched Europe PMC, web-based sources, grey literature, and major burden-estimation reports for literature published from January 2000 onward. All the identified studies were categorized into six stages, namely clinical detection; disease classification; etiological attribution; reporting or compensation; death registration; cause-of-death coding. These studies were also further subdivided based upon the type of evidence provided; whether they showed changes in individual patient diagnoses or were solely derived from population trends or associated clinical findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_dx-2026-0165_abs_003\">\n                    <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixty-one sources contributed 64 findings. One study documented a change in individual diagnoses after systematic exposure assessment. At the population level, two studies found associations between exposure and increased prevalence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Other studies described exposure-disease relationships including instances of gaps in screening and reporting, and limitations of gathering mortality records and accurately estimating disease burden. At the patient level, the evidence was sparse.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_dx-2026-0165_abs_004\">\n                    <jats:title>Outlook<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This synthesis is hypothesis-generating. Routine clinical assessment may miss or misattribute common diseases when exposure history is treated as peripheral, instead of as a major part of the initial risk model. The clinical framework developed in this study demonstrates instances in which exposure-informed care could alter detection, classification, attribution, and management. Further studies are needed to establish and fully integrate it into clinical care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/dx-2026-0165","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,23]],"date-time":"2026-10-23T14:56:01Z","timestamp":1792767361000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Clinical detection and attribution of common disease in exposed populations"],"prefix":"10.1515","author":[{"given":"Shadrack Osei","family":"Frimpong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yale School of Medicine , New Haven , CT , USA"},{"name":"Department of Public Health and Primary Care , University of Cambridge , Cambridge , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Newlove","family":"Nkegbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tarkwa Breman Community Clinic, Cocoa360 , Tarkwa Breman , Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoeku","family":"Sam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tarkwa Breman Community Clinic, Cocoa360 , Tarkwa Breman , Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moro","family":"Seidu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tarkwa Breman Community Clinic, Cocoa360 , Tarkwa Breman , Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elijah E.","family":"Paintsil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yale School of Medicine , New Haven , CT , USA"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics , Boston Medical Center , Boston , MA , USA"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics , Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine , Boston , MA , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026102314555524794_j_dx-2026-0165_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Johnson, RJ, Wesseling, C, Newman, LS.
