[Statistical considerations on the evaluation of the Krogh-Poulsen clinical functional analysis]

361 patients, who five years previously were supplied with removable partial protheses, were submitted to Krogh-Poulson clinical function analyses. The test showed no suggestion of functional disturbances in only 12% of patients. Investigations showed that the test should be improved as to reliability, objectivity and validity before being used as a screening procedure in practice.
