[2025-09-25T12:25:17.596459] [PI reasoning] **Evaluating screening tests**

I need to determine whether late-night salivary cortisol (LNSC) is effective for diagnosing Cushing's syndrome. It’s often used as a screening test, particularly in obese type 2 diabetics, where prevalence might be higher. However, there could be concerns about false positives. Literature, such as the study by Ramos-Levi et al. (2012), suggests that LNSC may be less accurate due to high false positive rates in this population. I might conclude LNSC isn't the best option for screening in these cases.
