Rezumat	Adaptive screening test evaluation is a psychometric and epidemiological framework for designing and assessing screening instruments whose item selection or stopping rules adjust dynamically to each respondent's response pattern. Rooted in item response theory (IRT) and computerized adaptive testing (CAT), the method uses real-time ability or severity estimates to present only the most informative items, then evaluates the resulting screening decisions against a clinical reference standard using standard diagnostic accuracy metrics.	Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) is an individualized assessment methodology in which a computer algorithm selects successive test items based on a running estimate of each examinee's latent ability. Grounded in Item Response Theory, CAT dynamically tailors the item sequence so that each question is optimally informative given the current ability estimate. The framework was systematized and popularized by Howard Wainer and colleagues through the foundational primer first published in 1990 and expanded in the 2000 second edition.
