What is a good health check? An interview study of health check providers’ views and practices
BACKGROUND Health checks identify (risk factors for) disease in people without symptoms. They may be offered by the government through population screenings and by other providers to individual users as 'personal health checks'. Health check providers' perspective of 'good' health checks may further the debate on the ethical evaluation and possible regulation of these personal health checks. ...
متن کاملA clinical evaluation of various delta check methods.
To evaluate the performance of delta check techniques, we analyzed 707 unselected pairs of continuous-flow test results, using three different delta check methods. If any of the test results (plus the urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio and the anion gap) failed one of the checks, the reason for the failure was sought by examining subsequent test results, retesting specimens, and (or) reviewing te p...
متن کاملMultivariate delta check method for detecting specimen mix-up.
Among laboratory mistakes, "specimen mix-up" is the most frequent and the most serious. According to the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory Error Report of Toranomon Hospital, specimen mix-up was often detected when there were many large discrepancies between the results of a test and the results of a previous test. We present here a checking method to detect specimen mix-up. The method, which we ca...
متن کاملDifferential application of rate and delta check on selected clinical chemistry tests.
Through the present delta value check used in quality control programs is a powerful tool for detecting random errors in clinical chemistry analysis, it has some problems, such as missed true errors and delays in reporting time, because it also has the potential of showing erroneous positive results. Recently, new calculation methods for delta check with delta difference, delta percent change, ...
متن کاملParallel Sigma-Delta ADC Structures Density Parity Check Code Decoders and Low Complexity Techniques for Low
In this thesis, contributions are made in the area of receivers for wireless communication standards. The thesis consists of two parts, focusing on implementations of forward error correction using low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, and highbandwidth analog-to-digital converters (ADC) using sigma-delta modulators. LDPC codes have received wide-spread attention since 1995 as practical capaci...
