Diagnostic studies as multivariable, prediction research

diagnostic accuracy of the multivariable apnea prediction (map) index as a screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea

background and objective: obstructive sleep apnea (osa) is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing. multivariable apnea prediction (map) index consists of three questions about the frequency of osa symptoms plus body mass index (bmi), age and sex that categorizes the patients to low and high risk for osa using a formula. objective map index was calculated by discounting the questions...

Diagnostic Accuracy of the Multivariable Apnea Prediction (MAP) Index as a Screening Tool for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Background and Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing. Multivariable apnea prediction (MAP) index consists of three questions about the frequency of OSA symptoms plus body mass index (BMI), age and sex that categorizes the patients to low and high risk for OSA using a formula. Objective MAP index was calculated by discounting the questions...

Problems with Existing Prediction Studies and Future Research Needs

Case studies as a research tool.

Design Science Research as Research Approach in Doctoral Studies

Since the use of design science research (DSR) gained momentum as a research approach in information systems (IS), the adoption of a DSR approach in postgraduate studies became more acceptable. This paper reflects on a study to investigate how a selection of IS doctoral students conducted their research and why they used DSR. The study focussed in particular on the topics of the theses, the art...
