Improved reference-interval estimation.
We used two standard methods (the common percentile and the log-power gaussian transformation) and two novel methods (weighted percentile and smoothed spline interpolation) to estimate the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of 1000 sets of data from eight diverse distributional forms, generated by Monte Carlo simulation. For each distributional form we derived an estimate of optimal performance. Alth...
متن کاملEstimation of the serial interval of pertussis in Dutch households.
Increasing incidence has led to the re-appearance of pertussis as a public health problem in developed countries. Pertussis infection is usually mild in vaccinated children and adults, but it can be fatal in infants who are too young for effective vaccination (≤3 months).

The aim of this study was to further elucidate clinical and prognostic importance of prolonged PR interval in a large middle-aged population wit...

متن کاملReference interval for thyrotropin in a ultrasonography screened Korean population
BACKGROUND/AIMS The diagnostic accuracy of thyroid dysfunctions is primarily affected by the validity of the reference interval for serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Thus, the present study aimed to establish a reference interval for TSH using a normal Korean population. METHODS This study included 19,465 subjects who were recruited after undergoing routine health check-ups. Subjects w...
