Flexible combination of multiple diagnostic biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy
BACKGROUND In medical research, it is common to collect information of multiple continuous biomarkers to improve the accuracy of diagnostic tests. Combining the measurements of these biomarkers into one single score is a popular practice to integrate the collected information, where the accuracy of the resultant diagnostic test is usually improved. To measure the accuracy of a diagnostic test, ...
متن کاملHow to Improve Diagnostic Accuracy in Suspicious Ampullary Lesions?
cases of ampullary lesions, differential diagnosis between tumors and inflammation by endoscopic findings is sometimes challenging. Even if operators have experience in endo-scopic techniques, diagnostic accuracy by gross morphology is only 67%. Although histologic evaluation of ampullary le-sions with forceps biopsy is performed during endoscopy, there is still a risk of false negativity for t...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Transvaginal Sonography in Infertile Patients with Endometrial Polyps
Background To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in infertile patients and compare its results with hysteroscopy as the gold standard. MaterialsAndMethods A total of 679 infertile women who underwent both TVS and diagnostic hysteroscopy were retrospectively investigated. TVS was performed in the mid-follicular phase (days 5-8) of their cycles. Sensitivity specific...
متن کاملEvaluation of the accuracy of physicians’ diagnostic performances in patients with suspected acute appendicitis
Introduction: With a prevalence rate of 7-8 percent, acute appendicitis is one of the most common public surgical emergencies worldwide. Given the complications of this disease because of lack of medical diagnosis and not on-time arrival of patients, this study evaluated the diagnostic performance of physicians (general or specialist) in patients with suspected appendicitis admitted in Imam Rez...
متن کاملA min-max combination of biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy.
Diagnostic accuracy can be improved considerably by combining multiple biomarkers. Although the likelihood ratio provides optimal solution to combination of biomarkers, the method is sensitive to distributional assumptions which are often difficult to justify. Alternatively simple linear combinations can be considered whose empirical solution may encounter intensive computation when the number ...
