A comparison between descending phlebography and duplex Doppler investigation in the evaluation of reflux in chronic venous insufficiency: a challenge to phlebography as the "gold standard".
To evaluate venous reflux in 56 lower limbs of 32 consecutive patients, hemodynamic tests, ascending and descending phlebography, and supine and erect quantitative duplex scanning were performed and the clinical severity was classified (class 0 = 15, class 1 = 19, class 2 = 8, and class 3 = 14). Of the 56 lower limbs, 22 (40%) had severe swelling and hyperpigmentation with or without ulcer (cla...
متن کاملAutopsy as gold standard in FDG-PET studies in dementia.
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is increasingly used as an adjunct to clinical evaluation in the diagnosis of dementia. Considering that most FDG-PET studies in dementia use clinical diagnosis as gold standard and that clinical diagnosis is approximately 80% sensitive or accurate, we aim to review the evidence-based data on the diagnostic accuracy of...

Epidemiologists and clinical researchers, who needed an objective criterion, seemed to devise a different definition...
متن کاملIn Search of a Gold Standard in Studies of Deception
In this study, we explore several popular techniques for obtaining corpora for deception research. Through a survey of traditional as well as non-gold standard creation approaches, we identify advantages and limitations of these techniques for webbased deception detection and offer crowdsourcing as a novel avenue toward achieving a gold standard corpus. Through an indepth case study of online h...
