Measurement error correction for logistic regression models with an "alloyed gold standard".
Recently, some authors have questioned the validity of methods which correct relative risk estimates for measurement error and misclassification when the "gold standard" used to obtain information about the measurement error process is itself imperfect. When such an "alloyed" gold standard is used to validate the usual exposure measurement, the bias in the "regression calibration" (Rosner et al...
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...
متن کاملInappropriate gold standard bias in cervical cancer screening studies.
As acetic acid-aided visual inspection (VIA) and colposcopic-directed biopsy miss small >/=cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2, inflation of sensitivity of VIA may occur when colposcopic-directed biopsy is the gold standard for >/=CIN 2. To determine whether such inflation occurs, we reviewed 375 women with >/=CIN 2 from the Shanxi Province Cervical Cancer Screening Study II. These women...
متن کاملCreatinine as the gold standard for kidney injury biomarker studies?
Before 2005, when the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative proposed a consensus definition [1], acute kidney injury (formerly known as ‘acute renal failure’) was identified by most clinicians in the way that Justice Potter Stewart identified obscenity: they knew it when they saw it. Epidemiologists and clinical researchers, who needed an objective criterion, seemed to devise a different definition...
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...
