Interpreting the results of a Bland Altman method
ثبت نشده
چکیده
When developing a new method to measure the concentration or the quantity of an element (molecule, micro organism, ...) you might want to check whether it gives results that are similar to a reference or comparative method or not. If there is a difference, you might be interested in knowing if this is due to a bias that depends on where you are on the scale variation. If a new measurement method is cheaper than a standard, but if there is a known and fixed bias, you might take into account the bias while reporting the results. XLSTAT provides a series of tools to evaluate the performance of a method compared to another.

Application of Bland-Altman Method in Comparing Transrectal and Transabdominal Ultrasonography for Estimating Prostate Volume
Background: Estimating prostate volume using less invasive transabdominal ultrasonography (TAUS) instead of transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) is of interest in terms of identifying their agreement level. Previous reports on this subject, applied general correlation coefficient as the level of agreement. This study uses Bland-Altman method to quantify TAUS and TRUS agreement on estimating prost...
متن کاملComparison of Microbiological and High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Methods for Determination of Clarithromycin Levels in Plasma
An agar well diffusion bioassay method for determination of clarithromycin in human plasma, using Micrococcus Luteus ATCC 9341 as the assay organism, was compared with a selective high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with UV detection. Spiked plasma was used to prepare standard and control samples for both methods. The results of the bioassay analyses with spiked plasma samples...

متن کاملTesting the agreement of medical instruments: overestimation of bias in the Bland-Altman analysis.
OBJECTIVES The Bland-Altman method is the most popular method used to assess the agreement of medical instruments. The main concern about this method is the presence of proportional bias. The slope of the regression line fitted to the Bland-Altman plot should be tested to exclude proportional bias. The aim of this study was to determine whether the overestimation of bias in the Bland-Altman ana...
