Comparing the predictive values of diagnostic tests: sample size and analysis for paired study designs.
BACKGROUND Although statistical methodology is well developed for comparing diagnostic tests in terms of their sensitivities and specificities, comparative inference about predictive values is not. PURPOSE In this paper we consider the design and analysis of studies comparing the positive and negative predictive values of two diagnostic tests that are measured on all subjects. METHODS We fo...
متن کاملComparison of serological and real-time PCR assays to diagnose Bordetella pertussis infection in 2007.
Bacterial culture for diagnosing pertussis infection has high specificity but poor sensitivity and is slow. Highly sensitive real-time PCR assays and single-serum pertussis serology have been developed to overcome these limitations, but there are few data available on the relative sensitivities and specificities of such assays for pertussis diagnosis. Using data on 195 participants (>or=7 years...
متن کاملClosed formulas for the price and sensitivities of European options under a double exponential jump diffusion model
We derive closed formulas for the prices of European options andtheir sensitivities when the underlying asset follows a double-exponentialjump diffusion model, as considered by S. Kou in 2002. This author hasderived the option price by making use of double series where each termrequires the computation of a sequence of special functions, such thatthe implementation remains difficult for a large...
متن کاملSpecific Taenia crassiceps and Taenia solium antigenic peptides for neurocysticercosis immunodiagnosis using serum samples.
Neurocysticercosis (NC), i.e., the presence of the larval form of Taenia solium in tissues, is the most frequent and severe infection involving the central nervous system. Paired serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients with NC, CSF and serum samples from a control group, and serum samples from patients with other parasitoses were studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (E...
متن کاملDetection of Primary Malignancy and Metastases with FDG PET/CT in Patients with Cholangiocarcinomas: Lesion-based Comparison with Contrast Enhanced CT
The current National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines consider the role of 2-deoxy-2-(18)F-fluoro-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computer tomography (FDG PET/CT) in the evaluation of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) as "uncertain," and have recommended contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) but not FDG PET/CT as a routine imaging test for CCA workup. We set out to compare th...
