In an analysis of all patients, score cutoff values of 2 and 3 points for FDP, d-dimer, and SFMC were recommended to be 8.3 and 42.0 μg/mL, 2.4 and 22.0 μg/mL, and 3.4 and 138.0 μg/mL, respectively. In conclusion, the adequate cutoff value is thus considered to be useful ...

When a quantitative variable is used as a diagnostic test to distinguish between ill patients (cases) and not-ill controls, many authors calculate the ROC-curve and subsequently choose a cutoff-value that opti- mizes decision making in a certain respects. If it is deemed, for instance, much...
It's time to use an age-based approach to D-dimer: an age-adjusted D-dimer cutoff - rather than the conventional 500 mcg/L value - is a better way to rule out VTE in patients over 50 Sensitivity and specificity results were used to generate a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) cur...
Our analysis indicates that the e value cutoff that is used as a criterion in the construction of the genome content matrix is a critical factor in both the accuracy and information content of the analysis. Strikingly, genome content by itself is not a reliable or accurate source of characters...

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to examine the validity of 140 mg/dL cutoff value in oral glucose challenge test screening for gestational diabetes mellitus when including in the group to be identified women fulfilling more inclusive Carpenter and Coustan criteria for 100-g oral glucose tolerance testing...
The conventional cutoff value of CEA (5 ng/mL) was an independent prognostic factor on the whole. However, when evaluated in subgroups, it was not a prognostic factor in stage I or stage III of N2. A subgroup analysis according to TNM stage revealed different CEA distributions and recurrence...
I'm running bdgcallpeak on a bedGraph file optained from an input normalised bigwig file (operation used was subtraction). The minimum value in the file is approximately -5000, and the maximum is approx 1600. Therefore, when running bdgcallpeak with cutoff-analysis to see how many peaks di...
Per-episode and per-test analyses and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to determine the optimal cutoff value. Results. In the per-episode analysis, lowering the cutoff OD index for positivity from 1.5 to 0.5 increased the overall sensitivity by 21% (from 76.3% to 97.4%) but ...
