26 Model 3’s QIC demonstrated best fit and is presented in the results as the adjusted estimates. All statistical tests were 2-sided and conducted with an α of less than .05. All analyses were performed using SAS software, version 9.4 (SAS Institute). Results Of 3718 pregnancies from ...
Abstract Serological tests are important to detect autoantibodies (autoAbs) in patients with autoimmune neuropathies (AN) and myasthenia gravis (MG) as they are biomarkers for diagnosis, stratification, treatment selection, and monitoring. However, tests to detect autoAbs frequently lack proper standardiz...
Of 356 patients, 30 underwent further testing because of abnormalities in laboratory work. This represented 30 of 1,872 tests (1.60%). Only 1 patient benefited from a subsequent change in management. Conclusions Laboratory testing in CUA patients referred for an Allergy and Immunology evaluation ...
The validation procedure itself should be performed only once, but an ongoing process is needed to monitor whether the test is still fit for the intended purpose by participation in the quality assessment plan [2,28]. Reference standard Existing tests in the laboratory or reference tests [6].Be...
The diagnosis of SBIs was performed according to standard medical procedures, such as physical examina- tion, laboratory tests, bacterial cultures and imaging. Secondary end-points were reported by each patient in a specific diary, including number of days off school/work, days of hospitalization ...
Development and application of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test to index lettuce seeds for lettuce mosaic virus in Florida. Double antibody sandwich ELISA tests showed no differences for 6 geographically different LMV isolates and the percentage of LMV in 4 seed lots proved simi.....
Overall, the MultiCoV-Ab achieved a sensitivity of 88.3% and a specificity of 100% in this initial set of samples using IgG detection (Table 1). When comparing the results of the commercial IVD tests to the respective manufacturers’ specifications, all tests were unable to reach their stated...
All analyses were done using SAS version 9.3 for Windows (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA), and all statistical tests were performed at the two-tails significance level of 0.05. Results We identified 11,071 RA subjects who met the selection criteria within the study period. Among those,...
The scope of our research, which processed and analyzed more than 10,000 fluorescence tests in a routine laboratory setting, was (1) to compare the positive and negative results between the automated and conventional visual approaches, (2) to build the cutoff LIU for different patterns as well...
