Nutritional Anthropometry--Validity of Cut-off Points
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1993The present communication seeks to describe an alternate approach of arriving at cut-off levels using ratio of percentiles for (i) differentiating normal children from the undernourished ones, and (ii) identifying the severely undernourished group of children in the community on the basis of body weight and height.

Refining the Apgar score cut-off point for newborns at risk
Acta Paediatrica, 2004Aim: To evaluate the Apgar score predictive power for mortality during different periods in the first year of life in a population with a very low mortality rate. Methods: The records of all singleton live births without severe congenital malformations and length of gestation >25 wk (n= 976635) were collected from the Swedish Medical Birth Registry,

The bruxism construct: From cut‐off points to a continuum spectrum
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2019Abstract This commentary discusses the need to move on from the adoption of cut‐off points for the definition of the presence/absence of bruxism and justifies the need to embrace an evaluation based on the continuum of jaw motor behaviours.

Sensory Cut-Off Point Obtained From Survival Analysis Statistics [PDF]
Food Quality and Preference, 2015 In the present work we applied interval-censored survival analysis techniques to estimate sensory cut-off points based on consumer’s decision to accept or reject food products taking into account the inherent variability in sensory measurements.

The Costs of Treating Hypertension — An Analysis of Different Cut-Off Points
Health Policy, 1991In this article the effects of different cut-off points for hypertension treatment are analysed, with respect to treatment costs. A theoretical blood pressure distribution is used to calculate the potential annual cost of treating all persons in Sweden above certain cut-off points for drug treatment.

Cut-off Point of the Scoliometer in School Scoliosis Screening
Spine, 1997A large-scale study on school screening for scoliosis was conducted to assess the referral rate, prevalence rate, and positive predictive value using different angles of trunk rotation as criteria for referral.To determine an ideal angle of trunk rotation cut-off point to be used for referral in school screening for scoliosis.When using the Scoliometer

Primary aldosteronism: Aldosterone/renin ratio cut-off points
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición (English ed.), 2019Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of endocrine hypertension, with a prevalence rate of 6-12% in hypertensive patients. Aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR) is the screening test of choice for PA. Because of the variable cut-off points of ARR, reference values related to the populations and methods considered are recommended.(i)To optimize ...
