Assessment of Temporal Somatosensory Discrimination in Females with Fibromyalgia: Reliability and Discriminative Ability of a New Assessment Tool [PDF]
SensorsWe assessed the test–retest reliability and discriminative ability of a somatosensory temporal discrimination (SSTD) assessment tool for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and determined if pain-related variables were associated with SSTD performance.

Discriminative ability of quality of life measures in multiple sclerosis [PDF]
Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2017 Background Though many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) have comorbidities, the use of generic and disease-specific health related quality of life (HRQOL) scales to discriminate the effects of comorbidity has not been established. The utility of these

The calibrated model-based concordance improved assessment of discriminative ability in patient clusters of limited sample size [PDF]
Diagnostic and Prognostic Research, 2019 Background Discriminative ability is an important aspect of prediction model performance, but challenging to assess in clustered (e.g., multicenter) data. Concordance (c)-indexes may be too extreme within small clusters. We aimed to define a new approach

Assessing discriminative ability of risk models in clustered data. [PDF]
BMC Med Res Methodol, 2014 BACKGROUND: The discriminative ability of a risk model is often measured by Harrell's concordance-index (c-index). The c-index estimates for two randomly chosen subjects the probability that the model predicts a higher risk for the subject with poorer ...

Accurate SARC-F Score in Patients with Liver Disease
Diagnostics, 2023 SARC-F is a well-accepted screening tool for sarcopenia. A SARC-F value of 1 point is reported to be more discriminating in identifying sarcopenia than 4 points (recommended cutoff point).
