Laboratory-associated and diagnostic errors: a neglected link

open access: yesDiagnosis, 2014
AbstractClinical laboratories play a vital role in patient care, but many diagnostic errors are associated with laboratory testing. The past decades have seen sustained improvements in analytical performances but the error rates, particularly in pre- and post-analytical phases is still high. Although the seminal concept of the brain-to-brain laboratory

Investigating the accuracy of adjusting for examiner differences in multi-centre Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs). A simulation study of video-based Examiner Score Comparison and Adjustment (VESCA)

open access: yesBMC Medical Education
Introduction Ensuring examiner equivalence across distributed assessment locations is a priority within distributed Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs) but is challenging as examiners are typically fully nested within locations (i.e.

Surgical Options for the Refractive Correction of Keratoconus: Myth or Reality

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmology, 2017
Keratoconus provides a decrease of quality of life to the patients who suffer from it. The treatment used as well as the method to correct the refractive error of these patients may influence on the impact of the disease on their quality of life.

Placing Multiple Tests on a Common Scale Using a Post-test Anchor Design: Effects of Item Position and Order on the Stability of Parameter Estimates

open access: yesFrontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2018
When there is an interest in tracking longitudinal trends of student educational achievement using standardized tests, the most common linking approach generally involves the inclusion of a common set of items across adjacent test administrations ...

Domain estimation under informative linkage

open access: yesStatistical Theory and Related Fields, 2019
A standard assumption when modelling linked sample data is that the stochastic properties of the linking process and process underpinning the population values of the response variable are independent of one another.

A variational framework for residual-based adaptivity in neural PDE solvers and operator learning

open access: yesnpj Artificial Intelligence
Residual-based adaptive strategies are widely used in scientific machine learning yet remain largely heuristic. We introduce a variational framework that formalizes these methods through convex transformations of the residual, where different ...
