The Negative Predictive Value of Typing Safe Local Anesthetics

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2013
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Although allergy to local anesthetics (LA) is rare, patients often report unwanted reactions after their administration. A history of anaphylaxis or an atypical reaction related to LA is an indication for typing a safe anesthetic for future surgical or dental procedures. <b><i>Aim:</i>&

Using Negative Predictive Values

Pediatrics, 2006
To the Editor .— In “Poor Predictive Validity of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development for Cognitive Function of Extremely Low Birth Weight Children at School Age,”1,2 we learn that things have not changed in the last 40 years. Early mental tests are still poor predictors of later intelligence,3 and normality at early ages is a better predictor of ...

Negative predictive value of drug provocation tests in children

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, 2014
AbstractBackgroundThe negative predictive value of the drug provocation test is important for both the patient and the physician. However, in children, this predictive value is unresolved.MethodsThe study included patients who had drug provocation test with a suspected drug and was diagnosed as ‘not allergic to the drug’.

Negative predictive value of procalcitonin in medullary thyroid carcinoma

Annales de biologie clinique, 2016
Calcitonin (CT), the major biochemical marker in medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is prone to in vitro instability and suffers from scarcity of clinical laboratory platforms. Procalcitonin (PCT), the precursor of CT, free of these shortcomings, has been reported as a potential MTC marker.

Binary regression: Total gain in positive and negative predictive values

Biometrical Journal, 2012
Models that predict disease incidence or disease recurrence are attractive for clinicians as well as for patients. The usefulness of a risk prediction model is linked to the two questions whether the observed outcome is confirmed by the prediction and whether the risk prediction is accurate in predicting the future outcome, respectively.

Negative and positive predictive values of nerve monitoring in thyroidectomy

Head & Neck, 2011
AbstractBackgroundRecurrent nerve injury is 1 of the most important complications of thyroidectomy. During the last decade, nerve monitoring has gained increasing acceptance in several centers as a method to predict and to document nerve function at the end of the operation. We evaluated the efficacy of a nerve monitoring system in a series of patients

Predictive value of prostatic adenocarcinoma after a negative prostate biopsy

BJU International, 2006
OBJECTIVE To investigate the predictive value (PV) for all prostate cancers and for clinically significant cancer undiagnosed after a 10‐core biopsy protocol, as the 10‐core transrectal ultrasonography‐guided biopsy is considered the standard technique of prostatic biopsy due to its high rate of detection of ...

Comparison of mammography and breast infrared imaging: sensitivity, specificity, false negatives, false positives, positive predictive value and negative predictive value

Proceedings of the First Joint BMES/EMBS Conference. 1999 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 21st Annual Conference and the 1999 Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society (Cat. No.99CH37015), 2003
Breast infrared imaging (IRI) for detection of breast cancer has been unfairly maligned as having unacceptably high false positive and false negative rates. IRI actually has statistical performance characteristics that are similar to mammography. The false positive rate of 14% is about twice as high as mammography but surgical intervention is not ...

Test Accuracy As Positive and Negative Predictive Values

2022
Abstract This chapter explains how to generate positive and negative predictive values from the rows of a 2×2 table and that unlike sensitivity and specificity, they answer patient-relevant questions such as the probability of disease with a given result. It goes on to describe an important drawback of predictive values, namely that they
