Using Negative Predictive Values: In Reply

Pediatrics, 2006
In Reply .— We appreciate Dr Camp's comments and her emphasis of the importance of the high negative predictive value of the Bayley Mental Developmental Index (MDI). We agree that a normal MDI of >85 at 20 months' corrected age in an extremely low birth weight (ELBW) child is highly predictive of having a normal IQ of >85 at 8 years of age …

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

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>&

Negative predictive value of the Duke criteria for infective endocarditis

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1996
With use of new Duke criteria, 405 episodes of suspected endocarditis were previously classified as "definite," "possible," or "rejected" endocarditis. To determine the negative predictive value of the Duke clinical criteria for the classification of suspected endocarditis, chart review and follow-up were performed for the 52 episodes in which the ...

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 ...

Amotivation as central to negative schizotypy and their predictive value for happiness

Personality and Individual Differences, 2014
Abstract Negative schizotypal traits may be related to anhedonia and/or amotivation; however it is unclear which of these symptoms is related to negative schizotypy to a greater extent. Moreover, the impact of schizotypal traits on overall subjective well-being remains uncertain. The present study examined these two questions in a non-clinical sample

Predictive value of prostatic adenocarcinoma after a negative prostate biopsy

BJU International, 2006
OBJECTIVETo 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 prostatic adenocarcinoma.PATIENTS AND ...

Effect of verification bias on positive and negative predictive values

Statistics in Medicine, 1994
AbstractThe pairing of sensitivity and specificity expresses the efficacy of a test, and positive and negative predictive values measure the accuracy of a diagnostic test when applied to a particular patient. To calculate these measures, one has to know the true disease status of each patient. In practice, however, some patients may not be selected for

Impact of the endoscopist's experience on the negative predictive value of capsule endoscopy

Gastroenterología y Hepatología (English Edition), 2017
The impact of the accumulated experience of the capsule endoscopy (CE) reader on the accuracy of this test is discussed.To determine whether the negative predictive value of CE findings changes along the learning curve.We reviewed the first 900 CE read by 3 gastroenterologists experienced in endoscopy over 8 years.

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.
