An evaluation of the additional benefit of population screening for dementia beyond a passive case‐finding approach [PDF]

International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 2016
AbstractObjectiveGeneral practitioners (GPs) fail to identify more than 50% of dementia cases using the existing passive case‐finding approach. Using data from the “Ageing in General Practice” study, we sought to establish the additional benefit of screening all patients over the age of 75 for dementia beyond those patients already identified by ...

Performance of Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra for tuberculosis diagnosis in the context of passive and active case finding

European Respiratory Journal, 2021
AimsWe present a field evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of Xpert MTB/RIF (“Xpert”) and Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (“Ultra”) using two cohorts in a high tuberculosis/HIV burden setting in Southern Mozambique.MethodsSingle respiratory specimens from symptomatic adults accessing healthcare services (passive case finding (PCF) cohort) and from household and ...

Two-thirds of smear-positive tuberculosis cases in the community were undiagnosed in Northwest Ethiopia: population based cross-sectional study.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundTuberculosis (TB) case detection rate remains low in Ethiopia. One of the underlying reasons is the emphasis on passive case finding strategy which may seriously underestimate the burden of the disease.

Anomalous scaling in two and three dimensions for a passive vector field advected by a turbulent flow

, 2006
A model of the passive vector field advected by the uncorrelated in time Gaussian velocity with power-like covariance is studied by means of the renormalization group and the operator product expansion.
