Antiphospholipid Antibodies: Predictive Value of Laboratory Tests

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1997
aPL antibodies are a wide and heterogeneous family of autoantibodies, formerly believed to be directed at anionic phospholipids. In recent years they have been shown to be directed at plasma proteins bound to suitable (phospholipid) anionic surface: beta 2-GPI and prothrombin are the best known and characterized antigens, which are recognized by aCL ...

The predictive value of endodontic diagnostic tests

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1984
The diagnostic usefulness of common endodontic tests was evaluated through the retrospective analysis of studies in which histologic examinations were performed. In general, tests were able to adequately identify persons who were likely to be free of disease but were substantially less effective in identifying disease-positive persons.

Predictive value of coagulation tests in arterial thrombosis

La Ricerca in Clinica e in Laboratorio, 1988
In five large-scale prospective studies the predictive value of hemostatic parameters indicating the occurrence of arterial thrombotic diseases has been estimated in healthy individuals. All the studies have consistently found a statistically significant association between hyperfibrinogenemia and arterial thrombotic diseases. In two studies, increased

Predictive Value and Efficiency of Laboratory Testing

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1980
Literature on determining reference values and reference intervals on "normal" or "healthy" individuals is abundant. It is impossible, however, to evaluate a data set of reference values and select a suitable reference interval that will be meaningful for the practice of medicine.

Normal tension glaucoma: The value of predictive tests

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1993
Abstract. Fifty‐four normal tension glaucoma cases were studied to determine the value of several clinical tests for predicting the progression of the disease. Outflow facility, intraocular pressure (IOP) increase after water drinking, and diurnal changes in IOP were studied.

Prediction of Normal Values in Pulmonary Function Testing

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1989
Appropriate use of reference equations for predicting normal values is important for maximizing the clinical and research usefulness of pulmonary function testing. Because of the diversity of clinical and research uses of pulmonary function testing, predictive equations derived from different populations may be needed for specific applications ...

Re: Predictive Value of a Positive Test

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1986
To the Editor.— Billings and Bernstein1reported findings of a survey conducted among physicians, house officers, and medical students to assess the performance of clinicians at calculating the predictive value of a positive test result. The following question, modified from Casscells et al2was posed to 30 respondents: "If a test to detect a disease ...

The Predictive Value of Clinical Laboratory Test Results

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1978
Bayes' formula is being used with increasing frequency to calculate predictive values for positive and negative clinical laboratory test results. Because of its nonlinear form, however, it is difficult to visualize how changes in the test characteristics or disease prevalence will effect predictive values.
