The Uncertainty Associated with the Predictive Value of Test Results

cclm, 1998
Abstract The uncertainty associated with predictive value of test results was taken into consideration, as concerns both sampling error (related to the size of the statistical reference samples) and analytical imprecision (unavoidably involved by the measurement itself). A software package, developed for the statistical calculations, was

Predictive Value of Serologic Tests for Syphilis in Otology

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1986
Otologic syphilis (luetic inner ear disease) usually is diagnosed by positive serologic tests and by exclusion of other possible causes. Because the FTA-ABS for syphilis is exquisitely sensitive in all but early primary cases, a positive FTA-ABS result and coincident inner ear disease often are thought to be diagnostic of syphilitic inner ear disease ...

Predictive Value of an Adherence Test for Acute Otitis Media

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1998
The predictive value of an in vitro adherence test of the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae for the development of recurrent otitis media was calculated 5 years after the initial test. Nasopharyngeal cells from 56 children suffering from acute otitis media (AOM) and from healthy children were tested for adherence of a standard pneumococcal type ...

The Predictive Value of the Dexamethasone Suppression Test

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1989
We evaluated the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) as a predictor of response to drugs and placebo in 105 patients, in a large double-blind placebo-controlled out-patient trial to determine the efficacy of paroxetine HCI, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, compared with that of imipramine HCI and placebo.

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 ...

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.

Testing for AIDS: More Problems With Predictive Values

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1986
To the Editor.— In a recent letter, Dr Kanter 1 commented on the article "Status Report on the AcquiredImmunodeficiency Syndrome"2; he particularly addressed the question of the predictive value of a positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III antibody. While I agree with the thrust of the letter, it appears
