A 3-Year Study of Predictive Factors for Positive and Negative Appendicectomies
Journal of Investigative Surgery, 2019 Background: Early and accurate identification or exclusion of acute appendicitis is the key to avoid the morbidity of delayed treatment for true appendicitis or unnecessary appendicectomy, respectively. We aim (i) to identify potential predictive factors

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2013 Background: Various anatomical measurements and non-invasive clinical tests, singly or in various combinations can be performed to predict difficult intubation. Recently introduced “Upper lip bite test” (ULBT) and “Ratio of height to Thyromental distance”

Diagnostic Accuracy of B-scan Ultrasonography for Posterior Segment Eye Disorders -A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021 Introduction: Ophthalmic Ultrasound (USG) produces real time high resolution images of the eye and orbit. It can categorise, predict location and diagnose posterior segment pathology of the eye very well and is usually used in preoperative evaluation.

Statistics Notes: Diagnostic tests 2: predictive values [PDF]
BMJ, 1994 The whole point of a diagnostic test is to use it to make a diagnosis, so we need to know the probability that the test will give the correct diagnosis. The sensitivity and specificity1 do not give us this information. Instead we must approach the data from the direction of the test results, using predictive values.

Testing the necessity of complex numbers in traditional quantum theory with quantum computers [PDF]
Am. J. Phys. 93, 110-120 (2025), 2022 A recent experiment testing the necessity of complex numbers in the standard formulation of quantum theory is recreated using IBM quantum computers. To motivate the experiment, we present a basic construction for real-valued quantum theory. The real-valued description is shown to predict correlations identical to those of complex-valued quantum ...

Diagnostic tests: how to estimate the positive predictive value.
Neuro-Oncology Practice, 2015 When a patient receives a positive test result from a diagnostic test they assume they have the disease. However, the positive predictive value (PPV), ie the probability that they have the disease given a positive test result, is rarely equal to one.

Evaluation of the 50th percentile Moyers analysis in patients with permanent dentition
Revista Electrónica Dr. Zoilo E. Marinello Vidaurreta, 2021 Background: the 50th percentile values from the Moyers table, used in Cuba, does not always correspond to the mesiodistal diameter of erupted canines and premolars, for which it is necessary to adjust the probability levels to the studied population ...

Predictive value of abbreviated olfactory tests in prodromal Parkinson disease
npj Parkinson's Disease, 2023 There is disagreement in the literature whether olfaction may show specific impairments in Parkinson Disease (PD) and if olfactory tests comprised of selected odors could be more specific for diagnosis.

Learning to predict test effectiveness [PDF]
Int J Intell Syst. 2022; 37: 4363- 4392, 2022 The high cost of the test can be dramatically reduced, provided that the coverability as an inherent feature of the code under test is predictable. This article offers a machine learning model to predict the extent to which the test could cover a class in terms of a new metric called Coverageability. The prediction model consists of an ensemble of four

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and copeptin assays to improve diagnostic accuracy of exercise stress test in patients with suspected coronary artery disease [PDF]
, 2014 Background: The average diagnostic sensitivity of exercise stress tests (ESTs) is lower than that of other non-invasive cardiac stress tests. The aim of the study was to examine whether high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) or copeptin ...
