Exome sequencing in routine diagnostics: a generic test for 254 patients with primary immunodeficiencies [PDF]

Genome Medicine, 2019
Diagnosis of primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) is complex and cumbersome yet important for the clinical management of the disease. Exome sequencing may provide a genetic diagnosis in a significant number of patients in a single genetic test.In May 2013, we implemented exome sequencing in routine diagnostics for patients suffering from PIDs.

Immunophoretic rapid diagnostic tests as a source of immunoglobulins for estimating malaria sero-prevalence and transmission intensity. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Sero-epidemiological methods are being developed as a tool for rapid assessment of malaria transmission intensity. Simple blood collection methods for use in field settings will make this more feasible. This paper describes validation of such

Effectiveness of professional and patient-oriented strategies in reducing vitamin D and B12 test ordering in primary care: a cluster randomised intervention study

BJGP Open, 2021
Background: Vitamin tests are increasingly ordered by GPs, but a clinical and evidence-based indication is often lacking. Harnessing technology (that is, decision support tools and redesigning request forms) have been shown to reduce vitamin requests ...

meta4diag: Bayesian Bivariate Meta-Analysis of Diagnostic Test Studies for Routine Practice [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Software, 2018
This paper introduces the \proglang{R} package \pkg{meta4diag} for implementing Bayesian bivariate meta-analyses of diagnostic test studies. Our package \pkg{meta4diag} is a purpose-built front end of the \proglang{R} package \pkg{INLA}. While \pkg{INLA} offers full Bayesian inference for the large set of latent Gaussian models using integrated nested ...
