The predictive value of immunological fecal occult blood (iFOB) testing for the screening of colorectal cancer has been well described in the Western world. However, its relevance in Sub-Saharan Afric...
We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study in two digestive endoscopic centers of Yaoundé (Cameroon) from the 1...
We included 103 patients during the study period with a male predominance and a sex ratio of 1.7. The median age [IQR] was 52 [38-65] years (range 1 - 84 years). The most common colonoscopic lesions w...
The iFOB test has a good NPV, but a poor PPV for the diagnosis of CRC in our study....
Medical students and professionals often struggle to understand medical test results, which can lead to poor medical decisions. Natural frequency tree-based training (NF-TT) has been suggested to help...
We conducted a parallel group randomized controlled trial of NF-TT vs. CP-FT in two medical schools in South Korea (a 1:1 allocation ratio). Participants were randomly assigned to watch either NF-TT o...
Overall, NF-TT was not more effective than CP-FT in improving the predictive value estimation accuracy at post-intervention (NF-TT: 87.13%, CP-FT: 86.03%, p = .86) and follow-up (NF-TT: 72.39%, CP-FT:...
Introducing NF-TT early in the medical school curriculum, before students are exposed to a pervasive conditional probability formula-based approach, would offer the greatest benefit....

Phase 1: 435 paired swabs taken in 431 asymptomatic patients resulted in 8 positive RT-PCRs, 9 PCR test failures and 418 negative RT-PCRs from NT or ET swabs. The test performance of AN LFT demonstrat...
The NPV, PPV and specificity of LFTs are excellent. The sensitivity of LFTs compared with RT-PCR is good when the samples are colocated but may be reduced when the LFT swab is taken from the AN. Bucca...
