to establish cut-off point for reading speed and accuracy, to obtain minimum values for comprehending texts, and allow classifying students from 2nd to 5th grade of elementary school according to good...
147 assessment protocols for oral reading and text comprehension of students from 3rd to 5th grade of Elementary School with and without reading difficulties were analyzed. The oral text reading rate ...
Sensitivity and specificity for measures of rate and accuracy in text reading were calculated for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. Rate and precision under the ROC curve did not differ statistically. The...
The cutoff values expected for students from 2nd to 3rd grade were identified, with recommendations for using the oral text reading rate for reading comprehension screening procedures....
This study aims to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of wearable devices for AF detection in older adults, as well as examine the incidence of AF across various studies, contextual factors impa...
A systematic search of three databases identified 30 studies on wearables for AF detection in older adults, encompassing 111,798 participants. Both PPG-based and single-lead electrocardiography-based ...
This study aimed to identify the most commonly used internal validity tests in the discrete choice experiment (DCE) literature and establish their sensitivity and specificity....
A structured literature review of recent DCE articles (2018-2020Q1) published in the health, marketing, transport economics, and environmental science literature was used to identify commonly used int...
Dominant and repeated choice tasks were most commonly included in health-related DCE designs. Based on 4 applications, their specificity and sensitivity depend on the type of incorrect response patter...
Dominant and repeated choice tasks are unreliable screening tests and costly in terms of statistical power. The RLH test, which is a statistical test that does not require additional choice tasks to b...
To determine the test accuracy, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and area under curve, of three frailty screening tools in identifying the risk ...
Prospective longitudinal study....

Of 366 patients enrolled in the study, 78 (21.3%) experienced one or more frail outcomes, with 65 (17.76%) experiencing functional decline, 61 (16.67%) requiring a full-time caregiver upon discharge a...
With high specificity and negative predictive values, as well as low sensitivity, FAM and Frail-PPS may be beneficial in identifying older individuals who are not frail, minimizing unnecessary further...

One hundred two patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in our center were included in this study. Systemic biomarkers of ST2, IP10, IL-2Rα, TNFR1, and organ-specific ...
The level of each systemic biomarker in aGVHD patients was significantly higher than that in patients without aGVHD. Organ-specific biomarker of Elafin, REG-3α, and KRT-18F also had predictive value f...
All the biomarkers tested in our study correlated with the severity and clinical course of aGVHD. Combination of each systemic biomarker with organ-specific biomarker could increase the sensitivity an...

Secondary dose calculation (SDC) with an independent algorithm is one option to perform plan-specific quality assurance (QA). While measurement-based QA can potentially detect errors in plan delivery,...
Thirty head and neck VMAT plans and 30 modifications of those plans, including errors related to density and beam modelling, were recalculated using RadCalc with a Monte Carlo algorithm. Decision thre...
Despite optimized decision thresholds, none of the systems was able to reliably detect all errors. ArcCHECK analysis using a 2%/2 mm criterion with a threshold of 91.1% had an area under the curve (AU...
Secondary dose calculation with RadCalc is an alternative to established measurement-based phantom QA. Different tools catch different errors; therefore, a combination of approaches should be preferre...
