Early and intermediate serological screening cannot detect sex chromosome abnormalities. Currently, noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is the only procedure available for screening such disorders; ho...
A total of 47,855 pregnant women underwent NIPT at our referral center from January 2014 to December 2020. Of the 314 patients with a positive NIPT indicating sex chromosome abnormalities, 260 were sc...
Improvements in detection and analytical technologies are needed to increase the accuracy of sex chromosome abnormalities detection. Pregnant women with a positive NIPT for these abnormalities may req...
Positive and negative predictive values of a diagnostic test are two important measures of test accuracy, which are more relevant in clinical settings than sensitivity and specificity. Statistical met...
Multitarget stool DNA (mt-sDNA) testing is a stool-based screening test for colorectal cancer (CRC). In a single instance of testing, the pivotal Food and Drug Administration-approval study (NCT013977...
Colonoscopy and pathology reports were reviewed retrospectively for patients with a negative mt-sDNA on the first round of screening and a positive mt-sDNA on the second round. The test-positivity rat...
A total of 2758 patients completed a second test at a median of 3.2 years after the first test. Of these, 422 (15%) had a positive second mt-sDNA. The PPV was 0.25% for CRC, 24% for APL, and 67% for a...
mt-sDNA test positive rate and PPV were similar between the first and second rounds of screening. These observations confirm the utility of a second round of mt-sDNA screening and may inform estimates...
Molecular testing helps stratify risk of malignancy in indeterminate thyroid nodules, but it may be limited in its ability to rule out malignancy in large nodules....
We compared small thyroid nodules (<4 cm) to large thyroid nodules (4 cm or greater) in a retrospective, single center, cohort study of indeterminate thyroid nodules analyzed with ThyroSeq from 10/201...
A total of 204 thyroid nodules were analyzed with ThyroSeq and 62 underwent resection allowing comparison to final pathology for 48 small nodules and 14 large nodules. A greater proportion of large no...
Large thyroid nodules are associated with a higher rate of false negative results and a lower negative predictive value during molecular analysis of indeterminate thyroid nodules....
Previous studies have not described separate positive predictive values for Ortolani and Barlow tests in clinical hip screening. We aimed to determine the positive predictive values at discharge follo...
We included all infants with suspected or diagnosed DDH at the study hospital from 2015 to 2017 in this retrospective study. Infants with positive Ortolani or Barlow test after birth were referred for...
There were 33 Ortolani-positive hips and 103 Barlow-positive hips in 105 referred infants (30% male) at the screening. They received ultrasound examination at mean 21.7 days of age (SD 4.8, range 11-3...
The Ortolani test, performed by a specialist at the maternity ward, has a high positive predictive value for developmental dysplasia of the hip....
In patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE), the number of unnecessary computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) scans remains high, especially in patients with low pre-test probability ...
To establish the positive predictive values (PPV) of cfDNA testing based on data from a nationwide survey of independent clinical cytogenetics laboratories....
Prenatal diagnostic test results obtained by Italian laboratories between 2013 and March 2020 were compiled for women with positive non-invasive prenatal tests (NIPT), without an NIPT result, and case...
Diagnostic test results were collected for 1327 women with a positive NIPT. The highest PPVs were for Trisomy (T) 21 (624/671, 93%) and XYY (26/27, 96.3%), while rare autosomal trisomies (9/47, 19.1%)...
NIPT PPVs differ across the conditions screened and the tissues studied in diagnostic testing. This variability, issues associated with fetal sex discordancy, and no results, illustrate the importance...
In Korea, we conducted a national observational study to calculate the positive predictive value of SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests in K-12 schools during the Omicron variant surge in March 2022. The w...
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....
