It is essential that clinicians have evidence-based benchmarks to support accurate diagnosis and clinical decision making. Recent studies report poor reliability for diagnostic judgments and identifyi...
Data for 16 VFSS parameters were collected from 78 healthy adults aged 21-82 years (39 male). Participants swallowed three comfortable sips each of thin, slightly, mildly, moderately, and extremely th...
We present VFSS reference percentile tables, by consistency, for (a) timing parameters (swallow reaction time; the hyoid burst-to-upper esophageal sphincter (UES)-opening interval; UES opening duratio...
These updated reference percentiles and proposed clinical decision limits are intended to support interpretation and reliability for VFSS assessment data....

The aim of the study was to calculate reference intervals (RIs) for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4) and free triiodothyronine (fT3) and evaluate the clinical significance of th...
Laboratory patient data between August and December 2021 were evaluated for the study. A total of 188,912 patients with TSH, fT4, fT3, anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (Anti-TPO) and anti-thyroglobu...
Thyroid stimulating hormone values didn't differ significantly by gender and age. The combined RIs for whole group (N = 28,437) was found as 0.41-4.37 mIU/mL. Free T4 values (11.6-20.1 pmol/L, N = 13,...
Reference interval estimation by use of indirect method out of laboratory data may be more accurate than manufacturer provided RIs. This population based RIs evaluated using RCV of analytes may provid...
To propose an instrument for assessing speech recognition in the presence of competing noise. To define its application strategy for use in clinical practice. To obtain evidence of criterion validity ...
The study was conducted in three stages: Organization of the material comprising the Word-with-Noise Test (Stage 1); Definition of the instrument's application strategy (Stage 2); Investigation of cri...
The Word-with-Noise Test consists of lists of monosyllabic and disyllabic words and speech spectrum noise (Stage 1). The application strategy for the test was defined as the determination of the Speec...
This study's aim was to develop a local walking speed norm using the 10-m walk test (10MWT) for 5- to 17-year-old children and youth who are developing typically....
Healthy child and adolescent participants were recruited from schools in one rural Alaska school district. The 10MWT was performed using a 2 repetitions per speed protocol. Outcome measures were avera...
Average walking speed was established in this group of children and youth who are developing typically by age and gender....
Local walking speed norms for 5- to 17-year-olds can be accurately obtained by examining students in a rural school district....
Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist is an emerging mode of respiratory support that uses the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) to provide synchronised inspiratory pressure support, proportio...
This was a prospective observational study of newborn infants breathing spontaneously in room air. The Edi waveform was monitored by a specialised naso/orogastric feeding tube with embedded electrodes...
Twenty-four newborn infants (16 preterm [< 37 weeks' gestation]; 8 term) were studied. All infants were breathing comfortably in room air at the time of study. Edi data were successfully captured in a...
Reference Edi values were established for both preterm and term neonates. These values can be used as a guide when monitoring breathing support and when using diaphragm-triggered modes of respiratory ...
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is increasingly being used for diagnosing various cardiac conditions. Parametric mapping enables quantitative myocardial characterization by directly measuring myocard...
Glenoid version is an important factor in the evaluation of shoulder stability and shoulder pathologies. However, there are neither established reference values nor known factors that influence the gl...
Our study explored the glenoid versions in a large sample representing the general adult population. We investigated 3004 participants in the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP). Glen...
To achieve a reliable interpretation prior to orthopaedic surgery, sex- and age-adjusted reference values are proposed....
Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) is a known biomarker of inflammation and airways blood flow. As opposed to previous studies, we were able to measure temperature of separate fractions of exhaled breat...
The aim of this study was to investigate the geographical spatial distribution of creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) in order to provide a scientific basis for clinical examination. The reference value...
To provide reference values of cardiorespiratory fitness for individuals post-stroke in clinical rehabilitation and to gain insight in characteristics related to cardiorespiratory fitness post stroke....
A retrospective cohort study. Reference equations of cardiopulmonary fitness corrected for age and sex for the fifth, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th percentile were constructed with quantile regression an...

References equations for cardiorespiratory fitness stratified by sex and age were provided based on 405 individuals post-stroke. Median V˙O...
Population specific reference values of cardiorespiratory fitness for individuals post-stroke corrected for age and sex were presented. These can give individuals post-stroke and health care providers...
