ObjectivesSeveral guidelines for the evaluation of laboratory tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection have recommended establishing an a priori definition of minimum clinical performance specifications before test selection and method evaluation.MethodsUsing positive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV), we constructed a spreadsheet tool for determining the minimum clinical specificity (conditional on NPV or PPV, sensitivity and prevalence) and minimum clinical sensitivity (conditional on NPV or PPV, specificity and prevalence) of tests.ResultsAt a prevalence of 1%, there are no minimum sensitivity requirements to achieve a desired NPV of 60%-95% for a given clinical specificity above 20%. It is not possible to achieve 60–95% PPV even with 100% clinical sensitivity, except when the clinical specificity is near 100%. The opposite trend is seen in high prevalence settings (60%), where a relatively low minimum clinical sensitivity is required to achieve a desired PPV for a given clinical specificity, and a higher minimum clinical specificity is required to achieve a desired NPV for a given clinical sensitivity.DiscussionThe selection of laboratory tests and the testing strategy for SARS-CoV-2 involves delicate trade-offs between NPV and PPV based on prevalence and clinical sensitivity and clinical specificity. Practitioners and health authorities should carefully consider the clinical scenarios under which the test result will be used and select the most appropriate testing strategy that fulfils the a priori defined clinical performance specification.  相似文献

Objective

The purpose of this review was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy for screening and confirmation of clinical tests for cervical spine myelopathy (CSM) and to investigate the quality of the studies that have investigated these values.

Methods

This study was a systematic review that used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Search terms for PubMed included myelopathy; diagnosis, differential; sensitivity and specificity; and physical examination. Search terms for Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature were limited to myelopathy and sensitivity and specificity. Qualitative assessment included report of diagnostic accuracy metrics (sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratios) and quality scores using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool. Scores were created for single tests and clustered test findings.

Results

After evaluation, 12 full-text articles were selected, scored, and tabulated. Nearly all of the 18 tests demonstrated high levels of specificity and low levels of sensitivity, suggesting that they are poor screening tools. Only one study was scored as high quality. One study involved clustering of test findings but was considered low quality.

Conclusion

Nearly all of the clinical tests for CSM seem to be poor screening tools, which implies that manually oriented clinicians may perform treatment methods in a situation of doubt or uncertainly. More high-quality studies are needed, and manual therapists need to be cognizant that the current clinical tests for CSM lack strong diagnostic accuracy measures that are necessary for clinical decision making.  相似文献

The objective of our study was to determine the procedure-related requirements of mediastinal node sampling with endobronchial ultrasonography with real-time transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) that would provide negative predictive value (NPV) for the identification of stage III disease in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) high enough to consider the technique equivalent to cervical mediastinoscopy. Representative EBUS-TBNA was defined as a sampling procedure obtaining satisfactory samples from normal nodes in regions 4R, 4L and 7 or diagnosing malignancy in mediastinal nodes. NPV was estimated using the results of postsurgical staging in patients who underwent surgery as a reference. Two-hundred ninety-six patients staged with EBUS-TBNA were included. Representative samples from regions 4R, 4L and 7 showing nonmalignant cytology were obtained from 98 patients (33.1%) and EBUS-TBNA detected N2/N3 disease in 150 (50.7%). Accordingly, an EBUS-TBNA procedure accomplishing the representativeness criteria required for sampling was attained in 248 of the participating patients (83.8%). The NPV of the procedure in this setting was 93.6%, with false-negative results only found in 5 patients, four of them with nodal metastasis out of the reach of EBUS-TBNA (regions 5, 8 and 9). In conclusion, representative sampling of regions 4R, 4L and 7 is achieved in more than 80% of patients staged using EBUS-TBNA, and in the procedures that attain this requirement a NPV >90% for mediastinal malignancy is reached, a figure equivalent to cervical mediastinoscopy.  相似文献

目的 回顾性研究不同观察者使用甲状腺影像报告与数据系统(TI-RADS)词典对甲状腺结节描述的一致性,并确定不同TI-RADS分类对恶性甲状腺结节的阳性预测值。 方法 对2016年6-11月获得病理结果的172例连续患者的188个甲状腺结节使用TI-RADS超声词典进行评估,计算不同超声征象及TI-RADS最终分类的κ值,计算不同TI-RADS分类对恶性甲状腺结节的阳性预测值。 结果 对于甲状腺结节结构、回声、形态、边缘、局灶性强回声的判断,κ值分别为0.743(0.713-0.772)、0.418(0.319-0.517)、0.468(0.389-0.547)、0.397(0.291-0.503)、0.566(0.514-0.617)(括号内为95%可信区间);对于结节TI-RADS分类的判断,κ值为0.782(0.749-0.815)。TI-RADS 1~5类的阳性预测值分别为0(0/8)、0(0/23)、14.3%(4/28)、29.7%(11/37)和85.7%(78/91)。 结论 不同医师对结构判断的一致性很好,对于回声、形态、局灶性强回声判断的一致性中等,对于边缘判断的一致性不够理想。但最终得到甲状腺结节总体TI-RADS分类一致性很好,表明该分类系统在不同医师间的应用不易导致对患者最终临床处置的不同,具有较好的应用价值。  相似文献

Summary A sensitive homologous radioimmunoassay (RIA) for human prolactin (hPRL) was evaluated. The experimental parameters of this double antibody solid phase (DASP)-hPRL-RIA are described. The RIA measures concentrations of hPRL as low as 1 ng/ml of human serum and allows repetitive measurements and accurate delineation of serum hPRL. The assay is specific for hPRL; only HGH shows a weak cross-reaction. The antigen recovery tests are quantitative. The serum concentrations of hPRL in a group of randomly selected male and female individuals averaged 6.7±3.3 ng/ml and 7.4±3.3 ng/ml, respectively. In a chronobiological study performed on 21 subjects (5 male and 16 female), a statistically significant rhythm with a 24-h period was detected.

Many central nervous system infections are historically difficult to diagnose. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has revolutionized the diagnosis of these infections because of their high sensitivity despite the lack of data on clinical usefulness. We conducted a retrospective study that included patients with positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) PCR for herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, JC virus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) between January 2009 and December 2011. The positive results were grouped into definite, likely, and possible true positives and likely false-positive categories based on pre-specified definitions specific to each virus. Of 1663 CSF viral PCR tests, 88 were positive (5%). The combined positive predictive value (PPV) was 58%. The PPVs were least for CMV and EBV at 29 and 37%, respectively. A positive CSF viral PCR result has to be interpreted with caution due to several false-positive results.  相似文献

Objective

Delirium is a common, difficult-to-diagnose clinical condition in critical care units. The lack of recognition of delirium often results in increased morbidity and mortality. The study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) in a resource-poor medical intensive care setting in South India.

Materials and methods

Fifty-three patients admitted into the medical intensive care unit of a teaching hospital who were neither mute nor intubated were recruited for the study. Trained residents administered the ICDSC to screen for delirium. A consultant psychiatrist used the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision diagnostic criteria for research to determine the presence of delirium.

Results

The optimal threshold for screening, as ICDSC total score of 3 or more, was obtained by using a receiver operating characteristic curve. Although a sensitivity and specificity of 75% and 74%, respectively, were obtained at the original cutoff of 4, a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 61.54% were achieved with a cutoff of 3. In a subsample of 21 patients, interrater reliability was evaluated and found to be 0.947 (95% confidence interval, 0.870-0.979). The ICDSC had good internal consistency, with Cronbach α of .754 and Guttman split-half coefficient of 0.71. Factor analysis revealed a 2-factor structure, namely, altered sensorium/psychopathology and sleep-wake cycle problems.

Conclusions

Our findings indicate that in nonintubated intensive care unit patients, the ICDSC can be used to screen for delirium but should not be used as a diagnostic instrument in this patient population and that residents can be trained in the use of the instrument in resource-poor critical care settings. Using a different threshold for positivity of 3 rather than 4 appeared to offer improved screening characteristics in this resource-poor critical care setting.  相似文献

An analysis of the diagnostic methods for acute pulmonary embolism   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
In spite of numerous sophisticated investigative procedures, acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is very frequently misdiagnosed. In order to improve the diagnostic approach to PE, the sensitivity and specificity of the commonly used methods were reviewed in a group of 421 patients with angiographically proved PE without associated cardio-pulmonary disease. The specificity of diagnostic procedures was, by decreasing order: positive pulmonary angiography (to affirm) = negative perfusion lung scan (to eliminate) > chest X-ray clinical symptoms, positive perfusion lung scan, ECG, blood gas, serum enzymes.  相似文献
