The phrase "a more sensitive screening" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a process or method that is designed to detect or identify issues with greater accuracy or care.
Example: "The new health initiative aims to implement a more sensitive screening for early detection of diseases."
Alternatives: "a more thorough evaluation" or "a more precise assessment".
If we would have used a more sensitive screening approach for PTB with a combination of symptoms as entry point for PTB (any cough, any fever or night sweats, or weight loss [31] [34] without specifying the duration of cough as Cain et al. [35] suggest, these patients would likely have ended up in the PTB track.
Using a more sensitive screening criterion (blood glucose > 130 mg/dL), > 20% had impaired GTT results.
A more sensitive screening instrument such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment could be used in place of the MMSE [ 50].
Kang et al. [ 36] concluded that a more sensitive screening can be achieved by testing the DNA methylation status of some genes, including MGMT, than by analyzing fecal blood.
With human papillomavirus (HPV) emerging as a more sensitive screening test for cervical cancer, there are opportunities for low and middle income countries (LMIC) to employ this technology to prevent cervical cancer morbidity and mortality.
A more sensitive screening by quantitative real-time PCR revealed that the mean relative expression level of transcript A was significantly lower in the high-stage tumours (mean 0.07; s.d. 0.03) than in the low-stage tumours (mean 0.35; s.d. 0.17) (P=0.1722).
They detected no live virus or antigens to the virus, but when they used a more sensitive screen--the polymerase chain reaction--they managed to pull fragments of the Ebola genome from seven animals: one shrew and six rodents from three different species.
A more sensitive screening-modality such as FFDM may also lead to an increase in the detection of biologically high-risk tumors as assessed by the 70-gene signature.
Presgraves (2003) performed a more sensitive screen by crossing D. melanogaster females with D. simulans males carrying the Lhr hybrid rescue mutation and assaying the viability of rescued F1 hybrid males (Presgraves 2003).
It should also be noted that the MoCA was not demonstrated to be superior to the MMSE in current study as other studies did [ 6- 9, 23] in MCI identification, while the MoCA-BJ was indeed found to be a slightly more sensitive screening tool than the MMSE in a sub-sample with higher education.
Bedside ultrasonography was a much more sensitive screening test for pneumothorax compared with supine chest radiography (the time to diagnose pneumothorax was 7 minutes for ultrasonography versus 80 minutes in the x-ray group) [ 45].
