The phrase "a variable sensitivity of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing the fluctuating or adjustable nature of sensitivity in a particular subject, such as scientific research or data analysis.
Example: "The study revealed a variable sensitivity of the participants to the changes in temperature."
Alternatives: "a fluctuating sensitivity of" or "an adjustable sensitivity of".
Recently, the use of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET, either alone or in combination with contrast-enhanced CTA or MRA, has emerged as a potential tool for the initial diagnosis and assessment of disease activity of aortitis caused by Takayasu arteritis with a variable sensitivity of 60 90 % and specificity of 88 100%[2424, 13, 12, 34].
These data suggest a variable sensitivity of cytokine mRNAs to Pin1 inhibition.
Given that we demonstrated some dual infections and that there may be a variable sensitivity of RT-PCR for different respiratory viruses, we included all incident infections in adults (by clinical case definition and laboratory testing) in the analysis.
Similarly, the MTBDRsl assay showed an excellent specificity in detecting resistance to second-line drugs, but a variable sensitivity, especially for the detection of resistance to fluoroquinolones and ethambutol [ 18, 19].
However, this score suffers from an imperfect and variable sensitivity of 73 96 % [15 18] and is limited in the context of decompressive craniectomy due to an intracranial hypertension decrease [19].
The presence of drug resistant sub-populations is a major concern when considering the variable sensitivity of standard genetic and microbiological tests for the diagnosis of drug resistance M. tuberculosis [ 16].
Future slide-positive infection could arise directly from the current submicroscopic infection increasing in density, from variable sensitivity of microscopy or could simply be a marker of an exposed individual who is more likely to contract a future infection.
To identify factors that were responsible for variable sensitivity of SCLC to ABT-737, we used a representative panel of SCLC cell lines with levels of sensitivity that ranged over >2 logs (IC50: 0.03∼>10 μM).
Given the variable sensitivity of FDG in imaging gastric cancer, [18F]FLT-PET has been investigated in a number of studies, again predominantly comparing the efficacy of [18F]FLT-PET and [18F]FDG-PET [8, 9, 28, 29].
Such testing follows the recommendations of Pocock and Jennings [14], who highlighted that variable sensitivity of taxa to different kinds of disturbance makes them more or less effective as indicators.
Different ADC cutoffs have been reported with variable sensitivity of 74 100% and specificity of 77 100%.
