The phrase "as a low sensitivity" is not correct and may be confusing in written English.
It could be used in contexts discussing sensitivity levels, such as in scientific or technical writing, but it needs clarification or rephrasing for better understanding.
Example: "The device operates effectively as a low sensitivity instrument, minimizing false positives."
Alternatives: "with low sensitivity" or "at a low sensitivity level".
Our results show that even though Sprague-Dawley rats have been described as possessing a low sensitivity to estrogenic compounds (Steinmetz et al. 1997), the effect of BPA, administered during a period critical for development, is similar to that described after early exposure of females to estradiol.
Stages in the wetland were found to be controlled less by the hydraulic resistance, as indicated by a low sensitivity of simulated water levels for a ±50% perturbation in flow resistance parameter.
Recently two ultrasound studies [ 8, 9] reported that wall thickness >4 mm at the level of neo-terminal ileum had a high sensitivity in detecting severe endoscopic CD recurrence (i.e score 3 and score 4) as opposed to a low sensitivity in detecting mild lesions (score 1 and score 2).
This is not surprising because memory impairment is the most common presenting clinical symptom of clinically diagnosed DLB (cDLB) patients (with confirmed abnormal dopamine transporter imaging) [ 49] and most of the DLB/AD + DLB cases were diagnosed as DAT, showing a low sensitivity of the clinical criteria, at least in this small series [ 50].
Nanocrystallized cores for ground fault circuit breaker (GFCB) can be manufactured for low exciting fields such as 2 A/m, with a low sensitivity to varied pulsed waveform currents (ΔBdyn/ΔBsin⩾0.85) and ΔB>0.1 T.
33 Indeed specificity and sensitivity calculations of our analysis results, even though our sample size was small, support the published findings, as the MiniLab® demonstrates a low sensitivity for co-trimoxazole tablets when compared with content analysis with HPLC.
The cost-effectiveness ratios varied by as much as 38 and 37%, respectively, when a low sensitivity was used for both the Pap and self-HPV tests.
In As-polluted soils, SBR also showed a low sensitivity in all cases.
The implications of a low sensitivity as in the case of the fecal culture is important for the design and interpretation of monitoring programmes and may result in excessive false negative test results.
As the χ test has a low sensitivity for detecting heterogeneity in the situation of a meta-analysis when studies have a small sample size, P value of < .1 was considered significant for the presence of statistical heterogeneity [ 29].
