Sample size calculation was based on the primary research question with CHD disease as reference criterion.
We restricted our analysis to studies using the ACR criteria as reference standard.
Using SCr criteria as reference standard for AKI diagnosis, the sensitivity of ABW-based and IBW-based AKI diagnosis were 64.8% and 57.0% respectively (P = .002).002
Thus, to avoid losing any possible signals, we will integrate clinical features with odds ratio calculated based on group P and group N, as well as prevalence ratio calculated based on group T and group A as one reference criteria into the GTO.
Original, prospective studies in patients with suspected GCA that examined ultrasonography findings of temporal arteries using the ACR 1990 classification criteria for GCA as reference standard, published through 2009, were identified.
Table 5 shows the sensitivity and specificity of MetS as defined by the NCEP-ATP III and JIS against IDF definition as the reference criteria for diagnosis.
Endoscopic biopsy was done for all suspected lesions fulfilling the criteria mentioned above with histological results served as reference standard.
With regard to determining the level of agreement between the three definitions, IDF was used as the reference criterion as it is the most widely accepted in Malaysia.
Using blood test as the reference criterion, oral fluid test for THC positivity showed a sensitivity of 79.4% (95% CI: 75.2%, 83.1%) and a specificity of 98.3% (95% CI: 97.9%, 98.7%).
Responsiveness of the SPADI has been assessed using retrospective self-assessment of global change as a reference criterion, a study [ 3] cited by several researchers.
