Therefore, the root features were used to assess drought tolerance ability of the 13 local soybean cultivars, whereas the shoot-related traits were used as reference criteria in our evaluation.
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.
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
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.
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.
The test characteristics for pre-diabetes defined by A1C using FPG levels of 110 125 mg/dl rather than 100 125 mg/dl as the reference criterion, produces a lower sensitivity (45%) and specificity (90%).
We assessed the psychometric properties of the EURO-D scale, in each site, running receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses using ICD-10 depisodeve episode as the reference criterion, plotting sensitivity against false positive rate (1-sensitivity) and estimated the area under the ROC curve (AUROC) with 95% confidence intervals.
Endoscopic biopsy was done for all suspected lesions fulfilling the criteria mentioned above with histological results served as reference standard.
