A discriminant function based on the log CEA, AAT and AGP preoperative blood levels can considerably improve on the predictive value attained using CEA levels alone.
In both the 2000 and the 2005 Ethiopia DHS, the sampling was based on the Census Enumeration Areas (CEAs) of the 1994 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia [ 15].
Response rates were compared between groups based on the baseline serum CEA level using the χ-test.
In this study, a common vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) was used for the measurement of the hysteresis loop for different carcinoembryonic antigens (CEA) concentrations (Φ CEA) based on the synthesized BMNs with anti-CEA coating.
A conceptual design was developed by the CEA, based on the connection of two separate twin boxes clamped together, according to the lap-joint concept.
There are certain factors that should be considered when deciding which HPV screening strategy is the most appropriate, based on the results of this CEA.
The CEA was based on the net differences in costs between the 1,000,000 simulated patient groups.
The secondary evaluation will be a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) based on the disease-specific measure FIHOA.
Most of the current serum tumor markers are based on the antigen determination method, including CEA, AFP, hCG, PSA, and CA125, but lack tumor specificity and often cannot be used in early cancer screening and diagnosis 56– 63.
