Thus, use of this method is likely to be of only incremental value.
Patient reported outcomes were judged to be of little incremental value to a large number of, mostly explanatory, cardiovascular trials (152 trials).
In our single centre experience, PET/CT was found to be of significant incremental value in patients with high grade STS, by virtue of identifying occult foci of disease, detecting extent of loco-regional disease, and also by providing metabolic evidence in support or against equivocal findings on conventional imaging.
71 For instance, surveys suggest that health care providers would prioritize serodiscordant couples for PrEP, 46, 49, 72 but because treatment of the HIV-infected partner in such relationships is already associated with a 96% reduction in transmission risk, 73 or perhaps more, 74 PrEP may be of limited incremental value in this scenario.
This approach is equivalent to the "diagnose LTBI if TST + and QFT+" rule in terms of incremental value but is cheaper since not all patients receive both tests.
Further research is needed to develop methods for estimation of incremental value conditional on more tests and covariates.
Commenting in a statement, Michel Combes, CEO of Altice, said: "There is significant incremental value to be generated from our assets.
An ever-increasing number of studies are evaluating the incremental value of specific predictors, beyond established predictors or even beyond existing prediction models.
An ever-increasing number of studies are evaluating the incremental value of specific predictors, beyond established predictors or even beyond existing prediction models (Tzoulaki et al, 2011; Steyerberg et al, 2012).
Even when both sensitivity and specificity of T2 were lower than T1, there was some incremental value for T2.
