Others have reported that negative items are predictive of different types of outcomes than positive items [ 50].
Dunning et al. [ 3] found that in postmenopausal women, the rs10046 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was predictive of different levels of estradiol, estrone, and estradiol:testosterone ratio although this polymorphism accounted only for 1.6%% of the total variance.
Other studies have found that performance in medical school can be predictive of performance in different specialties [ 19- 21].
Finally, decreased mHLA-DR has been shown to be predictive of adverse outcome in different groups of critically ill patients, including burn and septic shock patients [ 2, 22].
Nevertheless, a variety of biomarkers, such as immunoinflammatory factors, endocrine mediators and indicators of functional capabilities and frailty, have been reproducibly demonstrated to be predictive of old-age survival in different populations [ 1- 3].
The validated and most frequently used diagnostic based coding measure have been shown to be predictive of several healthcare outcomes in different study populations (including orthopaedics and other disciplines) and are used in case mix adjustment [ 15, 16].
However, our data are in keeping with other methods exploring atherosclerosis disease, such as pulse wave velocity, which have been shown to be predictive of renal function decline in different clinical settings.
This result shows that line (hence genotype) trait measurements in larvae can be predictive of disease state in a different developmental stage, in this case heart dysfunction in adult flies.
A CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) has been shown to be predictive of poor outcome in a variety of different cancers, including NB [ 9].
In our view, the absorbed dose - or a derived parameter of the AD (i.e., BED) - has the potential to be predictive for different radiolabeled therapeutics, irrespective of the radionuclides, radiolabeled peptides, radiolabeled antibodies, or pretargeting.
