The biomarker-strategy design, in which patients are randomized to two arms (assay-directed vs empirical treatment), is a reasonable approach for evaluating multiple markers and has been recommended for evaluation of chemoresponse assays (Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, 1995, 2000, 2002; Schrag et al, 2004; Burstein et al, 2011).
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended for evaluation of the cavernous sinuses [4].
5 9 Multidetector pancreatic-protocol CT was recommended for evaluation of solid lesions identified by EUS or MRI.
When a surveillance feature or test was abnormal (>10.9 ng/mL), a triple-phase imaging (MRI) was recommended for evaluation at recall.
Usually, quarterly to six-monthly analysis of audit systems is recommended for evaluation of recurrence of substandard care factors and the success of implementation of the recommendations [ 30].
If dose proportionality was not established for the PK parameters using the Smith criteria, the 90% CIs were compared using the Hummel criteria (0.50 2.0 range), which is recommended for evaluations involving a fourfold or greater dose range.
Until we gather more precise information on which assays may correlate with protective immunity, a panel of neutralization assays must be recommended for vaccine evaluation.
Since it is not known at present which in vitro assay best correlates with biological (in vivo) protection, a panel of neutralization assays has to be recommended for vaccine evaluation.
Whether a 3D-fluoroscopic control scan should be recommended for intraoperative evaluation of definitive screw position, is still under discussion.
Recently, consensus was reached within the ICHOM collaboration on which PROMs should be recommended for the evaluation of outcomes of interventions for degenerative lumbar spinal disorders (Oswestry disability index (ODI), numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)—back and leg, and EuroQol 5 dimensions (EQ5D) (ICHOM, 2014) (Table 3, rec. 6).
