To compare summary estimates of the diagnostic accuracy of MTBDR sl for FQ resistance, SLID resistance and XDR-TB by type of testing (indirect versus direct testing).
Stratifying by type of diagnostic test was also planned, but too few studies were identified that involved low sensitivity diagnostic tests for this to be possible.
q_{u leftrightarrow } q_{t} (kPa) = Aleft( t right)^{a} left( L right)^{b} (3)where, Factor A = a scalar coefficient influenced by type of strength test, being 44.22 for UCS and 7.07 for split tensile strength, and Factors a = 0.45, and b = 1.0 are unique scalars for both types of test.
Even after stratifying by type of commercial test, we could not account for the variability.
After all of the interviews were coded and discrepancies resolved, matrices were used to organize the themes by differential categories, particularly by type of HIV/syphilis testing organization, financial models, and new pilot testing programs.
The performance of IP rapid test varied with the severity of disease and by type of specimen tested.
We stratified these analyses first by target condition (FQ resistance, SLID resistance or XDR-TB) and second by type of MTBDR sl testing (indirect testing or direct testing).
The aim of this study was to determine whether the validity of neutralization was influenced by the type of test (suspension test versus carrier test), by the type of microorganism or by different storage times of the neutralized antiseptic solution containing the particular microorganism.
Secondary analyses will be conducted to generate hypotheses about whether particular determinants of self-test use vary by the type of test and, therefore, whether future research should be test-specific.
