The combination of thin section, multislice CT and endoscopic ultrasound was demonstrated to have a combined sensitivity for pre-operative detection of insulinomas of 100% [ 7] (Fig. 3).
With respect to different tumour stages, stage specific sensitivity was 35.0% for stage I, 63.0% for stage II, 46.0% for stage III and 77.4% for stage IV; combined sensitivities for stages I II versus III IV were 44.7% vs 54.9%; combined sensitivity for stages I III (those with any chance of improvement in survival) was 45.1%.
The combined sensitivities for mannan and anti-mannan antibodies according to infecting Candida species were as: C. albicans (n = 22), 77%, C. parapsilosis (n = 5), 60% and C. tropicalis (n = 4), 75%, whereas for mannan and BDG, these were 55%, 40%and75%5%, respectively (Table 2).
The Biopolitics International Organization proposes solutions which combine sensitivity for the fragility of life with international cooperation and an emphasis on education, culture, and tradition.
For annual prevalence, only the combined sensitivity analyses are presented, for combined IIMs only, for which to be counted in numerator, patients must have had at least one claim for a muscle biopsy, specialist visit, or immunosuppressant or systemic corticosteroid in the time periods described above, in addition to being identified as prevalent in that year.
The FSST had higher combined sensitivity and specificity for identifying differences between groups in the selected sample population of older adults than the 3 tests with which it was compared.
Several studies calculated combined sensitivity and specificity for hypermethylated genes (Zöchbauer-Müller et al, 2003; Belinsky et al, 2005, 2006, 2007; Hsu et al, 2007), revealing higher performance when compared with the markers individually.
For CVP the best combined sensitivity and specificity was found for a threshold value of 10 mmHg with 0.74 and 0.54, respectively.
Then, finessing the Charles Mingus ballad "Portrait," he deftly combined sensitivity and flair.
The DORs combine sensitivity and specificity into one measure for diagnostic performance.
* 95% CIs for conditional probabilities were estimated by sampling from beta distributions for sensitivity of MRI and mammography combined and sensitivity for each modality alone, and solving for the conditional probability.
