In this context, screening for DR by (digital) retinal photography and telemedicine has emerged as a low-cost alternative to an annual dilated retinal examination (5, 6).
The choice of test sequence and interpretation criteria depends on the epidemiological context, screening objectives and the financial and practical constraints.
Our analysis suggests that in any context screening would miss a substantial proportion of infected travellers; this result is consistent with other analyses that highlight the limited effectiveness of screening (Pitman et al., 2005; Bitar et al., 2009; Mabey et al., 2014) and with previous or ongoing screening outcomes (Table 1).
"The users reported that they could work faster using the focus-plus-context screen," Dr. Baudisch said.
In studies at the Palo Alto Research Center, users compared Dr. Baudisch's focus-plus-context screen with two other display systems.
In this context, the screen evokes the Byzantine roots of the Venetian Gothic style.
I've written about this before in the context of screen time.
Length bias in the context of screening is the tendency of screening to detect preferentially more slow-growing tumours, which therefore have better prognosis.
This chapter describes commonly used measures of accuracy, including their inherent advantages and shortcomings, and highlights possible interactions between research design and measures of accuracy within the context of screening mammography and computer-aided detection (CAD) in screening mammography.
The impact of increasing knowledge about the limited individual benefit and potential harms of treatment after screening has been studied most extensively in the context of screening for prostate cancer.
In the context of screening, overdiagnosis is the discovery of cancers that without screening would not have been diagnosed and consequently treated in a woman's lifetime [ 1, 2].
