Diagnostic factors were expressed as odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval) (95% CI) and p value.
A Genetic Algorithm search was performed to examine potential redundancy in the diagnostic factors.
Beginning with patient classification based on diagnostic factors, motion is either suppressed or compensated for during the PET/CT acquisition.
From a multivariate analysis with a stepwise logistic regression according to the Wald method, independent diagnostic factors were identified.
As a conclusion, a number of diagnostic factors in a patient's data record can be omitted without loss of fidelity in the diagnosis procedure.
The top row des a patient whose baseline diagnostic factors indicate a highly period tumor motion and respiratory pattern, suitable for respiratory motion-tracked PET/CT and motion-tracked radiotherapy.
Methods: The proposal takes into account the several parameters as diagnostic factors as gender, age, the level of education, study time, and scores from cognitive tests (Mini-Mental State Examination, Semantic Verbal Fluency Test, Clinical Dementia Rating and Ascertaining Dementia).
Somatic cell nuclear reprogramming is opening new doors for the modeling of human disease phenotypes in vitro, the identification of novel therapeutic compounds and diagnostic factors as well as future autologous cell replacement therapies.
This study was conducted to determine the survival of different glenoid component designs, assess the reasons for revision surgery, and identify patient and diagnostic factors that influence this need.
We previously identified some differentially expressed miRNAs that could serve as prognostic and diagnostic factors for colorectal cancer (CRC) and determined that some of these deregulated miRNAs appeared to be highly related to the tumor prognosis (Huang et al., 2010; Huang et al., 2011; Song et al., 2014; Yin et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2015).
These gauge impairment using physical tests -- such as balancing on one leg, balancing with eyes closed and walking a straight line -- plus diagnostic factors like pupil size and blood pressure.
