The increased incidental detection rate of small asymptomatic renal tumours is a result of the higher number of cross-section scans that are performed for other reasons [2].
In cancer patients a 2.1% incidental PE rate was observed by Boswell [ 15] in 2085 patients at 2 mm collimation.
Taking these two reasons together, there is a positive feedback loop between slow development and low incidental death rate, ensuring that large animals are long-lived.
Recent advanced technology, such as low-dose, helical computed tomography (CT) screening and multi-detector row CT, has increased the incidental detection rate of SPNs.
Therapeutic fasting, however, fell out of favour when it became apparent that it had a high incidental mortality rate mostly due to renal dysfunction and cardiac damage (Cubberley et al., 1965; Spencer, 1968; Runcie and Thomson, 1970).
Assuming that the incidental detection rate was zero in small aneurysms and 12% per year in aneurysms of 55 mm or more in diameter, the model predicted that 2469 men per 100 000 screened would be detected with a clinically relevant aneurysm (table 2).
We conclude that recent incidental mortality rates are a threat to harbor porpoise populations.
One final note about reducing the incidental finding error rate: Ideally, we would want to reduce those errors without increasing the rates of false positive errors.
Fluoride concentrations in various exposure media (e.g., beverages, cow's milk, infant formula, food, soil) and incidental toothpaste ingestion rate are especially uncertain.
The mean specificity from this analysis was 85.0 ± 5.7% and was found to match that obtained from the analysis above suggesting that our findings were not biased due to the incidental low remission rate in the validation cohort.
