This was, in other words, a laboratory case of the very dynamic that Nyhan identified: strongly held beliefs continued to influence judgment, despite correction attempts — even with a supposedly conscious awareness of what was happening.
The identification procedure was implemented for a simulation example as well as an experimental laboratory case.
Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed for various combinations of clinical and laboratory case definitions.
Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted for various combinations of clinical and laboratory case definitions.
Anonymised clinical and laboratory data for each patient sample are recorded in CRF and Laboratory Case Record forms respectively.
Grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities were assessed based on objective reports taken directly from the laboratory case report form.
For analytic study and based on laboratory case definition, 95 were considered as cases and 123 as controls.
Nevertheless, that last cut-off (160) was related to laboratory case definition in humans, which are incidental hosts.
As a corollary, laboratory case definitions for epidemiological studies may diverge from those typically used to guide clinical diagnoses.
