Independent of stratification for ROA at examination A, a trend was seen for decreased likelihood of progression of radiographic features with increasing SF ARGS levels, with a mean odds ratio of 0.91 per pmol/ml SF ARGS (Table 3).
CD14 expression may provide important information about the likelihood of progression and thus the need for treatment.
Along with the environmental characteristics of a region, circumstances of injury play a major role in creating the potential for mold contamination of wounds and subsequent likelihood of progression to an IFI.
Given these assumptions, 4,500 patients are needed to identify a predictor that impacts the likelihood of progression with a 5% change (from 20%to25%5%) for a 1 standard deviation increase in the variable.
Similarly positivity for GADAs and/or IA-2As was related to an increased likelihood of progression to overt diabetes (Fig. 1 C).
For patients with non-dysplastic disease, the risk-benefit equation for ablation therapy has not yet determined and stratification of the likelihood of progression should be undertaken using conventional histological and endoscopic criteria.
The guidelines provide evidence based guidance on practices for testing, treating and managing LTBI in infected individuals with the highest likelihood of progression to active disease [2].
The level of infectiousness and the likelihood of progression may depend on the types of infectious diseases and individuals' status.
In this study we followed a large number of TB case contacts for the development of TB disease and related their initial Mantoux and ELISPOT test results to the likelihood of progression to TB disease.
Seropositivity for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) is a useful biomarker in these patients, and indicates a high likelihood of progression to persistent and erosive disease.
