However, none of these signs had very good negative likelihood ratios, meaning that they were not useful for excluding severe dehydration in children.
Similarly, in our study in VAP patients, CRP performed better than PCT, presenting a good negative likelihood ratio, meaning that CRP is a good biomarker to exclude that diagnosis in the presence of dubious clinical manifestations.
They all have specific audiences meaning the likelihood of getting the news out to the right people is high.
One important factor is the prescribers' degree of adherence to test results, meaning the likelihood that antimalarials are withheld from those patients who test negative.
A type I error of 5%, meaning the likelihood to accept the hypothesis that Aspergillus SBO patients and control do not differ in their Aspergillus-specific IL-17 response was assumed.
In contrast, the ulcus-vs-ni comparison yielded only 500 significant changes at an FDR of 57.2%, meaning the likelihood is only about 50% that a randomly picked "significant" gene is truly differentially expressed in ulcer vs. non-ulcer tissue (see Additional file 9).
Obviously, the discharge hazard rate without NB is the strongest hazard with its peak (about 25%) about 5 to 6 days after admission and a strong decrease afterwards; meaning the likelihood of discharge without NB decreases for each survived day in ICU.
First, crude and home heating oil inventories in the United States are dramatically lower than anyone forecast six months ago, meaning a high likelihood not only of severe price spikes this winter but also shortages in supply.
For males, in most cases, network has a negative effect on the arrival rate of jobs, both while being unemployed and employed, meaning that the likelihood of finding a job is lower when you match on network.
Notably, there is considerable overlap between SNP distributions, meaning that the likelihood of observing a genetic distance between samples from two individuals will be similar for a range of transmission network configurations.
