Results for strength correlated with clinical outcome scores (Constant-Murley, DASH, and [D]SST) indicating moderately strong relationships and a moderate predictive value of the outcome scores.
The combination of a normal pCr (< 1.24 mg/dl) and low CCl (< 48.6 ml/min) had a moderately high predictive value (0.88) for the early detection of AKI.
Electronic death certificate surveillance provided timely information, matched the demographics and epidemiologic curve of that obtained from traditional influenza-related death surveillance, and had a moderately positive predictive value.
The AUC was 0.72 (95% CI 0.53 to 0.91, P < 0.0001), indicating a moderately to highly predictive value of VSSinitial in relation to hospital mortality.
However, in patients with more severe stroke at baseline (defined as NIHSS>2), baseline MoCA and MMSE had a significant and moderately large incremental predictive value to the baseline NIHSS for mRS scores at 3 6 months (MMSE: R changes=0.021, p=0.010; MoCA: R changes=0.017, p=0.021).
We can conclude, however, that the clustered alignment approach demonstrates good predictive value for moderately sized queries and a range of values of k.
The study suggests that although MRI is highly sensitive, it has a low positive predictive value and moderately low specificity and accuracy in detecting full-thickness rotator cuff tears in patients with severe glenohumeral osteoarthritis.
Note: PPV = Positive Predictive Value, NPV = Negative Predictive Value.
In 65 patients with ARDS, Lakhal and colleagues [ 1] observed that pulse pressure variations moderately predicted the response to fluids and that the predictive value was equivalent to that of pulmonary artery pressure.
There was statistically significant evidence that each measure had some predictive value, with the estimated AUCs indicating a moderately strong predictive power.
