Consequently moderately low sensitivities for severe morbidity reporting of diagnoses such as NEC and ROP does not preclude their use in risk factor analyses in population data.
It has a fair reliability and construct validity, with a high sensitivity for moderately to severe cognitive impairment and a lower sensitivity for mild cognitive impairment [ 33].
Therefore, miRNAs were only moderately sensitive and specific for CTC detection (i.e., the sensitivity and specificity of miR-200c [ 39] were 65.4% and 100%, respectively).
The Mini- Mental- State- Examination (MMSE), developed by Folstein and McHugh [ 53], is a screening instrument for cognitive impairment, and has a fair reliability and construct validity, with a high sensitivity for moderately-severe cognitive impairment and a lower sensitivity for mild cognitive impairment [ 54].
This study shows that, among a group comprising both asymptomatic and symptomatic arriving international airline travellers, ITIS can have moderately high sensitivity and specificity for a high body core temperature of ≥37.8°C.
Following the introduction of commercial assays with high sensitivity for C-reactive protein (CRP) moderately elevated levels of this compound in serum have become a well-established marker of low-grade inflammation.
When three urine samples were collected, each 1 3 months apart, sensitivity moderately increased for MEHP and MMP, with slight increases for the other monoesters.
HMEC-1 cells were moderately sensitive to continuous exposure to cisplatin, but showed greater sensitivity to bleomycin.
For both vaccines, results were moderately sensitive to treatment costs.
In a woodchuck model, 11C-choline sensitivity for detection of well-differentiated HCCs was higher than that of 18F-FDG, and in 12 patients with moderately differentiated HCCs, the 11C-choline detection rate was better than that of 18F-FDG.
