Investigation revealed that if the computer algorithm were modified to allow concordance with the panel members, other classification errors would result; therefore, these discrepancies were allowed to stand.
We analysed whether a modified (delayed) well interpretation improved concordance, allowing growth in drug-containing wells to be interpreted as resistant if it occurred within 7 or 14 days after TB growth was first identified in drug-free wells (and not only on the same day).
Altogether, modified Gleason grading has generally improved the concordance between biopsy and radical prostatectomy Gleason score, associates better with pathologic parameters at radical prostatectomy, and is more predictive for biochemical recurrence as well as metastasis and disease-specific death.
In order to eliminate the effect of a random pattern of concordance or fliprates in a series, we modified the consistency-related variables by using a randomized component.
Knapp et al., [ 11] subsequently modified the LATCon and developed a 20-item (Leeds Attitudes to Concordance scale II (LATCon II).
The purpose of this study is to perform a secondary analysis using modified methods of previously reported data to analyze the amount of examiner concordance in the Johnston and Friedman percussion scan of the most fixated spinal level.
These findings are in concordance with previous studies showing an increase of specific IgG4 after SCIT with modified pollen extracts 21, 40, 47.
A 10-factor modified prognostic model based on the TAX327 trial had the greatest observed discrimination ability for OS and PFS (concordance probability = 0.623 and 0.603, respectively) among the modified nomograms or classifiers.
Using a modified probe set annotation library file, exon expression summarization is made possible on the Gene Array and demonstrates high concordance with the Exon Array as well as the potential to detect tissue-specific transcript isoforms.
To compare the concordance between two cognitive impairment (CI) screening tests: the 30-point Folstein's Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and their validated and slightly modified spanish translation, the 35-point Lobo's Mini-Examen Cognoscitivo (MEC).
