Estimating the prevalence of childhood disability is subject to the same validity and reliability issues affecting the measurement of adult disability.
We observed the same validity of the EQ-5D-5L in discriminating patients at different CD4 groups, and HIV/AIDS stages.
The library construction method (through the excess of oligo dT) during the first reverse transcription) led to short polyA 3'-end stretches, allowing almost the same validity rate of the sequences either from 5' (82.2%) or 3' (80.9% -end.
It is unbelievable to me, and I no longer feel that his philosophy has the same validity or aura of truth that it formerly did.
Finally, it must be considered that this post hoc analysis was performed in an uncontrolled patient cohort, and its results must not be considered to have the same validity as those of a randomized, controlled trial.
The pollster, however, will register it as having the same validity as the response of someone with a firm conviction on the issue.
Clearly, Hinchliffe did not mean his "rule" to have the same validity as a law of nature.
Our results argue that a computerized adaptive test has the same sensitivity and specificity as its full-length version, and the same validity as a measure of symptom severity.
In this experiment, the task was identical to the task of the first follow-up experiment, except that we used the semantically meaningful words "HARD" and "EASY" as the conflict-predicting cues (with the same 80%% validity), instead of the horizontal bars.
While this concurrent validity evidence is not of the same value as predictive validity evidence, it is none the less interesting as validated, objective, reliable and scalar information on professionalism in undergraduate medical students.
The validation was restricted to convergent validity, i.e. concordance with other measures of the same construct, and concurrent validity, i.e. associations with other constructs of relevance measured at the same time.
