In line with previous studies, we defined CKD using administrative coding (see Additional file 2 for codes), which is highly specific but poorly sensitive (median sensitivity 41%; median specificity 98%) [ 4, 11].
As an alternative, we could only describe CKD using administrative coding, which is highly specific but poorly sensitive (median sensitivity 41%; median specificity 98%) [ 36], and by the surrogate of prior visits with a nephrologist which is an important shortcoming.
Pure graphene is poorly sensitive to hydrogen, but incorporation of PdNPs increases its sensitivity by more than an order of magnitude.
The elastic network model correctly describes the basic architecture of the complex but is poorly sensitive to the level of calcium compared to the other methods.
Since diagnostic tests used in routine are poorly sensitive, observing Map spread in the field is hardly possible, whereas there is a need for evaluating control strategies.
Chest x-ray can sometimes display enlarged central pulmonary arteries, increased distal pulmonary vasculature markings, and/or right atrial and right ventricular enlargement, though these findings are poorly sensitive [1].
Portal venous gas, pneumatosis intestinalis and, to a lesser extent, abnormal contrast-induced bowel wall enhancement were poorly sensitive, but exhibited good specificities of 95, 85 and 71%, respectively.
Because the US B-mode is able to demonstrate the presence of intra-abdominal fluid in most cases, but is poorly sensitive in detecting post-traumatic organ damage [3, 15], some authors recommend the CEUS in complement of FAST or the US for the evaluation of liver, spleen and kidney trauma [10], others reserve the CEUS at low energy abdominal trauma.
The usual marker of acute kidney injury (AKI) is either poorly specific, poorly sensitive and/or delayed as regards the renal injury leading to an unavoidable late recognition of AKI and thus delayed interventions that may partly explain this situation [3].
These models were poorly sensitive to the number of selected PCoA axes for vegetation (Fig. S1b d).
Orenstein et al demonstrated in a simulation study that poorly sensitive outcomes could lead to underestimation of field vaccine effectiveness in three different observational designs [16].
