Seidelin et al. [ 24] proposed a cutoff point of 470 ng/ml for the level of soluble L-selectin predicting survival in septic patients.
From their results, they proposed a cutoff value of <10 nmol/L for serum folate and <340 nmol/L for RBC folate based on the lowest plasma tHcy.
Based on values from a series of young participants who were cognitively normal, Joshi et al. [ 73] had previously proposed a cutoff value of 1,10 to distinguish normal from abnormal scans.
For S-100β, the manufacturer (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) proposes a cutoff of 0.105 μg/L on a detection range of 0.005 to 39 μg/L for patients with possible cerebral damage (sensitivity 99%, specificity 33%).
The authors proposed a cutoff value for 1-h glucose of 155 mg/dl, which was suggested to be of additive information to identify individuals with NGT and increased IMT.
A recent, large, multicenter study has proposed a cutoff equal to 77 nl/min for VC [ 7], whereas the meta-analysis by Collins et al. reported that a cutoff of 75.2 nl/min would include 99.85 % of PCD patients performing VC maneuvers [ 15].
Because only 3 of the tested environments had SNPs meeting this condition, associations were considered as significant if –log10(p) > 4, as suggestive if –log10(p) > 3 and as supporting if –log10(p) > 2, based on FDR cutoff calculations performed with the R package fdrtool, proposing a cutoff of –log10(p) > 2.
Due to not having a well-defined group of individuals with ON for this purpose, Donini and colleagues proposed a cutoff point to distinguish between individuals with or without ON based on the interrelationship of ORTO-15 scores with obsessive-phobic personality traits as measured by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
In the present study, we investigated whether adequate LN retrieval (≥15) was necessary to evaluate the prognosis of patients and attempted to propose an appropriate cutoff-point for the number of RLNs.
Yet there is ongoing debate surrounding the definition of overweight and obesity in Asian populations: the World Health Organization proposed a BMI cutoff of 23.0 kg/m for overweight among Asians in 2000 133), compared with a cutoff of 25.0 kg/m for non-Asian populations.
