The IRAR index was the highest in subjects presenting with both T2DM and MS. In addition, the IRAR index had high precision, consistency and reproducibility in the assessment of the insulin resistance.
This assessment is important because hysteroscopy has low reproducibility in assessing the shape of the uterine cavity (Smit et al., 2013).
However, they suffer from limited sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility in comparative assessments performed over a long-term period of time.
Reasonable validity and reproducibility of the assessments of food sources of lignans, including whole grains, wine, coffee, fruits, and vegetables, have been demonstrated in validation studies (8).
Second, echocardiography is problematic in mechanically ventilated patients with COPD in terms of quality, reproducibility and assessment of right ventricular function.
Intra- and interobserver reproducibility for assessment of LV lead position was evaluated in a randomly selected subset of 30 patients.
This grading procedure has been used in numerous clinical trials and has shown good to excellent reproducibility for assessment of vascular lesions and macular edema.
Good reproducibility of assessment of body habitus.
In addition, a second operator repeated the same process to enable determination of the inter-operator reproducibility and assessment of any bias using Bland Altman plots.
Moreover, the PCR-GGI's procedure developed at Jules Bordet was easily transferred at the Josephine Nefkens Institute, Rotterdam following some inter-laboratory tests which gave great confidence in the reproducibility of the assessment of the PCR-GGI.
