Some find that less than reassuring because the FISA courts operate in secret, receive application of unknown specificity, and issue orders that are carried out in secrect.
A balance needs to be achieved between limiting errors in measurements and estimates of risk and eruption forecasts, and maintaining credibility and specificity, in order to retain trust and promote actions by end-users (Voight [1990]).
A sandwich ELISA method suitable to detect mucosal IgG and especially IgA needs high specificity and sensitivity, in order to ignore contaminant within genital fluids and to reveal also low IgA concentrations.
Moreover, the simultaneous evaluation by the two methods allowed us to differentiate HUS acute patients from normal healthy children with a great specificity and accuracy, in order to confirm the HUS etiology when non-pathogenic bacteria were isolated from stools.
Moreover, the simultaneous evaluation by the two methods allowed us to differentiate acute HUS patients from NHC with a great specificity and accuracy, in order to confirm the HUS etiology when pathogenic bacteria were not isolated from stools.
When plasma EBV DNA detection followed by MRI, the sensitivity and specificity of order test were 96% and 85.3%, respectively; the positive and negative predictive values were 82.6% and 96.7%, respectively (Table 1).
The ideal diagnostic test of OSA, though inexpensive, simple, and fast, should have both high sensitivity and specificity, in order to discriminate among affected and nonaffected patients.
When MRI followed by plasma EBV DNA detection, the sensitivity and specificity of order test were 88.9% and 28.6%, respectively; the positive and negative predictive values were 82.8% and 40%, respectively.
Previous attempts to develop child adiposity intervention protocols have shown that low precision results in a protocol with limited clinical value.[23] Consequently, our approach was to prioritise high precision and specificity in order to avoid unnecessary interventions, and to aid increasing compliance among children and parents selected by the protocol.
Nonetheless, main efforts have been made to improve critical points such as the sensitivity and specificity in order to ensure a fast and reliable method.
