We therefore estimated the sensitivity and specificity of recorded International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) diagnoses of bone metastases and other SREs (ie, radiation therapy to the bone, pathological fractures, and spinal cord compression) in prostate and breast cancer patients in North Jutland County in Denmark, using data from medical chart reviews as the reference.
At the end of the experiments, slices were perfused with NBQX or APV to verify the specificity of the recorded currents.
2D cross correlations of the resultant smoothed probability density histograms were calculated for both intra- and interelectrode comparisons, to calculate stability of features through time within electrode, and specificity of features recorded between electrodes (Fig. 6A and B).
Indeed, the sex specificity of neurons recorded in adult ArKO−/− males is largely symmetric around 0, and presents a pattern of responses intermediate to those observed in intact juvenile and adult male mice.
Since the 7-day dietary record in this study was specifically focusing on fluids, the assumption was made that the accuracy and specificity for recording of TFI were even higher than the standard dietary (food and fluid) record.
Narrative notes were used for validating coded medications and diagnoses found in medical records, permitting determination of sensitivity and specificity of events as recorded in the electronic medical record.
For example, political pressure from provincial medical associations to minimize government control over medical practice (i.e., external decision-making context) may act to decrease the number and specificity of prenatal record assessment questions and prompts.
Specificity of the DNRP recorded asthma was calculated as the proportion of all men registered without record of asthma at conscription who also had no DNRP record of asthma.
Still, the specificity of the details recorded is bound to raise thorny problems.
17 Another study reported 44% sensitivity and 98% specificity of asthma diagnoses recorded among 18-year-old men reporting for mandatory medical evaluation at the Danish Military Draft Board.
