Conclusion: Two-stage screening for cervical cancer provides an attractive alternative to conventional screening for low-resource settings.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the emotional and psychopathological impact associated with a second-stage screening for breast cancer.
Despite use of the same California newborn screening data (although for different years), our results do not support the findings of an unpublished analysis of ClO4− and TSH of California newborns in 1996, when the two-stage screening for PCH was in place (Schwartz 2001).
Complications were assessed during a 2-h visit that consisted of clinical assessment by an endocrinologist; anthropometry, blood pressure measurement, and pubertal staging; screening for retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy; and A1C and biochemical analyses, as described previously (11– 11).
This is designed as a first stage screening tool for psychiatric illness, to provide an objective indicator of non-psychotic psychiatric disorders (typically anxiety and mood disorders) [ 30].
Since DNA pooling techniques are normally used as 1st stage screening and for 1st stage design, researchers may be more concerned with false negatives than false positives [ 9, 31].
In this first genome-wide association scan employing approximately 500 000 SNPs for general cognitive ability (g), six SNPs survived our two-stage screen for QTLs that are associated with g across the normal distribution.
In this paper, we present an analytical framework to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of OTOFTs as first-stage screens for carriers of beta thalassaemia, in the context of epistasis with alpha thalassaemia, G6PD deficiency and SAO.
We chose a nominal 20% significance level for this first stage of screening for potential outliers.
This week I write in praise – as they say – of Alan Plater, who has now been "writing the north" for stage, screen and occasional hardback for nearly half a century.
The present paper focuses on a multi-stage screening approach for use in the early process development phase in particular.
