CCQ and UC group: to assess feasibility of the final algorithm, the algorithm was tested on databases of previous studies in the Wilhelmina Hospital Assen (n=38) and the Isala klinieken Zwolle (n=168).
EG, DG, PD, APK, MJ, DFL, and GI performed extensive testing of the database.
User testing of this database is anticipated in the future and may help to clarify areas of confusion or ambiguity.
To enhance the reviewer's inter-rater agreement, we evaluated 5 reviews (not included in the study sample) as a pilot testing of the database prior to starting the data abstraction process.
In addition to providing a gold standard for evaluating searches, relative recall can also be used in testing the contribution of databases[ 13, 32].
These databases do not exclusively rely on the tried and tested models of database design, dating from the 1970s.
The ability of the calibration to compensate for attenuation, scatter and partial volume losses, which is the foundation of the harmonisation process, was tested by comparison of databases before and after its application.
Now, with advancements in DNA testing and a multitude of databases available, police might have a chance of determining the identity of Zodiac.
The development and testing of the CORE database is described in the following sections.
These associations were also selective (p<0.01), as assessed by repeated testing of the Ingenuity database with random gene lists of equivalent or variable sizes of selected genes (60 to 200 genes).
