Neither singular SERPINE1 (P=0.06) nor SMA expression (P=0.042) at the tumour-advancing front matched the prognostic ability of ECS (P<0.001) to predict OS (Shaw et al, 2010) (Figure 5A and B).
To determine the prognostic ability of established percent-predicted equations of peak oxygen consumption (%PRED) estimated by a moderate submaximal walking test in a large cohort of outpatients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The prognostic ability of a single measurement of peak oxygen uptake (VO(2)) is well established in patients with chronic heart failure.
Bruck et al. compared the prognostic ability of 11C-PiB PET, 18F-FDG-PET, and quantitative hippocampal volumes measured with MR imaging in predicting MCI to AD conversion.
The composite characteristics of Pv aCO2/Ca vO2, however, suggest that the prognostic ability might be mainly related to the interaction of several mechanisms, not only to anaerobic metabolism.
In a recent study involving 60,000 ICU admissions, functional capacity prior to ICU admission was not only independently associated with outcomes but also improved the prognostic ability of SAPS3 [5].
The purpose of this study was to assess whether addition of RDW and RIFFLE classification, would improve the prognostic ability of the NEWS at the time of rapid response team (RRT) activation.
There are however limited data on the prognostic ability of IGRAs to predict the development of active TB disease.
For lung adenocarcinoma patients who received surgery without radiation, the comprehensive model was able to improve upon the prognostic ability of AJCC staging for low-risk patients with an average survival of 72.4 versus 62.3 months (log-rank P<0.0001).
The prognostic ability of our index based on the 88-gene expression profile in ridge regression Cox hazard model was shown to be independent of other clinical factors in predicting cancer prognosis across two distinct datasets.
As low BRS values are demonstrably associated with a higher risk of cardiac mortality it is important to further investigate the prognostic ability of TRS in identifying persons at risk [2], [19].
