To put this threshold value in context, a systematic review of 69 SLNB accuracy studies conducted between 1970 and 2003 (total 7765 mapped sentinel nodes) found 81% of studies reported an SLNB FN rate lower than 13% (Kim et al, 2006).
Figure 8 is an example of setting a frequency threshold in the context of a genome position of interest.
"For those who question the level of the de minimis, we considered the threshold in the context of an overall $300 trillion notional swaps market," he said, noting that $8 billion was hardly significant amid this huge market.
("Herd immunity" refers to the idea that a population can support a small percentage of unvaccinated individuals as long as the proportion of vaccinated individuals remains above a certain threshold – in that context herd immunity will protect most of the unvaccinated individuals because outbreaks will be thwarted by the high level of vaccinated individuals).
There's an argument to be made for those who think the definition of "bullying" should take on a higher threshold in the context of sports.
Whether a threshold would be predicted at low exposures is open to discussion; at least, an effective threshold, in the context of increase over background, can be predicted.
Three other SNPs crossed this threshold in the context of exploratory analyses, making their interpretation more difficult due to multiple testing.
32 According to provisional data, the gross domestic product per capita in the case of Greece was approximately €80 20,000 33 in 2011 and therefore €80 60,000 per QALY can be considered as an appropriate threshold in the context of the World Health Organization recommendation.
Table 4 shows the impact of raising the HC2 threshold in the context of two triage and follow-up strategies for HC2-positive women compared with baseline cytology testing.
In contrast with most other microarray methods in which an "absent" measure is the result of intensities falling below a background threshold, in the context of the Illumina BeadChip platform "no call" indicates that the intensities fell outside the bounds of the clustering regions defined for AA, AB and BB genotypes, even if those intensities were high.
