Clinical Accuracy of Alinity m HR HPV Assay on Self- versus Clinician-Taken Samples Using the VALHUDES Protocol.
clinical sensitivity of Alinity assay on all self-sample types was similar to cervical specimens. Adjustment of signal thresholds improved assay’s accuracy to detect CIN2 in all self-sample types. Health ...
A proposal for further developing fatigue-related post COVID-19 health states for burden of disease studies
lived with disability Abstract: Previous efforts to estimate the burden of fatigue-related symptoms due to long COVID have a very high threshold for inclusion of cases, relative to the proposed definition ...
Comparison of the Clinical Accuracy of Xpert HPV Assay on Vaginal Self-Samples and Cervical Clinician-Taken Samples within the VALHUDES Framework.
0.88 (95% CI, 0.80-0.98) for Evalyn and Qvintip, respectively]. No difference in cycle threshold values was observed between vaginal and cervical samples. In conclusion, the sensitivity of Xpert HPV ...
Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic test accuracy of host and HPV DNA methylation in cervical cancer screening and management.
methylation cut-off thresholds, and accuracy in high-risk HPV positive women. Our reference standard will be histology. We will perform meta-analyses using Cochrane guidelines for diagnostic test accuracy. We ...
Mental Distress and Its Contributing Factors Among Young People During the First Wave of COVID-19: A Belgian Survey Study
of COVID-19 in March, and 16–25-year-olds were selected as a subsample. Mental distress was assessed using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and a threshold of ≥4 was used to ...
Global estimates of incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in 2020: a baseline analysis of the WHO Global Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative.
a public health problem (ie, to reduce the incidence of the disease below a threshold of 4 cases per 100 000 women-years). We aimed to assess the extent of global inequalities in cervical cancer incidence ...
Regulatory safety assessment of nanoparticles for the food chain in Europe
that may retain properties at the nanoscale. Key parameters and threshold values for establishing the presence of small particles, the techniques and methods for characterisation in complex matrices, as ...
Efficacy and safety of camostat mesylate in early COVID-19 disease in an ambulatory setting: a randomized placebo-controlled phase II trial.
estimated mean change in cycle threshold between day 1 and day 5 between the camostat and placebo group was 1.183 (P = 0.511). The unadjusted hazard ratio for clinical improvement in the camostat group was ...
Predictors of exceeding emergency under-five mortality thresholds using small-scale survey data from humanitarian settings (1999- 2020): considerations for measles vaccination, malnutrition, and displacement status.
the association between an under-five death rate (U5DR) exceeding this threshold and population status (i.e., internally displaced, refugees or residents), GAM prevalence (proxy for food security), and ...
Identification of Molds with Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry: Performance of the Newly Developed MSI-2 Application in Comparison with the Bruker Filamentous Fungi Database and MSI-1.
63.19% (MSI-1), 38.07% (Bruker with a 1.7 threshold), and 21.8% (Bruker with a 2.0 threshold). The MSI-2 application performed especially well for Aspergillus and Fusarium species, including for many ...
