Improving diagnostic accuracy in assessing pulmonary edema on bedside chest radiographs using a standardized scoring approach
BACKGROUND To assess the value of a score-based system which allows standardized evaluation of pulmonary edema on bedside chest radiographs (CXRs) under routine clinical conditions. METHODS Seven experienced readers assessed bedside CXRs of ten patients with an extravascular lung water (EVLW)-value of ≤ 8 mL/kg (range: 4-8 mL/kg; indicates no pulmonary edema) and a series of ten patients with...
متن کاملWhich is more generalizable, powerful and interpretable in meta-analyses, mean difference or standardized mean difference?
BACKGROUND To examine empirically whether the mean difference (MD) or the standardised mean difference (SMD) is more generalizable and statistically powerful in meta-analyses of continuous outcomes when the same unit is used. METHODS From all the Cochrane Database (March 2013), we identified systematic reviews that combined 3 or more randomised controlled trials (RCT) using the same continuou...
متن کاملSample size planning for the standardized mean difference: accuracy in parameter estimation via narrow confidence intervals.
Methods for planning sample size (SS) for the standardized mean difference so that a narrow confidence interval (CI) can be obtained via the accuracy in parameter estimation (AIPE) approach are developed. One method plans SS so that the expected width of the CI is sufficiently narrow. A modification adjusts the SS so that the obtained CI is no wider than desired with some specified degree of ce...
