Preoperative diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis: accuracy of noninvasive testing.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid endarterectomy has been shown to be beneficial in symptomatic patients with a severe stenosis (70% to 99%) of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the standard of reference in the diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis but has a relatively high complication rate. In a diagnostic study we investigated the accuracy of noninvasive...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of electrodiagnostic testing in the evaluation of weakness.
Electrodiagnostic testing is often used in the evaluation of patients presenting with weakness, but the diagnostic accuracy of the test in this setting is unknown. We prospectively identified 100 patients presenting to our electromyography (EMG) laboratory with the chief complaint of weakness, and compared their referring diagnosis with the electrophysiological diagnosis reached after electrodi...
متن کاملAccuracy of diagnostic testing in primary ciliary dyskinesia
Diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) lacks a "gold standard" test and is therefore based on combinations of tests including nasal nitric oxide (nNO), high-speed video microscopy analysis (HSVMA), genotyping and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). There are few published data on the accuracy of this approach.Using prospectively collected data from 654 consecutive patients referred f...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of noninvasive detection of fetal trisomy 21 in maternal blood: a systematic review.
BACKGROUND Both pregnant women and providers of obstetric care are aware of the rapid advances in noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) of fetal trisomies, and appear to look forward to its clinical introduction. OBJECTIVES To review and critically assess the published literature on diagnostic accuracy of NIPD using cell-free fetal DNA or RNA in maternal blood to detect fetal trisomy 21. ME...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of noninvasive coronary angiography using 64-slice spiral computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography using a new 64-slice scanner. BACKGROUND The new 64-slice MSCT scanner has improved spatial resolution of 0.4 mm and a faster rotation time (330 ms) compared to prior MSCT scanners. METHODS We studied 70 consecutive patients undergoing elective invasive coron...
