ANOVA: ANalysis Of VAriance between groups on 2009-11-18
- If we test 21 pairs we should not be surprised to observe
  things that happen only 5% of the time
- in 21 pairings, a P=.05
  for one pair cannot be considered significant.
Analysis of queries sent to PubMed at the point of... [BMC Med Inform Decis Mak. 2008] - PubMed result on 2009-11-12
- Queries sent to PubMed by physicians at our hospital during daily medical care contain fewer than three terms
- Methods to facilitate the formulation of precise queries, using more relevant terms, should be the focus of education and research
Providing evidence-based answers to complex clinic... [Acad Med. 2005] - PubMed result on 2009-11-12
- In general, both informationists and physicians trained in research methodology had a high degree of intergroup agreement for ranking article pertinence, while the generalists were less likely to agree on pertinent articles.
Centre for Health Evidence on 2009-11-04
- We use the term CDSS to describe software designed to directly aid in clinical
  decision making about individual patients
Teaching in Your Office on 2009-11-04
- Evaluating the Literature for Best Evidence
Centre for Health Evidence on 2009-11-04
- we present an approach to choosing and subsequently searching the most efficient electronic resource for finding the
  best evidence
- While a properly defined clinical study could answer a focused clinical question, general clinical
  questions are too broad to be answered by a single study or meta-analysis.
- 4 more annotations...
- - Clinical Evidence
  - Cochrane Library
  - Best Evidence
  - The
    Cochrane Library focuses primarily on systematic reviews of controlled trials of therapeutic interventions and thus
    provides little help in addressing other aspects of medical care, such as the value of a new diagnostic test or a patient's
    prognosis
GEM - The Global Evidence Mapping Initiative - Putting Research Into Context on 2009-11-04
- Australasian Cochrane Centre
Centre for Language Technology on 2009-10-30
- LT Update
Okinawa Travel Guide: Ishigaki Island on 2009-10-29
- some of the best snorkeling on the island
Overlaps on 2009-10-20
- To establish the evidence base for the diagnosis of sleep apnea (SA) in adult patients, a systematic review of the literature from 1980 through November 1, 1997 was performed.
  - Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
- The sensitivity and specificity of partial channel and partial time PSGs appeared most promising as replacements for full PSG in patients suspected of obstructive SA
  - Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
- 22 more annotations...
- - Studies of portable sleep monitors, radiologic or morphologic features, and focused questionnaires were too heterogeneous to be meta-analyzed.
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - Thus, we are still not in a position to recommend standardization of diagnostic methodology for sleep apnea
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - study the utility of four clinical prediction models
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - For AHI > or =10, the sensitivities ranged from 76 to 96%, specificities from 13%-54%
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation; note that we need to infer that AHI>9 is same as AHI>=10
  - Prospective data collection on consecutive patients referred to a sleep center
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - Only 5 variables--age, sex, body mass index, snoring, and stopping breathing during sleep--were significantly associated with sleep apnea.
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - the total score was trichotomized into low-, moderate-, and high-risk groups with prevalence of sleep apnea of 8%, 51%, and 82%, respectively
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - We conclude that this decision rule was able to accurately classify the risk of sleep apnea and will be useful for prioritizing patients with suspected sleep apnea who are on waiting lists for polysomnography
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - 744 adults (of 1008 surveyed [74%]), of whom 100 underwent sleep studies.
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - Survey items addressed the presence and frequency of snoring behavior, waketime sleepiness or fatigue, and history of obesity or hypertension.
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - For the 100 patients who underwent sleep studies, risk grouping was useful in prediction of the RDI
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - being in the high-risk group predicted an RDI greater than 5 with a sensitivity of 0.86, a specificity of 0.77, a positive predictive value of 0.89, and a likelihood ratio of 3.79
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - Patients with persistent and frequent symptoms in any two of these three domains were considered to be at high risk for sleep apnea
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Needs anaphora resolution to previous sentence
  - The Berlin Questionnaire provides a means of identifying patients who are likely to have sleep apnea.
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    It mentions the disease, the intervention, and that it provides a means
  - Mallampati score as an independent predictor of obstructive sleep apnea.
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    No relevant information found here!
  - One hundred ninety-two patients (152 men and 40 women) referred to our clinic with suspected OSAS underwent a complete polysomnography study and their BMI and truncal obesity measurements were obtained
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Note the need to infer numbers from numerical phrases
  - found
  - our patients' risk of suffering from OSAS was 2.6 times greater if the waist-to-hip ratio was >1 in men and >0.85 in women.
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - Reliability and factor analysis of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Low correlation between abstract and long snip
  - Factor analysis of item scores showed that the ESS had only one factor for 104 medical students and for 150 patients with various sleep disorders
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Annotation
  - The questionnaire had a high level of internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha (0.88)
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Good match
  - The ESS is a simple and reliable method for measuring persistent daytime sleepiness in adults.
    Diego Molla Aliod on 2009-10-20
    
    Note that the matching long snip has an opinion
