Meanings of diagnostic specificity in English

Background: Some high-risk (HR) mental states for psychosis may lack diagnostic specificity and predictive value.

Population stratification potential and diagnostic specificity was studied by genotyping individuals from additional populations and psychiatric diagnostic classes.

IGRAs improve diagnostic specificity by using antigens not found in the Bacille Calmette-Guérin, a vaccine given in most countries.

We recommend that future studies focus on maximising the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of the most promising neurophysiological biomarkers.

The lack of diagnostic specificity for MCI 'non-progressors' is a weakness inherent in framing MCI primarily within a deterministic neurodegenerative pathway.

For example, TN might hold the potential to enhance diagnostic specificity, better recognize increased vulnerability in at-risk populations, and augment intervention efficacy.

Our study highlights the utility of comprehensive molecular genetic testing, which provides the advantage of speed and diagnostic specificity without invasive procedures.

The diagnostic specificity of the method was demonstrated closed to 100% while the diagnostic sensitivity was strictly related to the herd-seroprevalence.

The ELISA-Abs showed a diagnostic specificity of 97.7%.

The diagnostic sensitivity was 100% for both viruses whilst diagnostic specificity estimates were 100% for CSFV detection and 97.3% for ASFV detection.
