BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is widely underdiagnosed. A number of studies have evaluated the accuracy of screening tests for COPD, but their findings have not been formally summarised. We therefore sought to determine and compare the diagnostic...

Relapsing polychondritis associated with bilateral stapes footplate fixation: a case report.

Journal of medical case reports

Takwoingi YM.
PMID: 19918278
J Med Case Rep. 2009 Sep 09;3:8496. doi: 10.4076/1752-1947-3-8496.

INTRODUCTION: Relapsing polychondritis is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease of uncertain etiology characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation and progressive destruction of cartilaginous tissues. Its respiratory, cardiovascular, renal and neurological complications are life-threatening, and it is thus important to...

Development and external validation of prognostic models for COVID-19 to support risk stratification in secondary care.

OBJECTIVES: Existing UK prognostic models for patients admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 are limited by reliance on comorbidities, which are under-recorded in secondary care, and lack of imaging data among the candidate predictors. Our aims were to develop...

QUADAS-C: A Tool for Assessing Risk of Bias in Comparative Diagnostic Accuracy Studies.

Annals of internal medicine

Yang B, Mallett S, Takwoingi Y, Davenport CF, Hyde CJ, Whiting PF, Deeks JJ, Leeflang MMG.
PMID: 34698503
Ann Intern Med. 2021 Nov;174(11):1592-1599. doi: 10.7326/M21-2234. Epub 2021 Oct 26.

Comparative diagnostic test accuracy studies assess and compare the accuracy of 2 or more tests in the same study. Although these studies have the potential to yield reliable evidence regarding comparative accuracy, shortcomings in the design, conduct, and analysis...

The comparative diagnostic accuracy of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the General Practitioner assessment of Cognition (GPCOG) for identifying dementia in primary care: a systematic review protocol.

Diagnostic and prognostic research

Hunt HA, Van Kampen S, Takwoingi Y, Llewellyn DJ, Pearson M, Hyde CJ.

Diagn Progn Res. 2017 Jun 02;1:14. doi: 10.1186/s41512-017-0014-1. eCollection 2017.

BACKGROUND: Improved dementia identification is a global health priority, and general practitioners (GPs) are often the first point of contact for people with concerns about their cognition. However, GPs often express uncertainty in using assessment tools and the evidence...

Challenges in Comparative Meta-Analysis of the Accuracy of Multiple Diagnostic Tests.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)

Veroniki AA, Tsokani S, Rücker G, Mavridis D, Takwoingi Y.

Methods Mol Biol. 2022;2345:299-316. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-1566-9_18.

The rapid increase in diagnostic and screening techniques has urged the need to choose among multiple diagnostic tests. For the majority of diseases, there is more than a single test available, and studies usually compare a subset of these...

Limited Evidence for Use of a Black Race Modifier in eGFR Calculations: A Systematic Review.

Clinical chemistry

Marzinke MA, Greene DN, Bossuyt PM, Chambliss AB, Cirrincione LR, McCudden CR, Melanson SEF, Noguez JH, Patel K, Radix AE, Takwoingi Y, Winston-McPherson G, Young BA, Hoenig MP.

Clin Chem. 2021 Dec 20; doi: 10.1093/clinchem/hvab279. Epub 2021 Dec 20.

BACKGROUND: Commonly used estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations include a Black race modifier (BRM) that was incorporated during equation derivation. Race is a social construct, and a poorly characterized variable that is applied inconsistently in clinical settings. The...
