DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2017.09.003
Abstract: BACKGROUND Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be classified into groups A/C or B/D based on symptom intensity. Different threshold values for symptom questionnaires can result in misclassification and, in turn, different treatment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jneb.2019.05.476
Abstract: Background Accelerometers are popular, objective physical activity (PA) measures. However, when using accelerometry, data processing decisions must be made regarding sampling intervals (i.e., epoch lengths (EL)) and PA intensity cut-points. Objective To examine how different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.topol.2018.03.016
Abstract: Abstract The concept of cut point convex sets is used to study non-cut points of a connected topological space. Some relations between cut point convex sets, H-sets and COTS are established. We prove that an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(19)30686-2
Abstract: Although the recommended cut-point for cardiac troponin (cTn) is the 99th%, many institutions use cut-points that are multiples higher than the 99th%. Prior studies have shown that patients with a HEART Score (HS) ≤ 3… read more here.
