Determination of optimal diagnostic cut-offs for the Naval Medical Research Centre scrub typhus IgM ELISA in Chiang Rai, Thailand (Publications)
OD values peaked at a cutoff of 2.0, whereas there was little association between positivity by culture or eschar with increasing ELISA cutoffs-cutoffs of 3.0 and 4.0 were demonstrated to be optimal for [...] cutoffs varied from 57.1% to 90.0% depending on the reference test and sample timing, whereas specificities ranged from 85.2% to 99.0%. We therefore recommend a cutoff of around 2.0, depending on the sensitivity
Incidence and duration of human papillomavirus infections in young women: insights from a bimonthly follow-up cohort (Publications)
s were associated with a lower risk of detectability loss (hazard ratio 0.45 with a 95% confidence interval, CI, from 0.21 to 0.97). The number of lifetime sexual partners was strongly associated with [...] was associated with a lower risk of displaying incident infections (hazard ratio of 0.64 with a 95%CI from 0.43 to 0.96). CONCLUSION: In the short term, vaccination shows clear signs of protection against

Discrepancy in reporting of perioperative complications: a retrospective observational study (Publications)
recording was high (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.89 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.86, 0.91) for intraoperative and 0.88 (95% CI: 0.85, 0.90) for postoperative complications). In 320 patients
Application of land use regression modelling to assess the spatial distribution of road traffic noise in three European cities (Publications)
Model performance (adjusted R2) was 0.66-0.87 for "GIS-only" models, and 0.70-0.89 for "Best" models. Short-term noise measurements showed a high correlation (r=0.62-0.78) with noise estimates from the standard
