Comparison of predictive values of two diagnostic tests from the same sample of subjects using weighted least squares.

Screening and diagnostic tests are important in disease prevention or control. The predictive values of positive and negative (PPV and NPV) test results are two of four operational characteristics of a screening test. We review an existing method based on the generalized estimating equation (GEE) methodology for comparing predictive values from the same sample of subjects and propose two Wald test statistics derived from the weighted least squares (WLS) method for the analysis of categorical data. Using these results, we propose sample size calculation formulae for this problem. Simulation studies are conducted to compare the performances of the two Wald test statistics (one based on the difference of two PPVs or NPVs, another based on the logarithm of the ratio of two PPVs or NPVs) and the score/Wald test statistic derived from GEE. We recommend using the difference-based WLS approach.

Preoperative angiography with embolization and radiofrequency ablation as novel adjuncts to safe surgical resection of a large, vascular sacrococcygeal teratoma.

Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) can present a challenging problem and can be associated with significant perinatal morbidity and mortality. A female child was born at 36 weeks' gestation with a large, vascular Type 1 SCT originally identified by prenatal ultrasound. A CT scan showed two large feeding vessels arising from both internal iliac arteries that were successfully embolized during angiography. A radiofrequency probe was then used to ablate a zone between normal tissue and the tumor. The SCT was subsequently surgically excised with minimal blood loss. This case is presented to illustrate two useful and previously unreported postnatal adjuncts to the surgical treatment of massive, hypervascular sacrococcygeal tumors.
