After tier 1 and 2 cut points for anti-drug antibody (ADA) assays are derived during pre-study assay validation in a population, there is a need to verify the continued appropriateness of the previously derived cut points during sample analysis in the same or different populations, per FDA guidance (US HHS, FDA, CDER, CBER, 2019). Proper sample size-dependent criteria with statistical underpinning were derived and presented in this technical note to aid in assessing the appropriateness of tier 1 and tier 2 cut points, respectively.

Background: Plasma NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) is commonly used to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but its diagnostic performance in the ambulatory/outpatient setting is unknown because previous studies lacked objective reference standards.
Methods: Among patients with chronic dyspnea, diagnosis of HFpEF or noncardiac dyspnea was determined conclusively by exercise catheterization in a derivation cohort (n=414), multicenter validation cohort 1 (n=560), validation cohort 2 (n=207), and a nonobese Japanese validation cohort 3 (n=77). Optimal NT-proBNP cut points for HFpEF rule out (optimizing sensitivity) and rule in (optimizing specificity) were derived and tested, stratified by obesity and atrial fibrillation.

Background: Postprandial glucose concentration 1-h (1 h-PG) after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) has similar or superior performance to 2 h-PG in predicting type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in several populations, and is simpler to obtain in clinical practice. However, studies in Asians are scarce. We investigated the utility of elevated baseline 1 h-PG in predicting T2DM incidence within three years, and its relationship with β-cell function in 1250 non-diabetic Asian participants.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical features and risk factors of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
Patients And Methods: The patients with HIV-infected without ICH group were matched to the group of HIV-infected ICH patients. Logistic regression analysis using 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to investigate the independent risk factors for ICH in HIV-infected patients.

Background: The accuracy of intraoperative rapid frozen pathology is suboptimal, and the assessment of invasiveness in malignant pulmonary nodules significantly influences surgical resection strategies. Predicting the invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma based on preoperative imaging is a clinical challenge, and there are no established standards for the optimal threshold value using the threshold segmentation method to predict the invasiveness of stage T1 lung adenocarcinoma. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of three-dimensional solid component volume (3D SCV) [calculated by artificial intelligence (AI) threshold segmentation method] in predicting the aggressiveness of T1 lung adenocarcinoma and to determine its optimal threshold and cut-off point.

FGF21 regulates local and systemic metabolic homeostasis. High serum FGF21 was found in obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and coronary heart disease. The pathways linking obesity and breast cancer remain elusive.
