Diagnostic Tests in the Sicca Syndrome
Abstract
The lysozyme test is the most sensitive test for the diagnosis of the sicca syndrome. The agar diffusion method could be used as a routine diagnostic procedure. With a diameter limit of 21½ mm of lysis under the test conditions described, one out of every 100 diagnoses would be wrong. For the rose bengal test, using a limit of score of staining intensity of 3½ one out of every 20 to 25 times a diagnostic error could be expected. With the Schirmer's 1 test, using a limit of 5½ mm wetting the filter-paper strip, one out of every six persons would be misclassified. No difference in values between men and women was found at any age level in any test. Age effects were found with lysozyme and Schirmer's 1 tests, but not with the rose bengal test.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
