Abstract:
:The construction of time-specified reference limits requires systematic sampling in clinical health, particularly for those variables characterized by a circadian rhythm of large amplitude, as it is the case for blood pressure (BP). For the detection of false negatives, tolerance intervals (limits that will include at least a specified proportion of the population with a stated confidence) are important and should substitute when possible for prediction limits. We have previously described a nonparametric method for the computation of model-independent tolerance intervals that are constructed by first dividing the sampling range in several time spans in which no appreciable changes in population characteristics (namely, mean and variance) take place. The tolerance interval is then computed for each of the time spans. The limits thus computed, as well as results of any comparison of a given individual's profile against such tolerance intervals, are highly dependent on the sampling scheme of both the reference individuals and the test subject. To avoid this problem, we have developed an alternative method that allows the computation of model-dependent tolerance bands for hybrid time series. Assuming that a set X of longitudinal series monitored from a given group of reference individuals can be fitted with the same individual model, a population model C(X,t) can be also determined, as well as the deviation S(X,t) of each individual curve from the population model. The tolerance band will then have the form C(X,t) +/- kS(X,t), where k is here estimated following a nonparametric approach based on bootstrap techniques. Alternatively, two different values of k can be estimated (for the lower and upper limits of the tolerance interval, respectively) in cases for which we cannot assume symmetry. The method is generally applicable for any population model describing the reference population (including the fit of multiple significant components, nonsinusoidal waveforms, and/or trends). The method was used to establish time-specified tolerance bands for time series of blood pressure monitored automatically in healthy individuals of both genders. Model-dependent intervals are preferred to the model-independent limits when reliance on a specified sampling rate needs to be avoided. These limits may serve for an objective and positive definition of health, for the screening and diagnosis of disease, and for gauging the subject's response to treatment.
