Poor measure quality was marked by inadequacies in the testing and reporting of validity and reliability. There was also a lack of usability testing among measures. CONCLUSIONS This review identified the extant patient-reported SC measures in health care and demonstrated significant variance in their coverage of SC domains, validity and reliability, and usability. Findings suggest a pressing need for a stand-alone measure that has a high validity and reliability, and assess core SC domains from the patient perspective, particularly in primary care.OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic ability of support vector machine (SVM) for early breast cancer (BC) using dedicated breast positron emission tomography (dbPET). METHODS We evaluated 116 abnormal fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptakes less than 2 cm on dbPET images in 105 women. Fluorodeoxyglucose uptake patterns and quantitative PET parameters were compared between BC and noncancer groups. Diagnostic accuracy of the SVM model including quantitative parameters was compared with that of visual assessment based on FDG-uptake pattern. RESULTS Age, maximum standardized uptake value, peak standardized uptake value, total lesion glycolysis, metabolic tumor volume, and lesion-to-contralateral background ratio were significantly different between BC and noncancer groups. Area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for FDG-uptake pattern of visual assessment were 0.77, 0.57, 0.77, and 0.71, respectively; those of an SVM model including age, maximum standardized uptake value, total lesion glycolysis, and lesion-to-contralateral background ratio were 0.89, 0.94, 0.77, and 0.85, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Support vector machine showed high diagnostic performance for BC using dbPET.PURPOSE The aims of the study were to assess the typical and atypical ra
