@entity2147 is one of the most consulted symptoms among @entity1 evaluated at @entity25 centers and it is frequently related to @entity27 ( @entity27 ). Our hypothesis is that @entity25 ( @entity25 ) is the parameter with the greatest predictive value in the @entity27 diagnosis. We compared @entity1 with @entity27 diagnosis to a control group. In both groups we compared @entity25 with body mass index (BMI), neck circumference (NC), waist perimeter (WP). Anthropometric index (BMI, NC and WC), were similar in both groups (p < 0.10). When we analyzed @entity25 , a score greater than 10 was observed in the @entity27 group, with a significant difference between groups (p < 0.001). @entity25 yielded 60% of sensibility, 82% of specificity and a positive predictive value of 85%. The negative predictive value was 52%. Confidence index was 70%. The relationship between @entity27 and @entity25 scale was significant (Pearson Chi-Square value 7.5). Odds Ratio for @entity386 was 15 and its confidence interval was lower than 1.5 and upper than 141. We conclude that with @entity25 score exceeding 10 points @entity27 should be suspected.
