Danny,

We might not be talking about the same article!

The one I was refering to is:

Urinary dipstick protien: A poor predictor of absent or severe proteinuria. Meyers NL, Mercer BM, et al. AJOG 1994;170:137-41

Showing a neg predictive value of 34% for a neg or trace dip and PPV of 36% for +3 and +4 dips.

Ammo for rounds!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
