A model for optimization of biomarker testing frequency to minimize disease and cost : example of beryllium sensitization testing / Nancy L. Judd ... [et al.]
A common problem with medical surveillance programs using biomarkers is determining the optimal frequency of testing to minimize adverse health effects and cost. In the case of beryllium-exposed workers, frequency of testing for beryllium sensitization may be especially important. Recent studies indicate a lack of dose response for beryllium sensitization, but do support a dose response for the development of chronic beryllium disease
