The supervisors agreed to weigh the impact of not only requiring a higher baseline pay for their roughly 100,000 employees — the largest local government workforce in the United States — but also for county contractors and businesses in those unincorporated areas.
Despite randomization, patients in the MMF group may have had a higher baseline risk for treatment failure; more MMF patients had refractory disease and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's).
This is because the study's findings were derived from a sample of children that belonged to low-income families with a higher proportion of Hispanic children and, possibly, with a higher baseline risk for poor health status than NEC survivors in the commercially insured population.
This was also useful for evaluating whether our reference group (patients with type II diabetes who did not receive anti-diabetic medication prescriptions) had good glucose control and were not at a higher baseline risk for liver cancer because they had uncontrolled diabetes.
This implies that the same risk ratio will correspond to a larger absolute risk difference if there is a higher baseline risk: for example, 1% versus 2% and 5% versus 10% both imply risk ratios of 2, but varying absolute risk differences.
Given that the rate of serious bleeding events was also higher in ENHANCE during the post-infusion period, where, due to the short half-life of the drug, patients were not exposed to DrotAA, this suggests a higher baseline risk for bleeding in ENHANCE compared with PROWESS, with higher degrees of both haematologic and hepatic dysfunction, both of which are associated with increased bleeding risk.
Baseline registrations of laboratory measures were not different in FCGs with the exception of a higher baseline prolactin level for risperidone (Mean 746.8 IU/L) compared with quetiapine (one-way ANOVA: p = 0.001; mean diffence 401.4 IU/L; 95% CI 128.1-674.6) and ziprasidone (one-way ANOVA: p = 0.017; mean difference IU/L 293.3; 95% CI 35.9-550.6).
He said: "I am open to the review making recommendations that the FPC may need the power to implement a leverage ratio ahead of this timetable or to set a higher baseline ratio in some circumstances for UK banks".
Baseline renal variables were comparable between subgroups except for a higher baseline eGFR in non-septic patients.
