The phrase "a mdt of" is not correct and does not make sense in written English.
It appears to be an incomplete or misspelled expression, and without context, it is unclear what it is intended to convey.
Example: "We need to discuss a mdt of our recent findings."
Alternatives: "a meeting of" or "a discussion of".
CKDW and GOZF caused a 25% death rate with an MDT of 5.0; CKJZ caused a 12.5% death rate with an MDT of 6.0.
CKTM caused a 75% death rate for chickens, with an MDT of 4.7; all chickens injected with DKXF survived.
Pigeons were more resistant to these isolates than the other birds; the highest death rate was 37.5%, for the EWHC group, with an MDT of 4.3.
The CEMACH national enquiry into diabetes in pregnancy [ 5] highlighted the importance of women having access to a pre-conception service with a MDT to minimise the risk of fetal malformation.
In the present issue of Critical Care, Chan et al. [ 3] describe their experiences with developing and implementing an extubation protocol, illustrating the successes of using a MDT for this task.
Table 2 summarises the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients according to two groups: MDT+ (discussed at an MDT with evidence of an implemented recommendation); MDT- (either not discussed or no implemented recommendation).
We analysed the outcomes of 726 cases of primary head and neck cancer patients managed between 1996 and 2008, including those managed in the multidisciplinary clinic or team setting (MDT) and those managed outside of an MDT by individual disciplines (non-MDT) in the same institution.
The results of this study have been openly discussed with all our colleagues in our institution and we have recommended adherence to evidence-based guidelines and management of all H&N cancer cases in an MDT irrespective of staging.
The pivotal contribution of the MDT coordinator to the effectiveness of an MDT has been acknowledged in a survey of 2000 MDT members in the UK [ 5].
20 The pathway includes time-based targets for each stage (figure 1) and the management of all cases by a designated MDT of specialists in the relevant cancer type.
