The recognition of risk factors that can stratify a population of cirrhotic patients into subgroups with different survival is of great prognostic value for the clinician.
Within a population of bacteria there exists a subgroup of cells that do not grow at the normal rate but exists in a quiescent, non-growing or slow-growing state.
One research group also has looked at the correlation between amniotic fluid testosterone and a range of characteristics related to ASD in subgroups from a population of several hundred children for whom testosterone had been measured in amniotic fluid.
Women on probation and parole stand out as a particularly vulnerable subgroup in a population of women already experiencing severe challenges to health and wellbeing.
The tree showed the robustness of the avian-associated subgroup within a population of human isolates from the same country, and the distribution of avian-associated and human isolates differed significantly (p = 0.025, by Fisher exact test) (www.exactoid.com/fisher/index.php).
Darwin has a population of approximately 110,000 people and also provides an opportunity to examine the relative impact on indigenous Australians, a high-risk population subgroup comprising 11% of the population of Darwin [ 19].
In the literature, the largest published data pool consists of 1127 eyes, a mixed population of different subgroups of open angle glaucomas [ 2].
30 A general antenatal population constructed of subgroups with different risk profiles is difficult to replicate and future "general populations" are likely to comprise a different case-mix.
For each subgroup, we set the proportion of vaccine equal to the population proportion (e.g., if a population subgroup represented 10% of the populations, we assumed that the subgroup would be administered 10% of the doses each week).
In 63.9% of scenarios considered, vaccination would lead to a better outcome for a population or subgroup with that combination of parameters.
