This approach also enabled us to assess the consistency of associations across independent variables while avoiding a distortion of the analysis by a possible greater propensity of children to attend a swimming pool more frequently once asthma had been diagnosed.
The propensity score is normalized by dividing it by absolute value of maximum possible propensity score for the molecule of interest.
Because this was an observational study and randomization of patients is not possible, propensity score matching was used to ensure a similar distribution of specific characteristics between the exenatide and glargine patients.
As this is an observational study in which randomization of patients was not possible, propensity score matching [ 35, 36] was used to ensure a similar distribution of characteristics that may influence the development of CVERP and potentially confound productivity loss between patients with and without CVERP.
The probability measure is in this case seen as a representation of an ontological propensity of a possible quantum event to become actual (Lombardi and Castagnino 2008; see also Suárez 2004).
87 One interpretation of these findings is that an interruption of PCDH11X is less well tolerated in males than in females, a possible explanation of the male propensity to autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Regarding parents, the most important identified factors, potentially associated to overprescribing, were the lack of knowledge of RTIs and antibiotics (41% of 1029 parents indicated bacteria as a possible cause of common cold), and the propensity to seek medical care for trivial infections (48% of 4352 children accessing ambulatory practice presented only symptoms of common cold).
This assay was performed in a subset of CAD patients on samples drawn at enrolment, in order to evaluate a possible functional counterpart of an increasing number of prothrombotic alleles in terms of propensity to form blood clot.
A possible wave of selling in 2009 could further test Beijing and its propensity to intervene in such matters.
However, regarding copyright, the judge did say: "It is in theory possible that the propensity of an injunction restraining a threatened breach of copyright to impinge upon a defendant's Article 10 right to freedom of expression might occasionally incline the court, on particular facts, to decline the discretionary remedy of an injunction".
