Sentence examples for a restrictive threshold for from inspiring English sources

The three main reasons for establishing a restrictive threshold for initiating ART are: (i) to treat people who need ART; (ii) to minimise harms caused by prolonged exposure to toxicity; and (iii) to ration care.

The authors hypothesized that a restrictive threshold for red blood cell transfusion (transfusion when hemoglobin was below 7 g/dL with a goal of 7 to 9 g/dL) was safer and more effective than a liberal transfusion strategy (transfusion when hemoglobin was below 9 g/dL with a goal of 9 to 11 g/dL).

The majority of respondents expressed a willingness to study a restrictive threshold of ≤8 g/dL (92%) and a liberal goal of ≥10 g/dl (75%); in both cases, the preferred transfusion thresholds were significantly higher for patients with DCI (P < 0.0001).

However, the overriding purpose of maintaining a more restrictive threshold for initiation is unstated in policy: it acts as a form of rationing treatment.

Objective: The objective was to prove that the restrictive threshold for red blood cell transfusion in patients with acute upper GI bleeding (UGIB) was safer and more effective than a liberal transfusion strategy.

As suggested by Field (2009) [ 31], a sample size of 50 individuals can be satisfactory for factor analysis, if more restrictive thresholds for interpretation of factor loading are employed.

This means that a restrictive CD4 threshold for treatment initiation will also be counterproductive in attempting to allocate resources fairly; "doing less with more" in this area also implies depriving others of needed interventions towards which these resources could otherwise have been channelled.

In a typical analysis of high-throughput gene expression data, the choice of false discovery rate (FDR) threshold is not objective, i.e., it represents an arbitrary balance between missing relevant genes due to a highly restrictive threshold, and a less restrictive threshold resulting in an increasing number of differentially-expressed genes with more false positives.

In order to avoid this problem, a less restrictive threshold, i.e., μglobal, is used instead.

For multiple comparisons, a more restrictive significance threshold for p value was used by a Bonferroni's correction for multiple comparisons.

The purpose of this study was to explore whether a restrictive transfusion threshold was as effective as a liberal transfusion threshold for patients undergoing aortic surgery with DHCA.
