Furthermore, the Bartlett's test of sphericity produced a significant value, suggesting that there was a factor structure inherent in the data and therefore the sample size was sufficient to reliably estimate correlation coefficients.
Among these factors, only the performance status (hazard ratio: 0.923; 95% CI: 0.869 0.980; P=0.009) and stage (hazard ratio: 0.458; 95% CI: 0.232 0.907; P=0.025) showed a significant value for OS time, and no factors exerted a significant influence on TTP.
Steroid exposure was not a significant factor (p-value > 0.1) and was therefore removed from the model In this study of childhood cancer survivors (CCS) < 18 years of age whole body and lumbar spine BMD deficiencies (BMD Z-scores ≤ -1) were significantly more common than in a healthy sibling control group.
In addition, the individual midwife who delivered the child was a significant influencing factor, with ß-values ranging from −0.028 to 0.899 compared to the reference midwife.
An alumni survey revealed that time spent on a research project is also a significant factor in the value former students assign to the experience one or more years later.
The GAVI Alliance is supporting PCV introduction in all developing countries, and the magnitude of the indirect effects of PCV will be a significant factor determining the value of these investments.
In our study, we have shown that the WFA+-M2BP value is also a significant risk factor of HCC development independent of these factors.
In a univariate analysis stratifying patients according to the median value, radiosensitivity was a significant prognostic factor for overall survival, local control and metastasis-free survival.
In line with former studies, which reported female gender to be a significant risk factor for LBP (OR values between 1.11 and 2.43 [ 19, 29, 36]), girls emerged from this study as having more than double the risk for LBP (OR = 2.45) compared to boys.
Similarly, increased values of RHR constitute a significant risk factor in the development of cardiovascular outcomes, such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death and stroke (independent of blood pressure and a variety of other risk factors) [ 8].
While the costs of an interventional strategy, such as an MTM program, remain a major issue for employers when attempting to implement these programs, patient satisfaction is also a significant factor in assessing their value.
