For patients undergoing an elective procedure, reduction of postoperative complications should be a targeted objective for all doctors [ 21].
A targeted objective response rate of 80% versus an objective response rate of no interest of 60% with a power of 0.90 at a one-sided significance level of 0.05 was chosen, and accrual of 45 assessable patients was projected.
A targeted objective response rate of 55% vs an objective response rate of no interest of 35% with a power of 0.80 at a one-sided significance level of 0.05 was chosen, and accrual of 37 assessable patients was projected.
Specific surveillance (i.e. surveillance with a targeted objective) is focused on the surveillance of a pre-defined disease or group of diseases whereas non-specific surveillance (i.e. surveillance with a non-targeted objective) aims at detecting unknown or emergent diseases [ 4].
We developed a six-section questionnaire that covered the drugs used, modalities of drug administration, use of sedation scales and procedural pain scales, use of written local procedures, and targeted objectives of consciousness.
Using a case study for a proposed PES initiative in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal, we employ spatial analysis to geographically visualise the discrepancy between the location for a typology of targeted objectives and actual preferences which support local perceptions of natural resource use and conservation.
A list of the targeted objectives was developed, categories were created and plans were classified by the two coders according to their main goal.
It focuses on three combined strategies based on the targeted objectives and a pragmatic vision of the evaluation.
The findings show a fluid and volatile process, with debate over whether ongoing engagement in HSS by Global Fund and GAVI represents a dilution of organizational focus, risking ongoing support, or a paradigm shift that facilitates the achievement of targeted objectives, builds systems capacity, and will attract additional resources.
To represent the environment in a targeted manner with the objective of evaluating the possible effects/impacts of the implementation of a plan, it was considered useful a dislocation of the different environmental themes.
