The modified version of the Japanese Triage and Acuity Scale is a valid predictor of total admission and length of stay and may enable the nurses to triage patients without detecting the chief complaints.
This technique provides a valid measure of total body fat in older adults compared to the traditional hand-to-foot BIA method [23] [24].
On other occasions, the presence of these gelatinases has been a valid indication of total MMP activity and thereby the catabolic potential of the culture [ 6].
28 Estimated aerobic fitness was assessed through a single-stage submaximal treadmill walking test which has previously been demonstrated as a valid estimate of total aerobic fitness among middle-aged adults.
We decided a priori to use the total MFQ score as it is accepted as a valid single measure of total depressive symptoms, and so results would be more understandable.
The impact of urinary incontinence on daily functioning was measured using the seven-item short-form Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), which is a valid and reliable measure (total score correlation of 0.97 with long form total score) that is sensitive to change [ 66].
In order to have a valid country benchmark, the total sample was not weighted further by country size.
Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is a valid approach to estimate the total intervention and repair costs of a structure over time.
For instance, caffeine is only one out of the many different compounds contained in coffee, and thus caffeine intake is perhaps not a valid substitute for measuring the total effects of coffee consumption.
Corollary If Y 2(t ) → A 12 for any t ϵ {0,…, q -1} is added to Figure 2 then G 2 of any dimension is not a valid IV to identify the total causal effect of Y 2(q −1) on Y 1(q ), conditional on A 12. If Y2(t ) → A12 for any t ϵ {0,…, q-1} is added to Figure 2 then G2 of any dimension is not a valid IV to identify the total causal effect of Y2(q −1) on Y1(q ), conditional on A12.
