In order to assess whether levels of agreement within practices were acceptable, for each practice, for each subscale of the TCI, we calculated a measure of inter-rater agreement (rwg(j)) [ 34, 35] assuming a uniform null distribution, using SPSS [ 36].
This is acceptable for some practice areas (such as patent litigation, which is exclusively in federal courts), but the great majority of lawyers practice in state courts, or at least have to deal with state law issues.
Analyses of controlled clinical trial data from future trials with novel designs will be of critical importance to determine the effectiveness of device therapy for patients with severe and resistant hypertension and will allow for proper determination of patient selection and whether it will be acceptable for clinical practice.
Since EBM was first defined by David Sackett, it is no longer considered acceptable for medical practice to be largely based on clinical anecdotes or expert opinions [ 2].
The accuracy of CSBMS observed in our study is likely acceptable for clinical practice given that the precision in traditional method is almost 6 mm (typical open biopsy forceps used in traditional examination span 6 mm).
Even though our results are comparable with other European countries, it can be argued that 18.6% (11.4% falsely positive, 7.4% falsely negative) inaccurately measuring devices are not acceptable for clinical practice.
In this study, we administered 30 mg/kg of VPA to rats to test whether this dose is effective in treating TBIs, given that 30 mg/kg of VPA is acceptable for clinical practice.
In summary, the application of a sextant method, assessing only wear defects on the coronal smooth surfaces, and estimating severity by the diameter and depth (regardless of dentine involvement) of wear, may be considered for the development of a simple and standardised index acceptable for clinical practice and epidemiological studies.
Our earlier pilot study demonstrated that it was feasible, acceptable and affordable for practice nurses to extend their role to include screening for and monitoring of depression alongside biological and lifestyle risk factors.
The intraobserver and interobserver reliability of several elements of the physical examination has been explored previously and found to be acceptable for use in practice.
