The phrase "adequacy up" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It is unclear when to use it, as it lacks context and does not form a recognizable expression.
Example: "The report needs to address the adequacy up of the resources allocated."
Alternatives: "sufficiency increase" or "improvement in adequacy".
But investors' worries about capital adequacy are showing up in share prices.
In particular, random sequence generation, allocation concealment, performance bias, detection bias (masking of outcome graders to initial treatment), attrition bias (adequacy of follow up) and reporting bias were assessed.
The quality of cohort studies was assessed as follows: representativeness of the exposed cohort, selection of the unexposed cohort, ascertainment of exposure, outcome of interest not present at start of study, control for the most important factor or the second important factor, outcome assessment, follow-up long enough for outcomes to occur, adequacy of follow-up of cohorts (Table 2).
In the selection and outcome sections, three of the nine items—"demonstration that outcome of interest was not present at start of study," "was follow-up long enough for outcomes to occur?" and "adequacy of follow-up"—were removed since they are not applicable to cross-sectional studies.
REC: representativeness of the exposed cohort; SNEC: selection of the non-exposed cohort; AE: ascertainment of exposure; DO: demonstration that outcome of interest was not present at start of study; SC: study controls for age, sex; AF: study controls for any additional factors; AO: assessment of outcome; FU: follow-up long enough for outcomes to occur; FUO: adequacy of follow-up of cohorts.
The measure evaluated adequacy of follow-up for depressed patients but was removed from clinic directors' performance plans in fiscal year (FY) 2009 because it had not been empirically validated.
However, low quality was seen in the adequacy of follow-up of cohorts (item 8; 18 of 32).
The following items were assessed in each study: exposed cohort, ascertainment of exposure, outcome of interest, comparability of cohorts, assessment of outcome, and adequacy of follow-up.
9 The controlled studies were evaluated for representativeness, selection, and comparability of the cohorts, ascertainment of the intervention and outcome, and the length and adequacy of follow-up.
The scale evaluates selection of the cohort, exposure assessment, comparability of exposed and non-exposed cohorts, assessment of outcome, and adequacy of follow-up.
