Thirteen studies reported adequate data on the threshold of the reference standard for inclusion in this analysis.
Pediatric intensivists seemed divided on: the type of catecholamine to use as a first-line agent, the optimal medication for induction for intubation, and the adequate transfusion threshold to be used for these patients.
Nonetheless, these two problematic amplicons were associated with replicates that did reach the adequate T1 threshold value and did not include allele Desu-DRB*074, therefore eliminating chances of allelic dropout.
Based on this classification, the Nonsmoker Group would be within the adequate BMI range and the Ex-smoker Group would be in the threshold range between adequate and overweight.
Factor loading values ranged from 0.43 to 0.69, all of which exceed the threshold for adequate loadings (which is 0.30).
Ten studies reached the threshold for adequate power (55%) suggested by Coyne, Thombs, and Hagedoorn (2010).
At baseline 4% of the respondents reached the threshold for adequate knowledge by responding to 10 of the 15 true/false knowledge questions correctly.
Although the reliability analysis showed that the maintaining purpose scale fell just short of the threshold for adequate internal consistency, this scale has good face validity.
Therefore, we decided to use 0.7 as the threshold for adequate results on test-retest reliability to perform a pooled data analysis.
Examination of the fit indexes showed that the overall fit of the model was good; all fit indexes surpassed the threshold for adequate fit (likelihood ratio χ [df = 2] = 4.04, P = 0.13; CFI = 0.97; NFI = 0.96; RMSEA = 0.07).
