Several studies report that differences in utilisation are reduced or even disappear when adjusted by gender, age, and socioeconomic position [ 6- 8].
a p < 0.05 b p < 0.01 c p < 0.001 The emergency department utilisation rate among foreign-born residents, once adjusted by age and sex, was 38% lower than that among Spanish-born residents.
Medium osmolarity was adjusted by adding NaCl.
However, in agreement with most studies using other approaches and not adjusting by the reference population [ 5, 27- 32], our finding of lower emergency department utilisation by immigrants suggests overall lower healthcare use in this population.
Keep adjusting by small increments.
The lack of an individual indicator on health status in Spain prevented us from adjusting the utilisation rates by health.
19 23 26 We adjusted for the utilisation spike in two ways that substantially strengthened the study design.
Adjusted utilisation Rate Ratios (RR) and their 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI) were calculated.
In chemoorganoheterotrophic growth, microorganisms have to adjust their utilisation of Gibbs energy, and thus their heat flux and network of reaction fluxes, to cope with such fluctuations.
