Large differences in survey time across hospitals could be problematic for between-hospital comparisons, implying that survey time should be considered as a potential adjustment factor.
The association was slightly attenuated by further adjustment for height as a potential confounder and remained significant if sample size was maximized to include all women in the original study.
A potential adjustment to the situation could hypothetically yield a decreased level of distress, but if the spouses become gradually more exhausted due to constant pressure ("the wear and tear hypothesis", i.e. [ 53]), or if the illness progresses in severity, an increment in distress should be observed.
This is made possible because the trajectory of each plane has been worked out by computers some 25 minutes in advance and the pilots have already been informed of any adjustments needed to prevent a potential conflict.
The current study replicated the potentially useful technique developed by Wilensky and associates [ 27] but with some adjustments to correct for a potential selection bias.
In an experiment, experienced business professionals respond to an auditor's information request regarding a potential accounting adjustment.
Panasonic officials refused this week to confirm or deny the speculation, but because it sells the most plasma screens in the United States, a potential downward adjustment would be considered a harbinger of a price war for all varieties of big-screen TV's.
