These features make the NHI claim data an appropriate source for comparing the performance of diagnosis-based as well as medication-based risk adjustment instruments.
This finding seems to suggest that in order to address this issue it might be best to identify and manage those cases by using the risk adjustment instruments, instead of "predicting" their future healthcare utilization [ 24, 29].
We studied this population because ICU patients have well developed risk adjustment instruments and a sufficiently high rate of AEs and death to facilitate identifying an association between AEs and outcomes.
The integrated RISE software carries out the required parameter adjustments and instrument alignments.
"I should point out that at least five other NSF facilities have undergone scope revisions or management adjustments or instrument reconfigurations," Collins said.
With some adjustments, this instrument can be used in very different settings, as well as with different professional groups.
Recent work has shown that residual bias can be amplified by adjustment on instrument-like variables [ 46, 47], a finding which, although its quantitative relevance is still under debate [ 48, 49], has potentially major implications for adjustment-variable selection in epidemiology.

However, the entire surface of the Folio could not be investigated by these detailed methods as the time for the investigation of the manuscript was limited, and the curved surface of the page required a manual adjustment of the instrument object distance that was not practical for larger scans.
Therefore, correct instrument adjustment should be frequently checked and preparation of a sequencing run done with much attention to detail.
