Hence, for our outcomes of laboratory-diagnosed influenza in the infant or in the mother from 12 months prior to delivery to 6 months postdelivery, individual data are obtained with consent from state/territory administered data sets of laboratory-confirmed influenza results.
Survey based measures are also relatively easy to administer; data can be obtained from large samples relatively quickly, and can be inexpensive.
The 15 research days consisted of a three-day pre-test phase in which a total of seven tests were administered, followed by a nine-day training stage, and ultimately, a three-day post-test phase in which the initial seven tests were re-administered (data from a subset of tests are reported here).
The same questionnaire was administered and data from the untrained (control) group was compared with the 2010 trained group.
Detailed information was collected using self administered questionnaires, data extraction from medical notes, linkage to routine information systems, and at research clinic examinations.
To study the necessity of data points-in-time, the mean absorbed dose for each kidney per administered activity (D/A administered) was determined when omitting one of the data points (1 h, 1 day, 2 days, or 7 days) and compared with D/A administered based on data from all time points.
In order to validate the identity and amount of the administered drugs relevant data from the system of the Veterinary Information Service for Drug Use, Toxicology and Pharmaceutical Legislation VETIDATA (http://www.vetidata.de) were made available to the study database for background information on the drugs.
Patients with in-office injection claims (J-codes) during follow-up were excluded because it was not possible to accurately estimate the quantity of medication administered from the data that were available.
Data collection: Interviewer administered questionnaire and data extracted from medical records.
TFB has low toxicity (rat LD50: 550 mg/kg when administered subcutaneously, according to data from NaBF4 material safety data sheet).
A pre-tested questionnaire was administered to collect the data from 345 randomly selected persons with diabetes.
