Rather than rely only on a single measure, such as the CFR, to assess the potential effects of a pandemic, which may be misleading if those data are unavailable or not representative early in the pandemic, we incorporated several epidemiologic measures into the framework, although the CFR remains a valuable measure of clinical severity.
We incorporated several elements into the design of this study that were intended to improve our ability to determine whether or not IDE has LOAD susceptibility alleles.
As a result, in the present study we incorporated several techniques to assess the outcome of combining targeted NF-κB inhibition with chemotherapy on cell growth, cell number and apoptosis.
Because lung disease is correlated with smoking status, we incorporated several approaches to a smoking indicator, based on prior research with VHA data [ 28].
Based on this experience, we incorporated several upper-level mathematics and computer science students into the IQS course as teaching assistants.
Although we incorporated the ability to regulate expression of the reporters, we found that this was not necessary.
We restricted biological reality for analytical convenience, although we incorporated certain minimum aspects of that reality essential for our purpose.
Finally, although we incorporated extensive information on potential social and environmental factors that are associated with childhood adiposity and cardiometabolic risk factors, we acknowledge that residual confounding from unmeasured covariates such as parental income or social class is still possible.
