To avoid bias in the analysis due to over-representation of identical or similar sequences, we compared the protein sequences using BLAST (Altschul et al., 1997).
The re-analysis of MIST2 found that fixed-effects and Mantel-Haenszel led to many patients being dropped from the analysis due to over-stratification (up to 69% dropped for Mantel-Haenszel, and up to 33% dropped for fixed-effects).
Individuals reporting >75 hours total activity per week (outside of school) were excluded from the analysis due to likely over-reporting of time.
The authors exercised caution over the adult data analysis due to methodological concerns over one major trial included.
Two items ("thooton", "thel") were removed from the analysis due to high error rates (over 90%), leaving 358 nonword items.
Not surprisingly, there was a significant correlation between CSF and blood WBC over time or when all three groups were included in the analysis due to alterations in these parameters over time or between groups (data not shown).
Nine children had incomplete study days where data from 1 day were excluded from the analysis due to an incomplete sensor reading over the 5-h postprandial period (n = 7) or failure to complete one of the test meals in 20 min (n = 2).
Recently, in a separate study that was not included in our analysis (due to lack of documented complications), over half of skeletally immature patients with achondroplasia who underwent DO for stature lengthening had substantial growth inhibition and premature physeal closure of the lengthened femurs and tibias (Song et al. 2012).
RSM has a main advantage over the single factor analysis due to its providing the assessment of the multiple variables and their interactions effects on the responses by means of a reduced number of experiments [4, 8].
DTCC is able to undertake internal netting analysis due to having data on essentially all of the CDS market.
Darden Restaurants was excluded from this analysis, due to the recent divestiture of its Red Lobster chain.
