Thus, the final analysis utilised data from these 3,898 children.
The analysis utilised data from waves 2 to 9 for all participants (n=1934) who completed the survey at least once in adolescence (waves 2 6) and were alive at wave 9, with multiple imputation used for incomplete records.
A 2008 meta-analysis utilising data from 24 studies and 111,758 patients with RA (up to July 2005) reported a standardised mortality ratio from cardiovascular (CV) causes of 1.5 (95% CI: 1.39 to 1.61) [ 6].
First, it is an exploratory subgroup analysis, albeit preplanned, utilising data from older patients in a trial with no age limit.
The persistence of change in the MADRS score will then be assessed using repeated measures analysis of variance utilising data from all time points.
12 21 Educational level was strongly associated with SRH; the lower the educational level, the higher was the prevalence of poor SRH, which is completely consistent with previous results 10 13 21 and with a previous analysis in the Republic of Ireland, utilising data from the previous 1998 SLÁN survey.
This analysis only utilised data from the baseline visit.
However, as data were only available from children who were referred from vision screening, analysis of NPV, sensitivity and specificity relied on utilising data from both eyes of each child, taking into account the correlation between the two eyes.
Utilising data from both first year students and second year students as part of a multigroup analysis, unconstrained nested model comparisons showed no significant difference in the unconstrained model between year groups (Δχ(7)=3.079,p=0.878).
Utilising data from health administrative databases ensured that few participants were lost to follow-up.
Weighted methylation scores were calculated utilising data from 183 CpG sites previously associated with smoking [ 7].
