Based on these observations, the body of evidence in this review is likely inadequate to evaluate causation because evidence is available from very few studies and the disease outcomes evaluated tend to be common non-specific outcomes, i.e., self reported wheeze.
Those patients gastrointestinal and pulmonary symptoms are common but non-specific, and include abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, adynamic ileus, small bowel obstruction (SBO) and protein-losing enteropathy, as well as pneumonia [ 2].
Fatigue is a common, non-specific, symptom experienced by most people at some point during their lives.
Search by NR synonyms that are common with other non-specific proteins was avoided.
The main symptom is lower abdominal pain, which is common and non-specific.
This is likely to be the result of common "non-specific" processes associated with starting treatment and, interestingly, its magnitude is a powerful predictor of outcome (Agras, Crow et al., 2000; Fairburn et al., 2004).
One specific source of bias that is well recognized for common non-specific infectious illnesses, is the impact of both under-ascertainment (of illnesses that do not result in a healthcare visit) and under-reporting (correctly diagnosing and reporting NoV cases with non-specific symptoms) [ 96].
The cross-sectional postal survey reported in this paper constituted the first phase of a mixed method study which aims to achieve an understanding of self-care behaviours in the community, focusing on common non-specific symptoms that are difficult to treat with medical interventions but which may be amenable to self-care practices.
Missed and delayed diagnosis of TB in children is common, due to non-specific presentation, paucibacillary disease and the difficulty of expectorating sputum [ 50].
Thyroid disorders are common and tend to have non-specific appearances on CT scans.
