We assume that perhaps questionnaire-fatigue or complexity of recall caused several participants to skip the detailed section as there were no large differences in characteristics like age and educational level between those who did and those did not complete it (data not shown).
As a limitation of this study, no large difference was confirmed except for population density and numbers of patients and home visits per worker between the urban- and rural-centered agencies, although the agencies of these types accounted for approximately 80% of all agencies.
In this work, we measured significant differences in protein concentrations between the different enzyme samples as well as large differences in apparent concentrations depending on which assay was used.
But as well as large differences in climate and geography, there are politico-economic divisions too: Hull and Halifax have no more in common with the Highlands than they do with the Home Counties.
There are intrinsic location-specific characteristics in the composition of microtubule-associated proteins between these regions, as well as large differences between the overall architecture of microtubules and microribbons.
In particular, luminal-A and basal-like subtypes, defined using an intrinsic gene list, have distinct and reciprocal gene expression profiles as well as large differences in clinical characteristics, including survival [5], [6], [7], [8].
Explanatory factors were high illiteracy rates, low educational levels, and limited access to healthcare, as well as large differences between rural and urban areas.
As well as large differences between study areas, there is large variability between clusters within study areas for almost all pre-birth hygiene practices and postnatal newborn care practices.
A study by Krieger et al. (2001) compared geocoding firms and found widely varying geocoding success rates as well as large differences in the accuracy of census tract assignment.
Other studies have yielded varied results, most probably due to the heterogeneous patient population in the ICU setting, as well as large differences in study design and terminology [ 3, 4, 6, 7].
