The phrase "ascertainment as" is not commonly used in written English and may sound awkward or unclear.
It could be used in contexts where you are defining or explaining the role or function of ascertainment in a specific situation or framework.
Example: "The ascertainment as a method of evaluation is crucial for understanding the data."
Alternatives: "determination as" or "identification as".
Questions, however, have been raised about the potential effects of screening and case ascertainment as well as modifying effects of iodine deficiency on risk estimates (Boice, 2005).
This could plausibly be higher for some disorders than others for example, through international differences in clinical service provision and thus in ascertainment, as well as other variability, such as ethnic composition.
In the context of CNV association with clinical traits, further validations are necessary and would include replication of the association signal in independent cohort(s) (with appropriate clinical ascertainment) as well as CNV validation (for e.g. with MPLA or PCR approaches) in probands.
The discrepant findings between clinic- and population-based studies, including ours, may reflect differences in statistical power and/or biased ascertainment, as all cases in the clinic-based studies were ascertained through specialist services.
This evaluation documented 95 HIV-infected TB patients from Vizianagaram, or 82% of the expected number, suggesting that the ascertainment as sufficiently efficient to expect that these results could be generalized to all HIV-infected TB patients in these districts.
We simulated 2 Mb regions, with SNP ascertainment as described previously [9]; an allele with a given selection coefficient was added to the Chinese population at a random position in the region and at a random time between the present and the divergence of the Chinese from the other populations.
Other methodologic issues are type, duration, severity, and number of comorbidities included in the ascertainment methods, as well as sources included in the research.
These findings suggest that detection and ascertainment bias as well as confounding by indication had a considerable influence on the overall result, which may explain why previous meta-analyses have disagreed in their assessment of the benefit of antiviral therapy.
Of particular interest will be the estimation of the strength of gBGC free of ascertainment bias, as well as systematic examination of tract length distribution and the patterns of complex NCO resolutions revealed by this study.
Didion et al. extended the work using 351 mouse samples and showed that inclusion of VINOs in analysis reduces ascertainment bias as well as improves accuracy of the results [ 24].
Despite the cumulative ascertainment of AS cases, the term "point prevalence" is used.
