Our previous work showed that tumour necrosis is an attractive and easily assessable factor that may be used to predict benefit from hypoxia modification in bladder cancer (Eustace et al, 2013a).
Accordingly, we are unsure to what extent each of these non-assessable factors contributed to the suboptimal treatment patterns observed.
The AFDA scoring system (Table 3) is based on assessable patient factors.
In contrast, the knowledge of preoperatively assessable prognostic factors in UTUC is still limited.
Mammographic density is the single assessable risk factor with the largest population-attributable risk and also has a substantial heritable component [ 30, 31].
We hypothesize that patient demographic factors assessable by the clinician at fracture presentation can predict nonunion.
This study scrutinized several factors assessable in postoperative orthopantomographs which might elevate the risk of osteosynthesis failure.
PURPOSE: We sought to identify factors assessable at the time of admission for fever and neutropenia that predict bacteremia in children with cancer.
This study was designed to identify molecular prognostic factors assessable at diagnosis, as Rb and p53 genes, 9p21 and 7q31 loci and a region surrounding the APC gene.
Our study, including 54 patients, was therefore designed to identify prognostic factors assessable at diagnosis in osteosarcoma by analysing the microsatellite status of 5q21, 7q31, 9p21, 13q14 and 17p13 loci.
This study aimed to quantify the predictive power of easily assessable demographic and/or anatomical factors such as sex, age, occupational demands on the hand, body height, and body weight on grip and pinch strength.
