Of the 183 patients, 144 completed the assessment; reasons for not doing so were not reported.
If a patient was not able to complete an assessment, reasons were noted by the assessor using a standardised chart.
Of the 75 patients that were included at the clinic, 14 withdrew in the period between inclusion and pre-treatment assessment (reasons for withdrawal are given in Figure 1) and 61 were randomized.
Because passions, volitions, and actions have no content suitable for assessment by reason, reason cannot assess prospective motives or actions as rational or irrational, and therefore reason cannot, by so assessing them, create or obstruct them.
His assessment of reason, even in his most outré statements (reason is like a runner who does not know when the race is over, or like another Penelope undoing at night what was done during the day), is on a case-by-case basis, and whatever generalizations he offers are open to revision.
There are no details available on characteristics of both responders and non-responders, which complicates the assessment of reason for nonresponse and the implications of the nonresponse [ 25].
The outcome measure was an assessment of reason for use and was coded as: wellness only (n = 3572), both treatment and wellness (n = 2458), and for treatment only (n = 973).
Our assessment of reasons for deviations was subjective and sometimes reasons for deviations were overlapping/inter-related, and as a result there is a potential for misclassification bias, including categorisation as permissible or non-permissible deviations.
A detailed assessment of reasons for refusal will be described separately; in general, older women and women with lower household income were least likely to participate.
Definitions of LTFU and the assessment of reasons for not returning to the clinic were not standardized across studies, which precluded formal meta-analysis of these data, and information on causes of death was limited.
