Apart from the obvious increase in assessment overlap, data from a common follow-up also facilitated the development and validation of statistical and psychometric approaches to the manipulation of non-identical measurements from earlier phases of data collection.
These studies differ according to inclusion criteria, follow-up periods, exposure assessment, overlaps, and other characteristics, which complicates comparisons as well as synthesis of evidence across studies.
There are additional challenges associated with the coordination across assessments, since issues overlap and, as a result, many contributors are involved in multiple assessments.
Determining property value from the system's tax and mortgage records requires algorithms that manage different assessment periods, overlapping loans, and asset transfers into account.
This was achieved by: (1) evaluating two different treatment concepts that modelled differences in treatment intensity and compliance; and (2) applying broad inclusion criteria, which allowed assessment of overlapping GI conditions that frequently occur in selected patients and in the general population [ 8- 10, 20].
In the part of the map where the themes education and use overlap, educational assessment is another relevant topic.
The S-RAMM had been validated for the prediction of self-harm in this population and was known to overlap with assessment of risk of violence [ 32, 33].
Also, more insight is needed into the triage activities of the regional ambulance services, both on the telephone and during field assessments, as they appear to overlap with both GP and AED services [ 34].
Copy number bins were 1 6 and >6, as beyond 6 copies the CIs for the given degrees of freedom begin to overlap, allowing for assessments of significant increases in copy number but limiting the ability to distinguish between nuclei with, for example, 8 vs 9 copies.
Although the main use of HRQoL instruments has been in the context of clinical trials, the observation that measures of patients' perception of their health do not overlap with clinician assessments of disability reinforces the importance of developing HRQoL instruments for use in routine clinical practice [ 14, 15].
