The average recruitment rates as well as the mortality rates of the latter species were conspicuously higher in the AF plots than in the NAF plots.
There were statistically significant negative relationships between 3-year average maternity rates and 3-year average sex ratios (R2 = 0.57, p<0.001, Figure 1), and 3-year average recruitment rates and 3-year average sex ratios (R2 = 0.64, p<0.001, Figure 2).
Yet, the average monthly recruitment rate of participants in the two protocols remained similar and was better than that of earlier studies in which Omosa, et al[6], reported recruitment rates of approximately 4 to 5 participants per month.
This Cochrane review proposed that the design of future interventions to reduce falls in community-dwelling older adults should anticipate, on average, a recruitment rate of 70percentnt, dropout rate of 10percentnt at 12 months and an 80percentnt adherence rate during the intervention.
Mean annual recruitment rate (Rec) to 1 year of age was estimated as the arithmetic average of the product of annual Mx and mean cub survival (Rec = Mx*Sc).
The recruitment rate averaged 13 volunteers per month for Protocol 010 and 14 for Protocol V001.
The recruitment rate has averaged 36 participants/week through the community laboratory services and represents approximately 10% of births in Calgary during this period.
Of these we anticipate 10% (8 10) will meet our inclusion criteria and 50% recruitment rate, generating on average 4 5 participating patients per practice.
It is anticipated that the average follow-up time will be 18 months assuming a constant recruitment rate.
