The phrase "avoiding potential confounding" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to research, statistics, or any situation where one aims to eliminate or reduce the influence of extraneous variables that could affect the results.
Example: "In our study, we focused on avoiding potential confounding by carefully selecting our sample population."
Alternatives: "preventing possible confounding" or "eliminating potential confounders".
Nationwide data, both from university hospitals as well as local hospitals were included, thus avoiding potential confounding by patient selection.
The cross-sectional area of muscle fibre was considered as the best indicator for muscle atrophy, thus avoiding potential confounding factors related to changes in extracellular space.
In RCTs, the study participants are randomly allocated to one or another treatment, avoiding potential confounding between treatment and outcome, and causal inference is unambiguous.
This maintained comparability of the assembled cohorts by avoiding potential confounding by known risk factors that could increase the risk of RSV hospitalization.
Following the previous studies, my empirical analysis relies on a difference-in-difference-in-differences (triple difference) strategy with the intent of avoiding potential confounding effects of the 2008 economic crisis which coincides with the policy period.
Ostensibly, unique mapping parameters are employed to create FPKM values while avoiding potential confounding effects of including genes that are erroneously counted as "expressed" due to cross-mapping of short reads to multiple loci.
The investigation of acute mechanisms of action, however, is a first step toward improving our understanding of drug-specific effects on brain activation and cognition, and has the advantage of avoiding potential confounds of long-term treatment such as symptomatic improvement, side effects, or chronic effects on brain activation.
It is probably worth noting that in this experiment we used two objects instead of three unlike in the memory experiments involving both sample and choice phases to facilitate measurement of changes in BDNF specifically related to the separation between locations, avoiding potential confounds related to a third location.
Because the priming approach has the advantage of avoiding potential confounds related to low-level differences with the baseline, given that the same images of faces are used in the primed and unprimed condition, our current data provide strong evidence for face-specific unconscious perception in both the FFA and STS.
Control fibroblasts were used to avoid potential confounding as a result of changes in gene expression potentially associated with GBA mutations.
To avoid potential confounding effects, control mice (n = 11) received the equivalent amounts of "cold," unlabeled scVEGF-PEG-DOTA conjugate.
