The abstract reads as follows: "A novel approach to quantitative research assessment has arrived under the name altmetrics, using social media and Internet-based data to evaluate research impact from other angles than traditional evaluative bibliometrics.
Therefore, to strengthen our findings by expanding the study base and maximising the sample size, we conducted a nationwide study with prospectively collected, registry-based data to evaluate whether use of aspirin or other NSAIDs may reduce the risk of HL, and combined these results with those from the US study in a meta-analysis.
As well, our data are somewhat dated, although we believe that the data are appropriate for documenting baseline measures of quality of care by RWP status, and demonstrating how the Institute of Medicine's recommendation to use population-based data to evaluate quality of care can be operationalized using data from a population-based, clinical outcomes surveillance project.
We used population-based data to evaluate how often groups of randomly selected clinical laboratories accurately estimated the prevalence of resistant pneumococci and captured trends in resistance over time.
In this investigation we used population-based data to evaluate differences in exposures between symptomatic middle school-age children who did and did not report wheezing triggered by viral respiratory infections.
We used nationwide population-based data to evaluate the difference between mortality and LOS, as well as the total charges of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage treated between medical centers and nonmedical center hospitals (regional and district).
This study used 10 years of population-based data to evaluate the medical issues experienced in the antenatal and perinatal periods among early youth, adolescent and young adult mothers in Taiwan.
Despite having the largest population in Africa, Nigeria has no accurate population based data to plan and evaluate eye care services.
This study successfully incorporated a randomised cluster design, used peer volunteers to deliver the intervention, had a high rate of participation, mobilised and coordinated prevention activities for cardiovascular disease of both health professionals and community organisations, and relied on population based administrative data to evaluate the intervention.
A Professional Support Evaluation Framework was developed and used to obtain base-line data to evaluate the uptake and implementation of the State-wide Professional Support Policy.
Based on the passenger data to evaluate the drawbacks of scheduled timetables, Jiang et al. proposed a simulation-based model to estimate the passenger delays in transit network [121, 122].
