The first component is a list of objective criteria (often referred to as "readiness to wean" criteria) based on general clinical factors to help to decide if a patient is ready to breathe without the help of a ventilator, such as that used by Ely and colleagues.
Additionally, based on general knowledge of risk factors for progressive joint damage in RA (longer symptom duration, presence of RA-related auto-antibodies, higher numbers of swollen joints and elevated acute-phase reactants are all associated with more severe damage), we made several other hypotheses.

"The specificity for heart disease and arrhythmias is very compelling for this being a cause-and-effect relationship," he said, rather than an association based on general good health or other lifestyle factors.
Here, the global optimization of an adsorption case study with conflicting optimal solutions based on multi-objective Response Surface Methodology (RS M design is facilitated with the implementation of BARON solver based on General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) with identical factor variables, levels, and model equations.
In relation to health system factors, maternal health policies are based on general indicators for ANC coverage and assisted delivery, which do not include (age-) specific sub-groups.
The screening programs are either based on general screening offered to all pregnant women or risk factor based screening stipulated in local clinical guidelines.
