Low inflation based on low petrol prices IS the stimulus.
Therefore, when calculating the cost of illness based on the "low" prevalence scenario, we utilized the low end of the range of resource use estimates from the expert panel, and vice versa for the "high" prevalence scenario.
The direct costs of treating hyponatremia in the U.S. on an annual basis were estimated to range between $1.6 billion (based on the low prevalence scenario) and $3.6 billion (using the high prevalence scenario) (Table 5).
This possibility is expected to be of minor concern based on the low prevalence of these conditions in the general population (Jacobson et al. 1997).
Based on the low prevalence of penicillin resistance of SA, penicillin should still be the first choice of antimicrobial agent for treatment of bovine intramammary infection in Denmark.
Based on their low prevalence in the gastrointestinal tract, it is most likely that Xanthomonadaceae are transient members of the gastrointestinal microbiota.
For the Synovial sarcoma stratum, based on its low prevalence and in order to not delay significantly the duration of the study, lower power is considered acceptable and only 25 patients will randomized in this cohort (Alpha = 0.10, Beta = 0.20, 16 events and 25 patients).
The sample size required for this survey, which was calculated based on the lowest prevalence of major lesions observed in a previous survey (Dental Epidemiological Survey of Adults in Peninsular Malaysia, 1977) [ 16] was approximately 11,000-12,000.
Based on the rather low prevalence (an estimated 12 dementia patients per medical practice per quarter with a very broad distribution, see below) it also does not seem feasible – due to limited duration of study and resources – to collect patient data directly for the purpose of comparing the effectiveness of the two training concepts.
In 1995, when Finland became a member of the European Union, the Finnish Salmonella Control Programme (FSCP) [ 9] was established based on the low Salmonella prevalence in domestic livestock production.
