First, lymphocyte count <1.5 × 10/l is defined as malnutrition in other literatures, as the lack of validation of such definition in chinese, <0.8 10/l is defined as malnutrition based on normal range used in clinic, this may influence the efficacy of the combined index.
Subclinical hypo/hyperthyroidism cutoffs are preferably based on normal laboratory reference ranges of TSH and FT4, but in the absence of FT4 we used TSH and TT4, as reported previously (Wu et al. 2006).
The Ntx normal ranges were based on normal male (71 subjects) and female controls (58 premenopausal and 92 postmenopausal subjects) in the regional population, not known to have bone disease or to be taking drugs known to affect bone metabolism.
It reduced the guidance, based on normal weather, from a range of £9.3m to £9.8m published in September.
This model, based on normal mode theory, simulates an underwater acoustic propagation for range-dependent environments.
From the experimental results, the measurable range of the system is 525 με, and the precision is ±1 με based on normal matched gratings.
For laboratory tests, toxicity grading was assigned using normal reference ranges based on a similar local pediatric population with the exception of absolute lymphocyte counts, which were based on normal values in Ugandan children [28].
Based on this normal range, normal (norm), heterozygous (het) and homozygous (hom) FMR1 genotypes can be described, which are reflective of distinct ovarian aging patterns [8].
Public contaminant profiles from the JOSM studies in the oil sands region are used to evaluate the changes using an interpretation framework based on estimated normal ranges using existing data for site-specific, local and regional (distant) levels that was modelled after the tiered Canadian EEM design.
Cutoff points to categorize the clinical pathological results were based on 1) normal ranges, 2) definitions of severity for a given marker [i.e., GFR reflecting stages of renal disease as per guidelines (35)], 3) adequate number of groups to illustrate any dose-response relationship, and 4) sufficient numbers in each group to observe any meaningful results.
