In this study we measured covariates potentially associated with ventilator settings or mortality, based on previous literature (for example, 15) and a systematic process.
Our statement is based on previous studies, for example, please refer to reference 9 for the role of PKC-β in BCR signaling.
No: when patients were selected, for example, based on previous (reference or index) test results.
For example, based on previous research and theory in evidence-informed policy, systematic reviews are considered to be a more informative resource than individual peer-reviewed studies [ 25, 44].
For example, based on previous prediction models [ 81], the exercise-induced changes in BMD observed at the FN and LS in the current meta-analysis would reduce the 20-year relative risk of osteoporotic fracture at any site by approximately 11% and 10%, respectively.
The light bulb is a perfect example, a device based on previous designs for something everyone was pursuing.
A practical strategy has been adopted, as follows: (a) analysis of the most important pathways based on previous studies in other diseases areas, for example response to methotrexate; (b) we will adopt a genetic strategy that involves using tagging SNPs to determine the overall genetic diversity of the chosen genes.
In our driving example, the investigators expect a maximum of 20% attrition for the one-year-long study, based on previous experiences with similar research projects.
Questionnaire items were based on previous public health surveys in Sweden and elsewhere, for example, the Skåne Public Health Survey (25).
For example, our drinking variable is based on previous weekly guidelines [ 36] and, therefore, may not identify binge drinkers who are highlighted in more recent guidance based on daily limits [ 57].
