I have a list of similar types of activities in a blog post here which includes task-based reporting such as the search for computer scientist Jim Gray, the use of Ushahidi during the Haiti earthquake, the Guardian's MPs' Expenses project, etc.
Several methods based on this approach have been reported, such as the surface modification of solid supports with hydrophilic synthetic polymers [91, 92] and peptides [93] with specificities and affinities toward enzymes, and the fusion of enzymes with peptide tags [94] or anchor proteins [95, 96].
This test has shown abnormal results in people with ME/CFS [ 35], and could perhaps be used more often in disability assessments, in combination with instruments based on patient report such as the SF-36.
Most of the available data sources are based on voluntary reports such as adverse events, prescription monitoring, disease registries, administrative databases, primary care electronic patient records, or pharmacy dispensing databases.
This evidence is based on several reports, such as the incidence of spontaneous regressions observed in a small number of these patients (De Riese et al, 1991) and its response rate to immunotherapy (Alexandrescu and Dasanu, 2006; Motzer and Bukowski, 2006; Yang and Childs, 2006), such as high-dose IL-2, suggesting that host immune response to RCC has a role in the disease control.
Other indicators are based on consumers' subjective reports, such as the monthly consumer confidence index (CCI) issued by The Conference Board [9], and the monthly index of consumer sentiment (ICS) published by the University of Michigan [10].
Preconception dietary habits were defined as risk factors based on the self report, such as "dislike vegetables" and "vegetarian", which indicated "seldom eat meat and eggs".
Based on adverse outcome reports, such as renal dysfunction and coagulopathy, high molecular weight starches have already been phased out in favour of HES (130/0.42).
These range from genetic databases such as OMIM (9) and T2D-Db (10), rare metabolic disease databases based on individual case reports such as RAMEDIS (11), to general metabolic and endocrine databases such as the Human Metabolome Database (12) and Hmrbase (13).
Assessing risk based on spontaneous adverse event reports (such as AERS) is complicated because of variable under-reporting, indeterminate population size, and inconsistent data quality, especially for details on drug exposure and underlying diseases [ 66].
Objective To investigate the effect of an additional review based on reporting guidelines such as STROBE and CONSORT on quality of manuscripts.
