The baseline showed a difference of 32.09% compared to the average execution time without actions.
For the CEGS data 95%% of the genes with BIC values lower than the baseline had a difference of less than 12.
For example, a pre-study power analysis estimated that to show a difference in CAC scores among individuals with any coronary calcification detected at baseline would have required a difference of 26 Agatston units per year between RA patients and controls.
Furthermore, as previously reported, a difference larger than 5% of mean score values compared to baseline was considered as indicating a difference of clinical interest for the EORTC QLQ-CX24 and HADS subscales [ 25, 26].
The drop-out group at the initial cohort baseline consisted of more men (a difference of 17 percentage points), were somewhat younger (an age difference of <0.1 years), more often married (a difference of 1.4 percentage points), and more often foreign-born (8 percentage points), compared to the study population invited to participate [ 29].
The overall intervention effect after adjusting for clustering and baseline value was small with a difference of 0.5 points between the intervention and control cluster (95% CI −3.2 to 4.2; table 3).
The non-respondents at the initial cohort baseline were more often male (a difference of 17 percentage points) and were somewhat younger (an age difference of <0.1 years), more often married (a difference of 1.4 percentage points), and more often foreign-born (8 percentage points difference), compared to the study population invited to participate [ 26].
At baseline, a mean difference of 0.12 was observed between "slightly/moderately ill" and "markedly ill" patients (p < 0.05), and 0.18 between "markedly ill" and "seriously ill" patients (p < 0.001).
Within the intent-to-treat analysis, where the missing post values were replaced with a difference of 0 (baseline carried forward), the group differences appeared clearly smaller but remained statistically significant.
To decide if the AV presentation had been synchronous or asynchronous in the Baseline condition required an AV timing offset of 178 ms, a difference of 64 ms. RS showed a similar pattern of results, with discrimination thresholds of 103 ms in the Concurrent condition and 161 ms in the Baseline condition, a difference of 58 ms (see Figure 5B).
